Man confined daughter, sired her 7 kids

Police: Man confined daughter, sired her 7 kids

3 of her children ‘never saw sunlight,’ official says; outrage in Austria


updated 1:17 p.m. ET, Mon., April. 28, 2008
AMSTETTEN, Austria - A man has confessed to imprisoning his daughter for 24 years in windowless cell with a soundproofed door and fathering seven children with her, police said Monday.

Josef Fritzl, now 73, also told investigators that he tossed the body of one of the children in an incinerator when the infant died shortly after birth, said Franz Polzer, head of the Lower Austrian Bureau of Criminal Affairs.

"We are being confronted with an unfathomable crime," Interior Minister Guenther Platter said.



Authorities said three of the surviving children — aged 19, 18 and 5 — were confined during their entire lives to the darkness of their cell by the suspect, who Polzer said "managed to deceive everyone" until he allegedly confessed in police custody Monday.

Police released Fritzl's full name and photograph at a news conference Monday, after his identity was widely reported by media in Austria and elsewhere in Europe.

The daughter, who is now 42, had been missing since 1984 and was found by police in the town of Amstetten on Saturday evening after police received a tip.

Police on Monday released several photos showing parts of the cramped basement cell, with a small bathroom and a narrow passageway leading to a tiny bedroom. Investigators said an electronic keyless-entry system apparently kept the daughter from escaping from the cell, which was made of solid reinforced concrete.

Fritzl appeared briefly in court Monday in the city of St. Poelten, where he was to be held in pretrial detention. He faces up to 15 years in prison if charged, tried and convicted on rape charges, the most grave of his alleged offenses under Austrian law, officials said.

He was an authoritarian who took care never to allow anyone near the cellar, Polzer told reporters.

"He admitted that he locked his daughter, who was 18 at the time, in the cellar, that he repeatedly had sex with her, and that he is the father of her seven children," Polzer told The Associated Press.

Three of the surviving children lived with the grandparents and were registered with authorities. The other three apparently were held captive in the cellar with their mother, Polzer told reporters.

Wife had 'no idea'
Hans-Heinz Lenze, a senior local official, said the suspect's wife apparently had "no idea" of what went on and was devastated. Authorities said the victims and Fritzl's wife were under psychiatric care in an undisclosed location.

"You have to imagine that this woman's world fell apart," he said.

Austrians — still scandalized by a 2006 case involving a young woman who was kidnapped and imprisoned in a basement cell outside Vienna for more than eight years — expressed disbelief at the latest case.




"The entire nation must ask itself just what is fundamentally going wrong," the newspaper Der Standard said Monday in a commentary.

Guenter Pramreiter, who owns a bakery just down the street, told The Associated Press that the suspect and his wife would regularly buy bread and rolls, though never in large quantities.

"They appeared normal, just like any other family," Pramreiter said. "I'm totally shocked, this was next door. It's terrible."


*DISGUSTING JERK! :bat: and to think he will only get 15 yrs of prison for a life he more or less took away from his own daughter. Where's the justice in that?"
"Yeah right the wife had no idea? C'mon"

This is easily the most disturbing thing I have read about in a long, long time. I am sickened by this. I saw photos of the cell, and when I read that three of the children had never been out of it in their lives (one of them 19!!) I wanted to get a plane ticket to Austria and hunt this c*ck-s*cker down.

He deserves the absolute worst penalty imaginable, and I hope that there IS a hell and he goes to it.

This is an absolute horror.
