Josef Fritzl, the name that sends shivers down the spines of those who know his twisted story. The cold-hearted father who imprisoned his own daughter in a cellar for 24 years forced her into incestuous relationships, and brutally abused her.

Elisabeth Fritzl, Josef's daughter, was only 18 when she was taken captive by her own father.

Forced to share a cramped and squalid dungeon with her children, who were also fathered by Josef, Elisabeth lived in constant fear and pain. She suffered physical and psychological abuse, living in a perpetual nightmare under the watchful eye of her tormentor.

Josef's monstrous actions did not stop there. He would regularly visit Elisabeth in her prison, abusing her and impregnating her multiple times. Seven innocent children were born from this horrific ordeal three of whom were allowed to live with Josef and his wife, while the remaining four were kept hidden in the cellar with Elisabeth.
