'Daughter Kept In Cellar For 24 Years'
Updated:07:30, Monday April 28, 2008 Police are searching a cellar in Austria where a father allegedly kept his daughter locked up for almost 24 years - forcing her to bear seven of his children. Elisabeth before she went missingPolice say Elisabeth Fritzl had been missing since August 29, 1984. Now aged 42, the woman was found after a tip-off to police. Her 73-year-old father Josef Fritzl has been arrested and is being held in custody. The basement area of the house in the town of Amstetten is reportedly made up of a very narrow hallway and several rooms. Authorities accessed the area after Mr Fritzl told them how to unlock a hidden door using a code only he had known. Speaking from outside the house, Sky's Greg Milam said: "The fact that police have been able to get inside that cellar is significant. "It means they have a better idea of what Elisabeth Fritzl was going through. "But it also means the father is talking to police." The case came to light after one of the children was taken to hospital in the town of Amstetten. The girl, 19-year-old Kerstin, was said by police to be "gravely ill". Elisabeth told police her father began sexually abusing her when she was 11 and locked her in a room in the cellar on August 28, 1984. During the 24 years that followed, she said she had six children by him. The seventh child was a twin who died shortly after birth. Mr Fritzl allegedly removed the body and burned it. The two oldest children, aged 18 and 19, and the youngest aged 5, are said to have been locked up with their mother since birth. Police said they had never seen sunlight or received any education. Mr Fritzl's wife, Rosemarie, had been unaware of what happened to her daughter. Josef FritzlIt had been assumed Elisabeth had disappeared voluntarily when the parents received a letter from her saying they should not search for her. Three of her younger children were each left on her parents' doorstep, the first accompanied by a letter saying she could not look after the baby herself. All were taken in by Mr Fritzl and his wife as foster or adopted children and went to school as normal. Police said Elisabeth only agreed to talk after the authorities promised she would not have to see her father again and the children would be taken care of. The mother and children are now being treated in hospital by a team of psychologists. DNA tests are being carried out to determine whether Mr Fritzl is the father. The case follows that of Natascha Kampusch, the girl who was held in the basement of a house on the outskirts of Vienna for more than eight years. http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30200-1314210,00.html
