The Gouffe Affair, also known as the Gouffé Case, was a sensational French criminal case in the late 19th century. In 1889, bailiff Toussaint-Augustin Gouffé went missing, and his body was later discovered in a trunk in Millery, France. Investigation led to two key suspects: Michel Eyraud and his lover Gabrielle Bompard. They had lured Gouffé, killed him for his money, and attempted to dispose of his body. Eyraud fled to North America but was captured and extradited back to France. Both were tried, with Eyraud sentenced to death and Bompard receiving a 20-year sentence. The case drew immense public and media attention due to its grisly details and international aspects.
