Josef Fritzl was a 73-year-old retired engineer in Austria. He seemed to be living a standard life along with his wife, Rosemarie, and their family-though one daughter, Elisabeth, had decades previously been ‘dropped’ to a religious cult. Through the entire years, three of Elisabeth’s kids mysteriously appeared within the Fritzls’ doorstep; Josef and Rosemarie elevated them as their own. But only Josef knew the truth about Elisabeth’s disappearance .

For twenty-seven years, Josef had imprisoned and molested Elisabeth in his man-made cellar dungeon, complete with soundproof paneling and code-protected electrical locks. There, she would eventually give delivery to a complete of seven of Josef’s children. One passed away in infancy-and the other three were elevated alongside Elisabeth, never to start to see the light of time.
