An Austrian beauty influencer vanished while heading home from a Christmas party — and her ex-boyfriend and two of his relatives have now been arrested.
Stefanie Pieper, 32, has not been seen or heard from since she got out of a taxi with her friend at her apartment in Graz, the second largest city in Austria, on Sunday morning.
She never made it to a photoshoot the following day, according to local police.

Her former boyfriend was arrested after he allegedly torched his car in a casino parking lot in Slovenia on Monday, local police said.
