Interesting!

Investigators have said they believe Fritzl concealed his crimes from his wife, Rosemarie, and her sister said Rosemarie believed her husband's cover story that Elisabeth had run away from home to join a cult.
"We were all taken in by him," the sister, who gave her name only as Christine R., said in an exclusive television interview with The Associated Press. "Every person that looked in his eyes was fooled by him."
Christine R. described Fritzl as a "tyrant" who instilled a culture of fear at home, which may have explained why his wife and other children apparently never dared venture into the cellar ? which Fritzl warned was strictly off-limits.
"When he said it was black, it was black, even when it was 10 times white," said the woman, who was interviewed Saturday evening at her home in Austria. "He tolerated no dissent."
"Listen, if I myself was scared of him at a family party, and I did not feel confident to say anything in any form that could possibly offend him, then you can imagine how it must have been for a woman who spent so many years with him," she said.
She also said her imprisoned niece ? now 42 ? ran away from home as a 17-year-old, about six months before police say she was locked into the secret basement rooms. The previous attempt to flee may have made her father's story that the girl joined a cult more believable.

The domineering personality fits right into the profile that is being worked up around Josef. The attempt to flee when 17 would be a very strong indication of why Josef chose such a time to lock her away instead of (allegedly) just abusing her upstairs anymore. "If you love something set it free. If it comes back to you the love was real. If it doesn't, hunt it down and kill it." :wink2:



She was getting old enough to be out on her own and knew it and was also mature enough to begin to realize the (alleged) life of abuse she was experiencing was not normal and want to GTFO.

Someone's TV/Satellite was digitizing as this snip was recorded it looks like, so it's not a great Youtube video but still not bad for helping see, in 3d, what the "dungeon" was like. View is from left to right, along length of dungeon, starting from "entry" then hall, into first sleeping area, small connecting area, kitchen facing a nook with a table and a connected bathroom/shower area, then slides to another "hall" and into the final sleeping area.

Wow, not your run of the mill financial difficulties after something like this! Another piece of selfishness on the patriarch part, no planning for the family if something happened to him! Meanwhile, he's going on 4 week vacations to Thailand..............

Meanwhile, it emerged that Mr Fritzl, a retired engineer and real estate developer who was juggling numerous property deals, was financially ruined, with debts of millions of pounds.
It also emerged that Mr Fritzl?s wife, Rosemarie, and Elisabeth and her six children could end up homeless as there is a mortgage on the Fritzl family house in Amstetten. Mr Fritzl lived in the house with his wife and three of his children by Elisabeth ? Lisa, 15, Monika, 14 and Alexander, 12 ? while the other three children, Kerstin, 19, Stefan, 18, and Felix, 5, were forced to stay in the cellar with their mother.
A local bank has requested the immediate return of a loan of more than ?1 million (?780,000) that Mr Fritzl took out for property investments. In addition, authorities investigating his financial affairs have found mortgages amounting to ?2.2 million.
On top of the horrors of abuse, deprivation and their humiliation in the local media, where they are known as the Incest Family, the Fritzls are now facing financial ruin because of Mr Fritzl?s debts ? and the costs of long-term therapy, which could exceed ?1 million. Local charities are setting up funds to support the family, while authorities are looking for legal mechanisms to provide financial aid.

"I am not a monster" says the 73 year old Fritzl:

Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man who fathered seven children with his daughter while keeping her imprisoned in his cellar, has complained of receiving a bad press and not being given credit for keeping his dungeon family alive for more than two decades.
Fritzl, 73 claimed that media coverage was “unfair” and “entirely one-dimensional”, given the fact that he did not kill his daughter and the children he produced with her during 24 years of sexual abuse in a subterranean bunker in Amstetten.
“I am no monster,” Fritzl said though his lawyer Rudolf Mayer, according to the German tabloid newspaper Bild.
“I could have killed all of them, and no one would have known. No one would have ever found about it.”

Gee, I guess we should canonize the SOB.

[sarcasm]As long as that means putting the SOB in a cannon and lighting the fuse.[/sarcasm]

I am intrigued by the thinking process that allows him to feel that killing people is more monstrous than locking them up for their entire lives and raping them, and then locking up the children of those rapes as well.

He exposes himself as a god complex personality with that statement, in my estimation. "They live or die by my hand, I chose to keep them alive."

For the first nine years she was held captive by her father, Austrian kidnapping victim Elisabeth Fritzl was confined to a single room in the basement, according to information obtained by SPIEGEL. From 1984 to 1993, her father held her captive in the room. Only afterwards did he start to expand the cellar with additional rooms.
It has also become clear that until the expansion happened, the children born to Elisbeth Fritzl in the basement were also initially exposed to multiple incidents of her father, Josef Fritzl, committing rape against his daughter.
Elisabeth Fritzl has said that her years in the cellar began when her father locked her in the basement after he asked her to help him carry a door downstairs. For the first two days, he handcuffed her to a post and for the next six to nine months, he put her on a leash that kept her captive but allowed her to go to the toilet. According to sources, perpetrator Josef Fritzl admitted this in his first interrogations with investigators.

Someone help me out here, this makes no darn sense to me. The man is PENNILESS, or as near to it as is possible and still have property, how is this gonna help ANYONE?

The cost of their therapy is expected to exceed ?750,000 and Fritzl's financial affairs are in such poor shape - he has mortgaged his property for more than ?1.5 million - that they might be left penniless.
"The damage claims against Josef Fritzl could amount to millions," said Andreas ?hler, a Vienna lawyer.

"There are many points for which to claim damages: the sexual abuse of the daughter, her emotional pain after the death of one of her children, the suffering of all of the victims during the imprisonment, the physical pain, the psychological impact and so on."
According to Mr ?hler, the opinions of medical and psychiatric experts who will examine the victims could be used for the purposes of a lawsuit that could include claims for both physical and psychological damage.
The Fritzl children, their mother and even Fritzl?s wife, Rosemarie, 68, who has not been declared a police suspect, could also claim damages for future psychological trauma.
The exact sums that might be sought in damage claims were not revealed, but experts said that the victims could claim at least 200 euros (?150) for each day of captivity.

If they win, how, exactly, are they supposed to squeeze blood from that particular turnip?

actually im curious as to whether or not he actually said that or if the lawyer thought it would be a good quote to lay the foundation for an insanity plea.

Investigators have said they believe Fritzl concealed his crimes from his wife, Rosemarie, and her sister said Rosemarie believed her husband's cover story that Elisabeth had run away from home to join a cult.
"We were all taken in by him," the sister, who gave her name only as Christine R., said in an exclusive television interview with The Associated Press. "Every person that looked in his eyes was fooled by him."
Christine R. described Fritzl as a "tyrant" who instilled a culture of fear at home, which may have explained why his wife and other children apparently never dared venture into the cellar ? which Fritzl warned was strictly off-limits.

they were so afraid of this guy, they willingly looked the other way knowing what he was capable of. seems to me the daughter was the sacrificial lamb. no way no how you can tell me mom didn't know daddy dearest was having his way with the girl throughout her teen years. then she just "accepted" his story that she joined a cult? sure, anything to keep the abuse safely redirected elsewhere. do anything you want to the kids and ill believe any line you give, just don't hurt me. same goes for this christine chick.
