A 73-year-old Austrian man has recently admitted to locking up his daughter and fathering her children. The man imprisoned his daughter in a windowless cell in his basement for 24 years and fathered her seven children. He originally locked hr up at the age of 18 and repeatedly had sex with her. The man, Josef Fritzl, also admitted to incinerating a newborn baby boy after it died shortly after birth. The father brought her down the basement in 1984, drugged her and handcuffed her. Since then, 3 of the children have been raised by the father in his house and the other three never left the basement, and have never seen the sun. The cell was protected by reinforced concrete an electronic lock with a key less entry system and a soundproof door to stop her from being heard or escaping.
This is astounding that this could go on for so long that nobody noticed. I would have at least thought that the wife would have noticed and set their daughter free. It is horrible that the man has gotten away with this for so long and ruined his daughters prime life. I do not know how nobody noticed three more children appearing in the family even though the wife is not pregnant. This story is baffling and it is amazing to believe that it lasted for so long.
