What Happened To Elisabeth Fritzl?
After Elisabeth turned 18, her father called for help to carry a door to the basement. But she didn’t have any idea that her father is going to arrest her in the basement. The door that they carried is the last piece to seal the basement chamber. Soon after reaching the basement, Josef held an ether-soaked towel on Elisabeth’s face.
After, she felt unconscious; her father threw her into the chamber. Rosemarie registered a complaint at the police station about her daughter’s missing case. While Elisabeth was in captivity, her father forced her to write a letter. Josef used this letter as evidence to show police officials that she ran away wontedly from home.
Almost for 24 years, Elisabeth stayed in the basement chamber. Her father visited her every night and tortured her a lot. He raped her in the basement and thus, she delivered seven children during her captivity. One of the children died soon after birth. Three children named Lisa, Alexander, and Monika were removed from the basement as infants.
But the other three children lived with their mother, Elisabeth inside the chamber. Fritzel even enlarged the size of the prison after the children’s birth. Also, he asked Elisabeth and her children to dig out the soil using bare hands for many years.

After the doctor’s examination, they got that Kerstin is suffering from kidney failure. Josef’s activities looked suspicious and thus, the medical staff informed the police. Thus, police again reopened the case of Elisabeth and they found something suspicious.
