225-2508 Gateway News Service- New Paris
Ms. Cheri van Bluefenschmidt has vanished from sight. She was last seen at a charity event for the victims of violent crime on 120-2508, wearing one of her spectacular Cloudwear dresses, which had thunderstorms complete with lightning in strategic locals. She was accosted by one of the attendees who asked how she could have the audacity to even show her face and she replied: “De l'audace ? Moralité? Ce ne sont pas des choses dont je dois m'inquiéter. Quand on est aussi riche que moi, aussi beau que moi et aussi bien connecté que moi, de telles choses sont pour le prolétariat, pas pour la noblesse comme moi..” (Audacity? Morality? Those are not things that I have to worry about. When you are as rich as I am, as beautiful as I am, and as well connected as I am, such things are for the proletariat, not for the nobility like me..)
She was seen presiding over her “court” of sycophants before leaving in the company of the most delectable young man, who we suspect will be another amuse bouche for the Red Widow, hopefully he will not suffer like all the others. She was seen leaving with the young man in tow, obviously for a night of sport.
She did not return to her 400th floor penthouse apartment that evening, her servants, being used to her peccadilloes, did not report her missing for a full three New Parisian days (75 Terran standard hours), police swarmed the home, and took all her servants in for questioning. The attendees at the party were also questioned, and none of them recalled knowing anything about the exceptionally handsome and well dressed young man who was at the party.
Video shows Ms. Van Bluefenschmidt being rather forward in her attentions with the young man, and the two leaving the hotel where the event was being held, and getting into her Citroen which headed off towards the downtown area. Video shows the vehicle entering the parking area of the Hotel New Meurice which suffered a security camera malfunction, along with the security systems in a three block area around the hotel.
Hotel staff deny that she checked in at all, and no one can report seeing her enter the hotel, since when Cheri van Bluefenschmidt enters a hotel, she makes an “ENTRANCE”. Police are checking all departing starships and has issued a level one locate and find order per President Vert D’Argent who is apparently beside himself over the disappearance of van Bluefenschmidt.
