On Monday, May 2, 2005, 28 year old Elodie Morel raided her closet looking for the perfect outfit. She settled on skinny jeans, a billowy white shirt, cream colored knitted sweater and a pair of high heels. Delicately, she styled her hair and applied makeup, ensuring she looked flawless. It was a big day for Elodie, the start of a new life, and she wanted to look her best. A waitress from the port city of Marseille in southern France, Elodie had worked in restaurants and bars most of her adult life, but she had grown tired of the long nights, unpredictable work hours, constant shift changes, unruly customers and low pay.
