At some point, things in Logic's marriage reached a breaking point. His wife had spent years living under a very traditional setup, one where he was the sole provider and she was expected to stay at home, take care of the house, and raise the kids. At first, maybe it felt normal, or at least manageable, but over time that kind of arrangements started to feel more like a cage than a partnership. She got tired of it. tired of the expectations, tired of the imbalance, and honestly, tired of the relationship itself. Eventually, she made a decision that completely changed everything, she asked for a divorce.

That separation didn't just hurt logic, it basically shattered the entire life plan he had built for himself. Everything he believed was stable suddenly wasn't anymore. The idea of family, routine, and control slipped right through his finger. But as painful as that was, it wasn't the only thing weighing him down. Not long after, he was hit with two losses that would affect him deeply. In 2013, his mother passed away. That alone would have been enough to shake anyone, but just two years later, in 2015, his father died as well.

Losing both parents in such a short time span left a massive emotional void. It wasn't just logic who followed. felt it, his siblings, Stefan and Estelle, were also completely devastated. The three of them had grown up in a tight family, and now that foundation was gone. Out of the three, Stefan seemed to handle things the best. He managed to stay relatively grounded, maybe because of his personality or the way he processed grief. But for Estelle and logic, things were different. The tragedy didn't just make them sad, it amplified the issues that were already there between them. They had always been different in how they lived their lives. Estelle had her struggles,

especially with addiction and instability, while logic had always leaned toward structure, control, and a more rigid way of seeing the world. Those differences had caused tension before, but now, with their parents gone, there was nothing buffering those conflicts anymore. And then came the issue that would push the issue that would push. everything even further, the inheritance. Their father had left behind the family house in the valley, the same house where they had all grown up. That place wasn't just bricks and land. It was loaded with memories, emotions, and meaning. But instead of bringing them together, it became the center of a growing conflict. Logic, being the youngest, had very strong opinions about it.

In his mind, neither Stefan nor Estelle truly deserved to keep the property, especially not Estelle. He probably saw the house as something sacred, almost like a personal refuge tied to a time in his life when everything felt simple and good. Back then, things made sense. There was family, stability, and a clear sense of belonging. Losing that and now seeing the house at risk, felt like losing that passed all over again. He became convinced that his siblings weren't capable of taking care of it properly. In his eyes, they would either neglect it or misuse it. So he made up his mind, he would do whatever it took to keep the house for himself.

But that decision didn't come quietly. Arguments started happening more and more often, especially between him and Estelle. They would talk on the phone and what began as conversations quickly turned into shouting matches. Insults were thrown around, emotions ran high, and every discussion seemed to end worse than the last. Logic became so fixated on the idea that the house shouldn't remain shared that he tried to take matters into his own hands. He went to a bank and applied for a loan. His plan was simple, buy out his sibling's shares and become the sole owner of the house. That way, there would be no more disputes.

No more shared decisions. Everything would be under his control. At least, that was the idea. The reality hit him hard when the bank rejected his application. Just like that, his plan collapsed. The dream of keeping the house, the one place that connected him to his happiest memories, started slipping away. And that rejection didn't just disappoint him, it added to a growing list of frustrations that he was already carrying. Meanwhile, Estelle was dealing with things in her own way.

She would often go to the house in the valley, sometimes to spend time there with friends. The place became a kind of gathering spot, maybe even a temporary escape from her everyday struggles. But her behavior there didn't sit well with logic. He noticed that she would take items from the house, things that, in his mind, belonged to all of them or should have stayed untouched. But what really pushed him over the edge was the idea that Estelle wanted to sell the property. To her, selling the house might have made sense. It could solve financial issues, simplify things, or just give her a fresh start. But to logic, that idea felt like a betrayal.

Selling the house wasn't just a practical decision, it was, in his eyes, a direct disrespect to their parents' memory. That's when his mind was, mindset started to shift in a more troubling direction. He became paranoid. He convinced himself that if Estelle didn't manage to sell the house, she would try to take as many belongings as possible, furniture, personal items, anything she could grab, to either keep or sell later. Whether this fear was grounded in reality or not, it felt completely real to him.

So he acted on it. He started going through the house. and marking objects, almost all of them, with sticky notes. It was a long, exhausting task, but he committed to it. Some notes simply said things like, do not touch, while others pointed out items that were missing, suggesting that Estelle had already taken them. Instead of solving anything, this only made things worse. When Estelle saw those notes, it added fuel to an already burning conflict. More arguments followed. More accusations. More resentment. The house, which had once been a place of warmth and shared memories, had turned into a battleground. That was the situation

as things stood in early September 2016. Around that time, Estelle told her siblings that she planned to spend a few days at the house in the valley. It didn't seem unusual, she had done it before. On September 5th, she left her apartment in the city of Saints, where she lived with her son Tom, who was 22 at the time. She traveled by bus, and when she arrived, her best friend Emily picked her up and drove her the rest of the way to the house. Estelle had also made plans with her partner, a man named Daniel. They had agreed to meet at the house the following day. So, on the morning of September 6, Daniel went to the property as planned. But something was off.

He rang the doorbell, and no one answered. The doors were locked, and when he looked through the windows, the house appeared empty. There were no signs of movement, no indication that anyone was inside. He tried calling Estelle. No answer. At first, it might have seemed like a simple misunderstanding, maybe she had stepped out for a moment. But as time passed, concerns started to grow. Daniel began to worry that something might have happened to her, possibly an accident inside the house.

