The discovery of incest
Josef Fritzl
‘In late April 2008 a 19-year-old girl was admitted to her local hospital. The girl, Kerstin Fritzl, daughter of Elisabeth Fritzl, fell unconscious and was taken to hospital by her father, where a medical investigation revealed that one of her kidneys had stopped working.
This girl became the messenger of a desperate 42-year-old women, her mother, and as it turned out probably a life-saver too. The mother put a handwritten note in her daughter’s pocket, shouting for help from the world.
The message and the fact that the 19-year-old girl had no medical record was so disturbing the hospital informed the local police immediately. They asked the father to come back to hospital for an explanation and to inform the father about the girl’s condition, but Mr. Fritzl’s story about the missing medical history and mother was too unbelievable for the medics, so they informed the local police.
The police decided to start an investigation and they applied to the local mass-media to get information about the mother and her daughter’s medical history. Fritzl said all he knows about her daughter Elisabeth is that she left her family back in 1983 and joined a cult. He even showed the police a handwritten letter, dated January 2008, to confirm his statement. The investigation led to the conclusion that the sect Mr. Fritzl talks about may not even exist and the letter was dictated and oddly written.
The next day after the police started to focus on Mr. Fritzl, miraculously his missing daughter and 2 other children appeared in the family house. Fritzl told the police and his wife that she finally left the cult and came back home.
The police, not believing Mr Fritzl’s story, stopped Elisabeth and her father, Josef Fritzl, while on their way to the hospital, and brought them to the police station for interrogation. Fritzl maintained his original story as was expected, but after the police agreed to protect the 42-year-old women, Elisabeth, she started to talk.
The cellar, The abuse, The rape, The incest
A picture of the cellar
What she said was hard to believe. Her father, Josef Fritzl, had kept her imprisoned in their house cellar for 24 years.
The story starts in 1984 when Josef Fritzl imprisoned his 18-year-old daughter by locking her in the basement of their family house. Her father handcuffed her to a column, un-chaining her when she wanted to use the bathroom. He visited the prison at least once in three days to bring her food, and to rape her.
The dungeon has 650 square feet and the average height is below 170 centimeters. There is a corridor 5 yards long leading to the cooking place, followed by 2 bedrooms, each containing 2 beds.
The dungeon had two entrances each sealed with high security doors. One of the doors weighs 500kg, and due to its height it’s believed that became unusable. The other door which is metal weighs ‘only’ 300kg, and is reinforced with concrete. Each door is hidden from view and has electronic locking systems.
In total, to reach the part of the dungeon where Elisabeth was held, 8 doors had to be opened, most of the doors had electronic locking systems to ensure the security.
In the beginning when the so called father came to his girl they were alone, but it is believed that after she had given birth to ‘their’ children, Fritzl raped his daughter in front of them.
The prison’s inhabitants has severe D-vitamin insufficiency, they are very pale and anemic. The children can talk, but they also use animal noises in their communication. The low height of the cells caused the inhabitants roundy-back and one of the children prefers to walk on “4 legs”.
Doctors say that the psychic trauma is unimaginable.
The DNA tests confirm that Frinzl is guilty of the incest case, however, his lawyers stated that there is still no evidence for the other crimes.
Frinzl’s declaration for the local media:
I am not the beast the media depicts me as
What do you think? Is he a beast or a sick man?
