We're back with another classic this week. Rapunzel is a fairy tale that has been passed down for centuries with each re-telling becoming more dark and twisted than the one before. The story of the long haired princess was inspired by Saint Barbara, a real life christian martyr who suffered endlessly at the hands of her own father. Unfortunately, the victim of our true crime story suffered a similar fate, possibly worse. Elisabeth Fritzl was kidnapped and held hostage for years by a man that the community praised as a hero. This is a story of a monster hiding in plain sight.
