Scandal and Tragedy: Annabelle Prices Dark Legacy

socialite Annabelle Price had a troubled romantic history prior to her sudden death aged 34 - none more so than with her ex-husband, Fredrik 'Freddie' Blencke.

Price's body was found in a unit in Maroubra last Sunday after Eastern Beaches Police Area Command responded to reports of a welfare concern at a Wride Street property.

Police previously said that while a scene was established, there were no suspicious circumstances and a report was being prepared for the coroner.

Since then, details of Price's past have resurfaced after it was revealed that concerns for her welfare  last year.

Her most recent confirmed relationship was with Tom Fennell, the managing director of investment group Tama Capital. After their engagement ended, it's believed Price became isolated from her friendship circle.

But years before linking up with Fennell, Price was married to 53-year-old private wealth adviser Blencke, with whom she shared two children. 

The pair split in 2020 after what was said to be a tumultuous relationship which included accusations of assault.

Blencke, who had maintained his innocence, was cleared of assaulting his wife and breaching an apprehended violence order in 2022.

However, he went on to have another run-in with the law later that year when he was charged with, and pleaded guilty to, drink driving in the NSW Northern Rivers region.

Blencke blew a reading of 0.183 when police stopped his silver Mercedes-Benz on February 26, 2022, while he was on strict bail conditions not to consume alcohol.

He had already spent Christmas and New Year in jail for breaching his bail conditions that stemmed from the charge of assaulting his then-wife Price on August 16, 2021.

Blencke was subsequently disqualified from driving for nine months and a two-year interlock order was put in place to prevent him from drink driving. He was also fined $1,000.

Before calling time on their marriage, Blencke and Price had tied the knot in an intimate wedding at Maison des Polytechniciens in Paris.

Price was the financier's second wife, after he was previously married to Lucinda Rich.

Her most recent relationship was with Tom Fennell, the MD of Tama Capital investment group. After their engagement ended, it's believed Price became isolated from her friendship circle
