EVIL LIVED HERE
WHAT ARE THEY PUTTING IN THE WATER IN AUSTRIA?
WHEN the story broke in May that an Austrian, Josef Fritzl, had been arrested for imprisoning and impregnating his daughter whom he'd kept for 24 years - along with three of their seven offspring - in a dungeon under their family home, it was almost impossible to believe.
It shouldn't have been such a shock. After all, the Mauthausen concentration camp and its 49 "sub-camps" were located in that country, for starters. And in 2007, three girls were rescued from a seven-year imprisonment by their mother in Austria. The year before that, another girl who had been missing for 10 years was found imprisoned in another pervert's home dungeon.
If the Fritzl story intrigues you, and if you've got the stomach for it, on Sunday night, MSNBC presents an hour-long special, "The Longest Night: Secrets of the Austrian Cellar." It fills in many details that have now become available before the monster's upcoming trial.
But make no mistake. What they do have will leave you shocked, disgusted and enraged at both Fritzl-the-fiend, and his clueless wife, who supposedly knew nothing about what was going on. (Hard to believe, since Fritzl had served time for rape, while they were not only married, but had already had four children! )
Correspondent Lester Holt and the Austrian producers who made this documentary didn't get an interview with the daughter, Elizabeth Fritzl. (She remains one of the most sought-after TV interviews in the world.)
But they did get the doctor who first examined one of the daughters/granddaughters when she was rushed to the ER dying of an unknown illness, which was the beginning of the end for the monster.
They also interview the cop who arrested him.
The report answers some of the questions you may be wondering about.
For example, we learn that Fritzl began his years of terror by drugging Elizabeth 24 years earlier, carrying her to the dungeon, and chaining her to the wall where he repeatedly raped her.
During her 24 years in the dungeon, Elizabeth gave birth to seven of her father's children without medical attention. One baby died and Fritzl is accused of incinerating it. The oldest is now 19.
You will learn how they all survived, how Fritzl brought in food and supplies without anyone noticing and what has happened to them since.
It's riveting, but it's also horrifying and not for anyone under the age of consent.
