In this episode, we dive into one of the most horrifying true crime cases in modern history — the story of Elisabeth Fritzl. For 24 years, Elisabeth was held captive by her own father, Josef Fritzl, in a hidden basement beneath their home in Amstetten, Austria. Subjected to unimaginable abuse and isolation, Elisabeth gave birth to seven children during her captivity, three of whom never saw the outside world until their escape.
We explore how this nightmarish secret remained hidden for decades, the shocking events that led to Elisabeth's rescue in 2008, and the massive impact this case had on Austria and the world. Join us as we examine the psychological, social, and legal aftermath of a story almost too horrifying to believe.
