On August 28, 1984, Josef called his daughter into the basement of the family's home. He was re-fitting a door to the newly renovated cellar and needed help carrying it. As Elisabeth held the door, Josef fixed it into place. As soon as it was on the hinges, he swung it open, forcing Elisabeth inside and knocking her unconscious with an ether-soaked towel. For the next 24 years, the inside of the dirt-walled cellar would be the only thing Elisabeth Fritzl would see. Her father would lie to her mother and the police, feeding them stories about how she'd run away and joined a cult. Eventually, the police investigation into her whereabouts would run cold. As far as the rest of the Fritz family was concerned, Josef would head down to the basement every morning at 9 AM to draw plans for the machines that he sold.
Occasionally, he would spend the night, but his wife wouldn't worry - her husband was a hard-working man and was thoroughly dedicated to his career. As far as Elisabeth Fritzl was concerned, Josef was a monster. At the minimum, he would visit her in the basement three times a week. Usually, it was every day. For the first two years, he left her alone, keeping her captive. Then, he began when she was just 11 years old. Over the next 24 years, Elisabeth Fritzl would give birth to five more children. One more was allowed to remain in the basement with her, one died shortly after birth, and the other three were taken upstairs to live with Rosemarie and Josef. Josef didn't just bring the children up to live with him, however. In order to conceal what he was doing from Rosemarie, he staged elaborate discoveries of the children, often involving placing them on bushes near the home or on the doorstep.
Each time, the child would be swaddled neatly and accompanied with a note allegedly written by Elisabeth, claiming that she couldn't take care of the baby and was leaving it with her parents for safekeeping. It is not known how long Josef Fritzl intended to keep his daughter captive in his basement. He had gotten away with it for 24 years, and for all the police knew he was going to continue for another 24.
However, in 2008, one of the children in the cellar fell ill. Elisabeth begged her father to allow her 19-year-old daughter Kerstin to get medical attention. She'd fallen rapidly and critically ill and Elisabeth was beside herself.
Grudgingly, Josef agreed to take her to a hospital. He removed Kerstin from the cellar and called an ambulance, claiming that he had when she was just 11 years old.

Grudgingly, Josef agreed to take her to a hospital. He removed Kerstin from the cellar and called an ambulance, claiming that he had a note from Kerstin's mother explaining her condition. For a week, police questioned Kerstin and asked the public for any information on her family. Naturally, no one came forward as there was no family to speak of. The police eventually grew suspicious of Josef and reopened the investigation into Elisabeth Fritzl's disappearance. They began to read the letters that Elisabeth had supposedly been leaving for the Fritzls and began to see inconsistencies in them.
Whether Josef finally felt the pressure or had a change of heart regarding his daughter's captivity, the world may never know, but on April 26, 2008, he released Elisabeth from the cellar for the first time in 24 years. She immediately went to the hospital to see her daughter where hospital staff alerted police to her suspicious arrival. That night, she was taken into custody to be questioned about her daughter's illness and her father's story. After making the police promise she never had to see her father again, Elisabeth Fritzl told the tale of her 24-year imprisonment.
Elisabeth and her two boys viewed the appeals on the television in their cellar. She pleaded with her father to let her out. His powers waning, his ability to keep two families sustained reducing by the day as he aged and his heart grew weaker, he had already begun to hatch a plan as to how he could release his daughter without too many questions being asked. He relented perhaps for the first time ever. He told the hospital the family had appeared on his doorstep, having escaped from their sect. But the doctors and police did not believe his story this time round. At the hospital Elisabeth was whisked into a room away from her father, where police threatened to charge her with child abuse because of the way she had clearly neglected her daughter.
Elisabeth said she had a completely different tale from the one they expected to hear. She would start to tell them only on condition they promised her she would never have to set eyes on her father again.
Fritzl is eligible for release in 2023 after receiving a life sentence but this is unlikely. If he were to be freed, he would have been kept in detention for less time than he held his daughter prisoner. Fritzl changed his last name to Mayrhoff in 2017 to spend the last days of his life to live anonymously Summary:- Fritzi lured his daughter Elisabeth, then 11 years old, into the cellar of the family home in Amstetten in 1984. He locked her up in the cellar for the next 24 years, raped her and fathered seven children with her, one of whom died as an infant in 1996 because Fritzl failed to get him medical help. Three of the children remained in the cellar, while Fritzl took three others upstairs and raised them with his wife. To cover up his second life, Fritzl made up a story that explained both Elisabeth's absence and the fact that he raised some of her children. He told authorities, neighbors and friends that Elisabeth had run away to join a sect. To corroborate this version, he forced her to write a letter asking her family not to try to contact her. He told his wife and neighbors that Elisabeth had abandoned the children. He once even pretended to be Elisabeth in a phone call to his wife Rosemarie. - Fritzl, trained as electrical engineer, had planned the cellar for years, expanding it as his hidden family grew. It had a sliding reinforced concrete door locked by a numeric code, as well as a crude ventilation system.

The movie wasn’t completely accurate on the basement but it was still superrr good

[Imperial]

Y’know most of the time I hear about murder cases and stuff like that I’m like “maybe they deserve a second chance” but this man will NEVER deserve a second chance

[msushmitakalla]

Poor girl i wonder how she stayed in the basement for 24 years

[Shweta_e]

I literally cried while watching this movie 😭😭

[Bubblessss]

He’s an absolute monster, no one should have to go through what she did! That poor girl ❤

[kristimayfield]

He was probably pretty high on the bad people list

[EpicELemnt]

By far the most horrific interesting case in modern history. There are no words to describe what had happened.

[Pixelle.yyummm]

Everything about this makes me feel sick, terrified, and worried,

[Couldyoucallmydog]

This is truly sick. How can a father do this to his daughter. If it were me I wouldn't be able to look at my children like regular people. I hope this man is getting what he deserves in hell

[Magic-knq]

The fact her family had no idea....and did not push enough is disturbing...

[madi.fashion]

The Josef Fritzl case still haunts me other than this one. Here’s the story.

[Flxraaaa_]

We know that Josef will never be sorry for what he did to his poor daughter… I mean, imo, she’s pretty, but the fact she was a sex slave to her own father’s nauseating…

[GrahgrahboomGrahgrah]

The Josef Fritz case is the most disturbing case for me😢

[THECARS]

A very disturbing story and I forgot that the movie was based on a true story. Very frightening and disturbing. The daughter getting sick and taken to the hospital was the way out.

[Lulumukbanggggg]

What kind of father does that... he's a monster..

[akoomadiddydah]

If you wanna watch a movie about it its called girl in the basement
