What is the Fritzl Case?

In April 2008, Elisabeth Fritzl and two of the three children living with her emerged from their basement prison in Amstetten, Austria. She had spent the last 24 years in a hidden basement compound, locked up by her own father, Josef Fritzl. The cellar space where Elisabeth lived was sealed in by concrete in 2013, although the rest of the building still stands. Elisabeth and her children are living somewhere in Austria and undergoing therapy. Amazingly, Josef only received a prison sentence of 15 years, despite being found guilty of multiple charges, including murder, rape, enslavement, and incest.  Elizabeth gave birth to seven children in the underground cellar and her horrifying plight only came to light when her eldest daughter became ill, was taken to a hospital and she shared her harrowing story with police and medics. Elisabeth and her children are currently living in a private village to avoid media disturbance. The family is reportedly receiving medical therapy and living a normal life
