AUSTRIA - Man locks daughter in basement for 24 years#1

Posted: 4/27/08 at 7:18pm

Police have arrested a 73-year-old man accused of locking up his daughter in his cellar for 24 years, and fathering seven children with her.

Elisabeth Fritzl, 42, has accused her father, Josef, of 'massive crimes'. DNA tests are being conducted on Ms Fritzl and six surviving children.

Elisabeth Fritzl told investigators her father put her to sleep with an anaesthetic on 28 August 1984, handcuffing her in a locked basement.

Officially, she was declared a missing person, with Interpol opening an investigation. Local authorities concluded she had been seized by a religious cult.

This is such a sad, bizarre story. The six surviving children age from five and 20. This is definitely too absurd to be made up.

Reading the reports is very disturbing.