Not knowing what else to do, he called emergency services. Rescue teams arrived fairly quickly. Since the doors were locked, they had to force their way in to check the information. interior. They searched every room carefully. But they found nothing. No Estelle. What stood out the most was the condition of the bedroom where her belongings were. The bed showed no signs of having been used. It didn't look like she had slept there at all that night. It was as if she had vanished. Estelle Duran had disappeared without a trace. Once it became clear that Estelle was nowhere to be found, concern quickly turned into alarm. What at first looked like a strange situation started to feel much more serious. People close to her began reaching out to each other, trying to piece together what had happened and where she might have gone. The first person they contacted was her son, Tom.

He was still at the apartment in Saints, the one located at number four on Pierre-Henry-Simone Street, in the Boyle-Fierre's neighborhood. When they spoke to him, things became even more worrying. Estelle had never returned home after leaving the night before. There were no messages, no calls, nothing that could explain her absence. For Tom, the situation was unsettling, but at that point, there were still more questions than answers. With no clear clues and no sign of her whereabouts, the family decided they couldn't wait any longer. The next day, they went to the local. gendarmery to officially report Estelle is missing. Once the report was filed, the case began

to move into a more formal phase. Authorities started organizing search efforts, focusing first on the area around the house in the valley. For days, teams searched intensively. The surrounding land, with its mix of open fields, woods, and small waterways, was carefully examined. There was a growing fear that something serious had happened, possibly even a crime. If that were the case, time was critical. The ground in that rural area was often damp, which meant that any physical evidence could deteriorate quickly, making it harder to find clues. Despite the effort, nothing turned up. No trace of Estelle. No signs of a struggle. No personal belongings left behind that could explain what had happened. It was as if she had simply disappeared into thin

air. At one point, investigators considered the possibility that she had chosen to leave voluntarily. People do disappear on purpose sometimes, especially if they're dealing with personal issues or trying to escape difficult situations. But in Estelle's case, that theory didn't hold up for long. Yes, her life had its challenges, her history with a difficult situation. her mental health struggles, the ongoing conflicts with her family. But she also had strong reasons to stay. The most important one was her son. Their relationship, despite everything, was meaningful, and she had remained a central figure in his life. There was something else, too, something that made the idea of a voluntary disappearance even less likely.

Tom had recently shared some big news with her, he was going to become a father. Estelle was going to be a grandmother. By all accounts, she was genuinely excited about it. The idea of a new life entering the family seemed to bring her joy and a renewed sense of purpose. It gave her something to look forward to, something positive at a time when many aspects of her life were complicated. Because of that, investigators quickly ruled out the idea that she had simply walked away. As the investigation continued, more details started to come to light, details that would shift the focus in a significant way.

One of the key revelations was that Logic had seen Estelle on the night of September 5th, the same night she had arrived at the house. That information immediately caught the attention of the police. If he had been with her that evening, it meant he was potentially the last person to have seen her before she disappeared. Naturally, they wanted to know more. When questioned, Logic explained his version of events. He said that he had gone to the house in the valley that night for a specific reason, to give Estelle the keys to the property.

According to him, he had been holding on to them, and she needed them to access the house properly. He also mentioned something interesting, he believed that when she first arrived, she didn't have the keys, which might have forced her to enter by breaking in, possibly through a door or a window. Even so, she would still need the keys afterward, so he decided to bring them to her. But that wasn't all he said. Logic told investigators that when he arrived, Estelle wasn't alone. She was with a man he referred to as Nano. This detail added a new layer to the situation.

Who was this man? What was his relationship with Estelle? And why hadn't anyone else mentioned him before? Logic didn't seem to have much positive to say about Nano. In fact, he made it clear that he didn't trust him. He described getting a bad feeling about the guy, though he didn't go into much detail about why. It could have been intuition, personal bias, or something he observed during that brief encounter. According to logic, his visit was short. He handed over the keys, had limited interaction, and then left to return home. That was the extent of his involvement, at least from his perspective. But from the point of view of the investigators, his statement raised as many questions as it answered.

If Estelle had been with someone that night, then that person needed to be identified and located. Nano became a person of interest, someone who could potentially provide crucial information about what had happened. At the same time, Logic's role in the situation couldn't be ignored. Being the last known person to see a missing individual automatically places someone under a certain level of scrutiny. It doesn't mean guilt, but it does mean that every detail of their account needs to be carefully examined. Investigators began working to verify his story. They looked into timelines, checked phone records, and tried to confirm whether his movements matched what he claimed. They also started searching for any trace of the mysterious man he had mentioned. Meanwhile, the tension within the family didn't disappear, it just took a different shape.

The focus had shifted from arguments about inheritance to something far more serious and unsettling. The possibility that Estelle had been harmed, or worse, was now, very real. Tom, caught in the middle of it all, had to deal with both the emotional weight of his mother's disappearance and the uncertainty surrounding what might have happened to her. For him, this wasn't just a case, it was personal, immediate, and deeply painful. The house in the valley, once again, stood at the center of everything. It had gone from being a place of childhood memories to a source of conflict, and now, potentially, to the last known location of a missing person. As investigators continued to dig deeper, one thing became clear,

whatever had happened on the night of September 5th held the key to understanding Estelle's disappearance. And until that night was fully unraveled, until every detail was accounted for and every person involved was identified, the mystery would remain unsolved, hanging over the Duran family like a shadow that refused to lift. To be continued.
