I just read about Elizabeth Fritzl's Story today, and it's probably the most depressing story I have ever heard. It's about a girl who kept captive by his biological father for 24 years, sexually abused and tortured at a small basement at their own home with out his mother knowing about it ( I doubt) she even gave birth to 7 children. Damn right?! Anyhow here is the full story with out further ado.
The Fritzl case emerged in April 2008 when a 42-year-old woman, Elisabeth Fritzl (born April 6, 1966), stated to police in the town of Amstetten, Austria, that she had been held captive for 24 years in a concealed corridor part of the basement area of the family home, a condominium-style apartment complex built by her father, Josef Fritzl (born April 9, 1935), and that Fritzl had physically assaulted, sexually abused, and raped her numerous times during her imprisonment. The incestuous relationship forced upon her by her father resulted in the birth of seven children and one miscarriage.
Three of the children were imprisoned along with their mother Elisabeth for the whole of their lives: daughter Kerstin, aged 19, and sons Stefan, 18, and Felix, 5. One child, Michael, died of respiratory problems three days after birth, having been deprived of all medical help; his body was incinerated by Josef Fritzl on his property. The three other children were raised by Fritzl and his wife Rosemarie in the upstairs home. Fritzl engineered the appearance of these children asfoundlings discovered outside his house: Lisa at nine months in 1993, Monika at ten months in 1994, and Alexander at 15 months in 1997. When the eldest daughter, Kerstin, became seriously ill, Josef acceded to Elisabeth's pleas to take her to a hospital, triggering a series of events that eventually led to discovery.
Josef Fritzl, aged 73, was arrested on April 26, 2008 on suspicion of serious crimes against family members and went on trial in Sankt Pölten, Austria on March 16, 2009.[ He was charged with incest, rape, coercion, false imprisonment,enslavement and the negligent homicide of the infant Michael.After a four day trial from which the public and the media were largely excluded, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

By the way, I already learned and read that there is a same like case of captivity in Mexico too. Damn what a effing world we are living. I wonder how many more undiscovered cases out there, I hope none but I doubt it. T_T
