HE MUST BURN ALIVE!!!
Josef Fritzl
HOUSE OF HORROR!!!
Case History
Josef Fritzl is believed to have begun abusing his daughter Elisabeth from the time she was 11 years old in 1977. On 24 August 1984, he allegedly lured her into the cellar of the family home at 40 Ybbsstrasse, where he drugged and handcuffed her, and kept her imprisoned until April of 2008.
In September of 1984, a letter in Elisabeth's handwriting appeared, telling her parents to stop looking for her. In either 1988 or 1989 Kerstin, the first of Elisabeth's seven children, was born in the cellar. Her second child, Stefan, was born around a year later. In May 1993, a nine-month-old baby, Lisa, allegedly left there by Elisabeth appeared outside the family home along with a note from her asking for the child to be cared for. In December 1994, another baby, Monika, appeared. Elisabeth's parents became the children's foster caretakers. In May 1996, Elisabeth gave birth to twins. One died after three days and Josef Fritzl allegedly burnt the body in an incinerator. The surviving twin, Alexander, was brought upstairs in 1997. A new note from Elisabeth in 2003 stated she had given birth to a son, Felix, a year earlier. He remained with Kerstin and Stefan in the cellar.
On 19 April 2008, Elisabeth's daughter Kerstin fell unconscious and was admitted to the hospital with a life-threatening illness. The medical staff contacted Interpol and started an appeal via a public media campaign to find the missing mother to gather additional information about Kerstin's medical records. A secret note from her mother asking for help was found hidden in Kerstin's pocket.
Elisabeth pleaded with her father to be brought to the hospital. Josef Fritzl then released Elisabeth from captivity along with her sons Stefan and Felix, claiming that Elisabeth had decided to come back after a 24-year absence.
On 26 April 2008, Elisabeth and her father went to the hospital where Kerstin was being treated. An anonymous caller informed the police about their actual whereabouts, which led the police to stop her father and mother in front of the medical building. They were brought to a police station for further interrogation.
Elisabeth did not provide police with more details until they assured her that she would not be forced to see her father again. She then revealed the whole story of her past life. Josef Fritzl was arrested on suspicion of sexual abuse and abduction. The following day, Elisabeth and her children were taken into care.
On 28 April Josef Fritzl confessed to imprisoning his daughter in a windowless cellar for 24 years and fathering her seven children. Police said Fritzl, an electrical engineering technician, had told investigators how to enter the basement prison through a small hidden door, opened by a secret keyless entry code. Fritzl's wife, Rosemarie, had apparently been unaware of what happened to Elisabeth. It is believed she assumed her daughter had ran away from home due to the letters that appeared in her handwriting.
