Officials said that Fritzl "very plausibly" explained how three of his infant grandchildren had appeared on his doorstep. One child died shortly after birth, and three-Lisa, Monika, and Alexander-were removed from the chamber as infants to live with Fritzl and his wife, who were approved by local social services authorities as their foster parents. Elisabeth gave birth to seven children during her captivity. Over the next 24 years, Fritzl visited Elisabeth in the hidden chamber almost every day, or a minimum of three times a week, bringing food and other supplies, and repeatedly raping her. Fritzl told police that she had most likely joined a cult. The letter, postmarked Braunau, stated that she was tired of living with her family and was staying with a friend she warned her parents not to look for her or she would leave the country. Almost a month later, Fritzl handed over a letter to the police, the first of several that he had forced Elisabeth to write while she was in captivity. Īfter Elisabeth's disappearance, Rosemarie filed a missing persons report. After Elisabeth held the door in place while Fritzl fitted it into the frame, he held an ether-soaked towel on her face until she was unconscious, then threw her into the chamber. In reality, Fritzl had been converting the basement into a makeshift prison chamber the door was the last thing he needed to seal it. On 28 August 1984, after Elisabeth turned 18, Fritzl lured her into the basement of the family home, saying that he needed help carrying a door. She rejoined her waitress course, finished it in mid-1984, and was offered a job in nearby Linz. She was found by police within three weeks and returned to her parents in Amstetten. In January 1983 she ran away from home and went into hiding in Vienna with a friend from work. Īfter completing compulsory education at age 15, Elisabeth started a course to become a waitress.
Fritzl reportedly began sexually abusing Elisabeth in 1977, when she was aged 11. In 1956, at age 21, he married 17-year-old Rosemarie (born September 23, 1939), with whom he had three sons and four daughters, including Elisabeth, who was born on 6 April 1966. Josef Fritzl was born on 9 April 1935, in Amstetten, Lower Austria.
