New Details Emerge from Autopsy of Beauty Influencer Stefanie Pieper Found Dead in Forest Suitcase

An autopsy has shed light on the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of beauty influencer Stefanie Pieper. The content creator, 31, was discovered dead inside a suitcase in a forest, a week after she was reported missing.

Pieper was last seen on November 23 when she failed to appear for a scheduled photoshoot, prompting a colleague to report her missing to the Styrian Police Department. Authorities quickly identified her 31-year-old ex-boyfriend as a suspect, leading to his arrest the following day.

On November 25, police conducted a search in a wooded area south of Maribor, Slovenia, where the ex-boyfriend had family connections, but the search yielded no results. After being extradited from Slovenia to Graz, Austria, on November 28, he allegedly confessed to the crime and guided authorities to the location of Piepers body.

Following the directions, Slovenian authorities found Piepers body inside a suitcase hidden in the forest. According to Patricia Weber, deputy head of media relations at the Graz Public Prosecutor's Office, the autopsy revealed that Pieper had suffered violence prior to her death. Weber added that further details remain confidential as the investigation continues.

Authorities confirmed that the accused is currently in custody. During the investigation, two relatives of the ex-boyfriend were briefly detained due to potential links to Piepers disappearance, but they were released after the confession and discovery of her body.
