Dad Of The Year!

Filed under: Wacky, Tacky & True

austriadad.jpg

The international press is abuzz about an Austrian woman (named Elisabeth F. by authorities) who was imprisoned AND raped by HER OWN FATHER (called Josef F.).

This went on for 24 years!!!!!

Wait. It gets more disturbing.

According to reports, the woman gave birth to seven children by her father.

Three of the children, now aged 5, 18 and 19, lived in the dungeon with Elisabeth and had never seen the light of day until the eldest was recently taken to the hospital because of a severe illness.

Police said Josef, an electrical engineering technician by training, had told investigators how to enter the basement dungeon through a small hidden door, operated by a secret code which only he had known.

WTF?????

According to Elisabeth, Josef had lured her into the basement of the block where the family lived in Amstetten, Austria, on August 24th, 1984, and allegedly drugged and handcuffed her before locking her up in the dungeon. A police spokesman said she was "psychologically extremely disturbed", but her version of events was "completely believable".

Elisabeth's disappearance in 1984 was treated as a teenage runaway case.

Elisabeth's mother, Rosemarie, who lived in the family home with her father, supposedly did not know their daughter was being held captive in the home dungeon and sustaining the alleged abuse.

Too crazy!

    And seven kids? With her father? That's gross. It's a miracle that she didn'try to get suicide.

  41. #41 - mel_australia says – reply to this

    Those eyes….he looks like the GRINCH!!!!!!!!

  44. #44 - Flags says – reply to this

    It does seem unbelieveable the wife didn't know, but look at the photos, their house was in an apartment block, he had cut through a wall of the basement and built the dungeon, the little door was behind cupboards. Unless other people moved the cupboards or the ground outside gave way, there was no way to find them. How horrid!

  45. #45 - feb says – reply to this

    As the victim of a molester, trust me, the wife ALWAYS knows and she's in (probably alcoholic) denial.

  48. #48 - Tracy says – reply to this

    Wow- I am so saddened and sickened to hear what this poor woman and her kids went through. I hope the poeple of Austira buy her and her kids a nice retreat an provide for her for the rest of her life. What is she going to do? She will be so out of being able to take care of herself. Please help her! And for those of you who like to bash Americans, please note that this kind of crap happens everywhere. Sickos like this know no nationality.

    What's up with the pervey Austrians and basements??? Check out this scarily similar case from 2005 when Natasha Kampusch escaped from a basement where she'd been held for 8 years: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/5322438.stm
    Sad.

  53. #53 - kzdiver says – reply to this

    Re: allie

    I agree, Allie. This is absolutely horrific, but how did the mother not hear her own daughter give birth to seven crying babies in the basement?

    Bizarre, twisted and sick. I feel so sorry for all those innocent lives that were impacted by this psycho.

  54. #54 - she is a liar says – reply to this

    first of all, i think the WORST mother of the year award goes to the mother in THIS STORY, she should KNO her husband by now, how can she just ACCEPT her daughters ran away when shes living underground not even 100 ft from them??? i think shes lying and this is just a way for her to NOT go to jail. THIS evil being, the DAD, should get eternity in jail…for real…not less than 15 years cus he did burn a body HIMSELF which is also some SICK SHIT. its 2008 AD ppl, its time to release the chains and treat each other with respect, there is NO cruel and unusual crime for this man. he deserves what he gets and MORE

  55. #55 - michi says – reply to this

    I'm not into the revenge as justice idea but this guy showed her and their children no mercy for 24 fucking years!!!

    they should give her and the kids each an electric cattle prod and let them at him for 24 years. I think it would help them psychologically as well.

    you're supposed to be able to trust your father to help you, not to ruin your life for his pleasure.

  56. #56 - the FAMILY NAME says – reply to this

    the man's name is josef fritzl.
    he should literally burn in hell for what he did. REALLY. fuckin twisted fuck nut job.
    this story makes me so freakin angry.

  57. #57 - WTF says – reply to this

    This story has disturbed me all day….much like the ignorant F*^%S that say "FIRST" on a story like this!!!! Be a jerk-off and say first on a celebrity story (which is annoying enough), but when you do it on a story like this….YOU LOOK LIKE A TOTAL ASS*&^*!

