She had 4.3 million followers when she died. Three months later, she had 12.4 million. Persephone Beaumont was thirteen years old. An Instagram sensation. A perfect smile for the camera. An exhausted child behind closed doors. On December 10, 2024, paramedics found her in respiratory distress. Oxygen saturation: 82%. They recommended immediate hospitalization. Her mother refused. By morning, Persephone was dead. Detective Marcus Durand knows what happened. He just can't prove it. The iPhone? Chain of custody broken-evidence excluded. The laptop belonging to the mysterious contact who planned her emancipation? Booted three times before official cloning-inadmissible. Her brother's 112 videos documenting a year of psychological abuse? Filmed by a minor without consent-thrown out. Every piece of evidence that could convict H l ne Beaumont is procedurally tainted. Meanwhile, the Instagram counter keeps climbing. The foundation raises hundreds of thousands. The mother becomes a media icon-the grieving parent who survived injustice. And the truth? The truth doesn't matter when you can't prove it. Unsolved Crimes - Persephone is a devastating psychological thriller that exposes the dark machinery behind social media fame, the exploitation hidden in plain sight, and a justice system that protects those smart enough to leave no admissible trace. For readers who devoured Gone Girl, The Silent Patient, and Little Fires Everywhere-a story that will leave you questioning everything you see online, and haunted by a number: 12.4 million. Some crimes are solved by evidence. Others are buried by it.
