Police Look For Links Between Young Woman's Murder And Father Who Held Daughter Captive For 24 Years

[cricketmk3]

For the life of me I can''t understand how the daughter and her children could live in a room for 24 years and not ever have to go to the doctor much less not ever having prenatal care or help with childbirth. This is unbelievable and there is no way the wife did not know something was amiss. The monster couldn''t have pulled this off by himself. It doesn''t matter what kind of sentence the piece of garbage gets...he''s in his 70s for goodness sakes, he''s lived most of his life and has gotten away with this abomination.

[juwboy]

Oesterreich, the leading newspaper in Austria, the birthplace of Hitler, calls this "the greatest crime of all time".

Clearly a case of historical amnesia!

[guest173]

that kidnapping of decades needs to be addressed, yes the raping is also very very serious, I agree that the penalties so far seem way too light for what he has done to his daughter day after day year after year and her children

[researcher11]

I wonder what the maximum penalty is in Austria for a 15 minute "quickie" with a 10 year old?? Perhaps a $5.00 fine and 48 hour probation?

[terribayless-2009]

I am sure 15 years will work just fine. He won''t live long once inmates know why he is there - no matter the sentence.

[curious51]

Why is there even a question about charging this monster with murder? He admitted "throwing the deceased child" in a furnace! It'' because of his "sexual stinginess" that this baby even died!
Negligent Homicide!

"Three of the children lived with the grandparents. Fritzl and his wife registered those children with authorities, saying that they had found them outside their home in 1993, 1994 and 1997." Doesn''t anyone else think that it''d look odd to have THE SAME COUPLE "find" a child 3 times in 4 years? Or does that just happen all the time in that town? I guarantee that would attract attention here.

There are some people in this world that are just pure evil. All you have to do is look at this man''s eyes, and he is definitely evil. So sad what the woman and those children went through.

this man should be executed on the spot. what a horrible little pervert he is. he is not metally sick he is just pure evil and we used to have the electric chair but the country decided it cruel and unusual punishment so now we get them super high and they go to sleep and it is all over with
I persoanlly believe if we had public hangings that would some idiots to think about what they do prior to the act

[tinaleann-2009]

ya know I must say, this has just been bothering me all day. I feel so sorry for the daughter, her & I are so close in age, she has been robbed of so many things, at the hands of these people, her own parents.all the things that a young girl expierences for the first time, friends, school, boyfriends, I dout that she will ever be able to have a normal relationship. In her mind what is normal????a discusting father thats crawls into bed with her, poor thing.maybe her father needs to be made an exmple of..... for all the other creeps out there.15 years is no where near enough, its just not.her life has been a total lie.

[marfly2008]

How can he only get 15 years when his daughter was inprisoned for 24 years? and that doesn''t include how how long he has molested her.....he doesn''t deserve to live.... he took away the rights and freedom of at least four people! he doesn''t deserve the right to life.

[edward1975-2009]

Just when you think that people can sink no lower, you open the paper and find they can. Where has sanity gone. Where have morals and a sense of right and wrong disappeared to. This animal deserves to have his right to stay on the planet card taken away.

[blackyowe]

This is a real weird case. I think the mother knew.

[dmotte]

Like the old saying, the closer the kin the deeper in.

[pollroller1]

They should put this son-of-a-b away for the rest of his life. Stick him with some big ole burly guys that will give him a taste of his on medicine if y''all know what I mean. He has completely ruined this poor girls life. Just thinking about this creep makes my blood pressure go up.

[minnick8-2009]

The wife was either born without a brain or her husband was abusing her too.

I''m certain the wife was also abused.

[pfd572]

For all of you who called the daughter a liar and ''headline'' seeker, shame on you. Are you here today offering an apology? This is unbelievably horrible on so many levels. Not just the fact it was her father, but the conditions she and her children lived under would be horrific if the jailer/rapist was a stranger. The fact it was her own father just compounds the horror and the crimes. Its been written the father was a tyrant who dominated the mother and the ''upstairs'' children. Forbidding them access to certain areas of the home. She may not have been aware, or so psychologically abused she wasn''t able to understand or accept what was happening. The authorities appear to believe her and they have more information that we do, so lay off or you maybe be apologizing, again.

I''m with you on this one.

[minnick8-2009]

I can''t believe the wife of Fritzl had no idea what was going on either. She certainly turned a blind eye, she didn''t want to know.

I can''t believe that in horrific instances where there has been abuse, torture, murder, and on and on why anyone would object to capitol punishment. Why should taxpayers pay to keep slimebags alive? There was a case in this state back in about 1978 where to men went into a hifi shop and poured drano down the throats of victims in that store; they died of very painful poisoning. Those two creeps were put to death years ago. Now everyone in here who misses them, please raise your hand.

Hm, I thought not.