  58. #58 - Gretchen says – reply to this

  62. #62 - BAmbambam says – reply to this

    I can't believe the wife of that sick bastard HAD NO IDEA that her own daughter was imprisoned underneath her own fucking house for 24 years along with 3 of her own grandchildren. You don't see your fucking husband carting shitloads of food to your basement???? She is going to burn in hell for looking the other way to such an unspeakable crime and she deserves to rot in prison.

  65. #65 - EuropEll says – reply to this

    Yeah. this is seriously fucked up. I don't get why this kinda thing seems to be happening in Austria, though. And I don't believe the mother: how could you NOT know?

  66. #66 - jen says – reply to this

    omfg…omfg… i hope he fucking dies. that is some fucked up shit.

  67. #67 - tricia k says – reply to this

    i'm pretty sure that rosemarie, the woman who lived upstairs & had no idea about the situation WAS NOT elisabeth's mother.

    according to CNN, rosemarie …"{l lived upstairs with} his wife, Rosemarie, who police said had no idea about her husband's other family living in the cellar. The couple adopted three of the children that Fritzl had with his daughter, according to police. He told his wife that his missing daughter had dropped the unwanted children off at the house because she could not take care of them, police said."

  82. #82 - Ari says – reply to this

    apparently,her father told everyone,that her daughter ran away,because she was in some kind of sect or something, at the german news they say that the father thought she was satanist;whatever,i don't know what to say about the fact that the mother didn't know a thing, it's fishy, anyway, one of elisabeth's kids,was born,and died a month later, and her father burned the body;also in austria there was a similar case,but the girl was rescued after 8 years. this man should be killed,how is this woman,and also the 3 kids who were living with her, how are they going to survive? i mean, i don't even want to imagine they're life, but the important thing is that they're saved now from they're father..

  83. #83 - LK says – reply to this

  87. #87 - mojo says – reply to this

    sounds like Austrians haven't learned any lessons from their silence in the holocaust!!

    He raised 3 of the kids upstairs w/him! Mysteriously, his daughter gets pregnant 3 times and comes home in the middle of the night and drops the kids off and NO ONE IN THAT TOWN ASKS SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS???! Lord knows there are sick fucks everywhere, but it seems Austrians are taking this "mind your own business" thing a little far.

    THAT MUGSHOT COULD BE OF A NAZI GUARD.

  88. #88 - eww says – reply to this

    This is a sad, sad story. I don't know if I believe his wife. I know of at least three women who "pretended" not to see their kids sexually molested by their husbands. How did he build this dungeon without her knowledge?

  92. #92 - SerCan says – reply to this

    Her mother must have known! She gave birth to 7 (SEVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!) children. # lived with them, 3 lived with her in basement(1 of the twins dies). HOW THE FU&* her mom did not know?? Where did those 3 kids come from?? THIS is insane!!! The father and the MOTHER are guilty. They make me sick!!!!!!! He will get 15 years?? If I lived in Austria, I would move away. Fu*& that country! (I lovED Austria)

  96. #96 - Jill says – reply to this

    HOLY FUCK!!! That sick freak will burn in hell, rest assured, and his wife too! Because you simply cannot tell me that she had no idea what was going on in her own home. No fucking way. God, what the hell is wrong with people? I feel so sorry for that poor woman and her children. I hope they get the psychiatric help they desperately need and can lead somewhat happy lives now that their torturer will be rotting in jail.

    depressing
    who do u think read's ur site………………entertain much?

  99. #99 - drhealth says – reply to this

    Disturbing. Rocking the mental health community. More than likely this man suffers from sadistic narcassism/malignant narcassisim. How he can do this and not "feel" bad is because he never formed a real self inside, it was all a false/incomplete self, so he treats others like objects, and their point in life is to provide him with what is called "narcassisitic supply", which is a unending attention (be it negative or positive) that the sadistic narc needs to "survive" (fuel his false self) the situation he put them in is perfect for this, when he would see them they would give him all of their supply to him, he feeds off like a vampire. There is no hope for individuals like this. A not so severe narcassist would take over 20 years in therapy to recover. He probably also is a true sociopath with a dissociative disorder as well. I just wanted to explain my thoughts inititally. As for the children. It is simply to heartbreaking to imagine what their diagnosis are at this time and in the future. This man should be studied (before shot) so that we can build our knowledge of this type of personality disorder and hope to recognize it better in the future. Thats the only hope we can hold on to. May God bless those of us reading this, I know it is causing outrage, old abuse issues and etc.
