Stéphanie Beaufort

**Stéphanie Beaufort** (2014-2042) was the victim in What Can I Get You? (Case #8 of Stories Uncaged).

## Description

Stéphanie was a 28-year-old coffee store waitress as well as the daughter of Mainfred Beaufort.

## Murder Details

Stéphanie was found strangled and her body was leaning against a restaurant table. Sullivan managed to deduce that Stéphanie's killer strangled her from the other side of the table and a part of her face was leaning against a certain type of paper only used for the Emerald City newspaper. Connor then said that the coffee shop that Stéphanie's body was found in always handed out newspapers to all their guests and he never saw Stéphanie read the Emerald City newspaper, as she was always on her phone. Hence, it must have been Stéphanie's killer who read the Emerald City newspaper.

## Relationship with Suspects

Stéphanie started rumors that entrepreneur Yazid Shams was corrupt and didn't earn his money from the business he was trying to start. Stephanie said that he was making deals with The Blades and the Chinese mob in order to make money and his business was just a scam, which lost him a lot of customers and money. Stéphanie also constantly harassed and tried to ask painter Harry Baird out even though he made it clear that he wasn't interested. She told him that either he goes out with her or else she'll start spreading rumors about him via social media. Stéphanie also took charge of her father, Mainfred Beaufort's bank account after Stéphanie's mom died in a car crash and Mainfred started to drink a lot. Mainfred managed to stop his alcoholism but he didn't like that Stéphanie took over his bank account. When Stéphanie was a teenager, her and her friends robbed a bank account and stole over half of CEO Nicholas Madigan's company MirrorTech's money and nearly made them go bankrupt. However, after Nicholas took over the company after his father's death, he managed to turn it around and make it thrive the way his father always wanted it to. Stéphanie also constantly badmouthed barista Cynthia Parker to the coffee shop's boss and nearly got her fired several times even though all Stéphanie did was sit around on her phone while Cynthia often took over for her and covered extra shifts for her.

## Killer and Motives

Upon admitting to the murder, Mainfred said that after his wife died wife died, he got into a car crash that left him paralyzed for 10 years. He was living with Stéphanie, who was nursing him, but at the same time she was taking advantage of his state.

Stéphanie was stealing his pension salary and spent it on partying, and then she decided to sell their house that they had for 5 generations. Mainfred recently discovered that he could walk again, so he went to confront Stéphanie in the café. When she saw Mainfred walking again, she threw coffee in his face and tried to run away, but Mainfred grabbed her and couldn't control his anger.
