Listen Later

Crime talk timestamp;7:52. In 2008 an unprecedented case involving kidnap, enslavement, imprisonment, incest & rape was revealed in the quiet town of Amstetten, Austria .
A 42 year old woman named Elizabeth told police that she had been held captive for 24 years by her own father Josef Fritzl.
She had been locked away in the dark, cramped cellar of a building from the age of 18, whilst paedofile Fritzl lived upstairs with his wife. After suffering years of deprivation & sexual abuse Elizabeth had given birth to 7 of her father’s children .
When one child became desperately ill she was finally allowed to leave the cellar for the first time in her life to seek medical care.
Her sudden appearance ultimately led to Elizabeth also escaping from the hellish prison & her freedom led to the unravelling of Fritzl’s twisted crimes.
As Fritzl remains locked in prison to this day, we delve into a case that shows just how disturbed a man can be, even if he is your own flesh & blood. And how some predators really can lead a double life enabling them to successfully conceal the true monster that’s lurking inside .
Thanks to Elizabeth’s stoicism & bravery she was able to shed light & raise the alarm on the true horrors her father had put her through.
Admirably, despite the years of trauma she had experienced Elizabeth still managed to emerge back into the world as a true survivor ….
