Dad Of The Year!
Filed under: Wacky, Tacky & True
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.

One word…Death Penalty
SO SICK
HIS WIFE IS A LAIR—AND THEY ARE BOTH SICK
Lower than shit of the earth. He will rot in hell…
i hereby proclaim him the bastard of the month! you fucking die!
String this bastard up by his balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shoot him.
Re: Jen –
the world's crazy these days? way up kid, it started in 1984.
Hang him upside down by his testicles for 24 years - the wrotten sod!
i am from austria and i can definitely not understand that people draw parallels to anything that happend in the 2nd world war, just because this happens in Austria. People here are of course deeply shocked. The whole town of Amstetten (where it happend) is in a terrible shock. The people who knew the family have been crying, coz they feel guilty, that they didnt realize. People shouldnt point the finger at Austria and blame this on a country. These were the horrible deeds of one single deeply disturbed person.
Re: Tristan –
actually, "death penalty" is two words.
anyway, this sick creep deserves to rot in jail for the REST of his life if he isn't clubbed to death first. he truly deserves to suffer as much (or more) than his daughter did. there cannot be any forgiveness at all for what he did to her or her children.
before you claim death penalty, you should get some general education. In austria there is no such thing as death penalty!!!
further I would like to confirm what jasmine from Austria said. not everything needs to be brought in connection with world war 2, just because its from austria!!!
what that man did was horrible and disgusting, but no need to get political over this!!
The mother knows it. Sure!!, she´s so guilty as the nasty and ill "father". A la cárcel hasta que se pudran.
do not blame this on the country. unfortunately sick people are all over the world, not just in Austria.
Austria is a beautiful country with a lot of nice people, not just sickos!!!
well,first of all: i am from austria!!!
its awful what happened in amstetten,especially after the natascha kampusch incident.
BUT i think its fucked up to say: oh yeah, sure, all that happens in nazi austria..WTF??? is that all u can say???u have no idea about this country or europe in general, there have been hundreds of child abuse cases in Belgium, France and Great Britain and i am sure there have been lots of em in america!!! its not about nationality,its about people. and people these days ( no matter where they live) seem to be fucked up….there are wackos everywhere….who knows???how many people around the world are locked up in a dungeon right now????we dont know,and thats the sad thing.we should start to talk to our neighbours again and dont look away.
i personally dont believe that the wife didnt know about that shit.she just didnt want to know.
So im an austrian and im ashamed that such a thing happend in my country.
you think somejhing like this cant happen in an 21 century middle european country with a really high standard in education and living.
one of the leading police officers investigating is a friend of me and he told me that he was really shocked when he entered the dungeon. its unbelievable that someone could live down there for 24 years. the whole thing is hard to realize for everyone here.
im against the death penalty, but i dont know how u should punish someone like this creature that sexually abused his own daugter and imprisoned her.
right now, as unbelievable as it may sound, it looks like the wife really didnt know.
Stupid dickhead, I hope he rots in jail. His actions are unforgivable… fucking douche.
Horrible, horrible story. But still perez you need to check facts! It's not true, that he will only get 15 years - in fact he will be sentenced for 25 years for now - and as he his charged for murder as well (the twin who died) he will be sentenced for life!
I'm from Austria, and I'm completely shocked about this. I could have never have imagined happening this in my country. But I nevertheless love living here.
And you don't know how many ppl over the world share the same fate, than Elisabeth did - but they are still not discovered.
hey!!!
Thats my birthday!!!! and I am angry…cant u pick some other date or fuck someone else???
suddenly americans do know stuff about europe and austria? how can you guys judge a country only by knowing some weird stuff that happens here?
oooooh - it´s so easy for you to bring back things like "holocaust" and "the other girl in the cellar".
just stop to talk about people you don´t know… i am from austria and: surprise, surprise: no one´s in my cellar….
THIS IS NOT NEWS!! THIS HOW WHITE PEOPLE behave..THIS IS WHY WHITE PEOPLE SAY AM MY FATHERS SON OR daughter THEY EVEN HAVE GOT LAST NAMES OVER IN EUROPA EX BOBY STEVESON OR JACKI TOMSDAUGHTER
AND ALL OF YOU ARE barely YOU FATHERS DAUGHTER AND SONS. I HATE WHITE PEOPLE THEY ARE DISGUSTING THEY BELONG WHITE THE DONKEYS THEY CAN LIFE Civilized. IF THEY ARE NOT RAPING THERE DAUTHERS AND SONS THEY THEY ARE KILLING each other,
if your are white person save you self from being raped or killed be our own family vote Obama 08
peace
I'm Austrian too, and I have to defend my country. This is an awful sad and disgusting story. But to call us Nazis and and Hitlers and whatever is not correct in so many ways. Sick people are all over the world. What about this American sect, where children were abused by their fathers, had children with their uncles? Or in Great Britan where orphans were abused and murdered over years? Or Marc detroux in Belgium.
Sick people live everywhere all over the world - so don't point your fingers at all Austrians and call them sick and Nazis. That's really offending. And I just Think it's everywhere the same people just don't want to see and close their eyes.
Torture him!
Re: y – that's not true: in austria it can be up to 25 years
???
what has this case to do with austrias nazi past???
???
why does people from other countries blame us austrians for things (2nd world war) that happened before we were born, before our parents were born???
???
this is PROPERLY sick. i cant believe pple that behave like this is allowed to walk the streets everyday as if nothing has happenned!! HOW CRUEL!!
should SO be chained up in a psych ward.
Deeply fucking tragic. Those kids will never be normal, no matter how much help they receive.
I'm planning to do that to Perez. I'm gonna bang him hard & have his babies. Honest. On 4th July.
im a lesbian ohh i luv girls
Its strikes me how so many people refer to this case as 'crazy', 'bananas', 'weird' or 'kinda gross' These words seem to be a little flippant and hollow when compared to the seriousness of this crime. 8 people have been damaged beyond comprehension during those years. Try a delve into your hearts and vocabulary people
Infact, that guy's right. this story doesn't belong on this website.
According to Austrian Law - he will only get 15 years in Prison for this.
Holy Crap!!!!
This guy is a sick fu@@, castrate him and let him bleed to death.
the wife didnt know, my asshole… they always try to say that- I didnt know!!!! what the fuck ever. parents that care about their children do not just "accept" that they have run away and randomly leaves unwanted children on their fucking doorstep without ever showing their face?? if this woman never asked any questions then she should be locked up to. no debate necessary.
omg this has to be made into a movie. it's so shocking!
Menudo hijo de puta, y a este que se le hace? carcel?, psiquiatrico? matarlo? no hay castigo suficiente, ya es un puto viejo sádico.
why does such a tragedy has to be made into a movie mashed potatoe?????
are you out of your mind??
that's so american, something bad happens, let's make a movie out of it!
I also think that this topic should not be handled on a gossip page like this!
y'all are some sick devils. He looks like satan.
I personally do not believe for a moment that the mother of this woman did not know that something was going on in her home. How did they wash their clothing, he had to bring in clothing and food, can anyone say that NOT EVEN ONCE did she not notice him bringing in bags or find receipts in his clothing? Nobody can be that perfect as to NEVER EVEN SLIP UP ONCE. Never heard the flow of water from flushing the toilet or a draining a bathtub? I don't care how "soundproof" this cellar was, you can still hear water flowing through pipes unexplicably. Growing up, we had a very large basement, you can hear things going on under your house. As a nurse, the screams of women giving birth, even with an epidural, are the loudest screams that I have ever heard. Nope, not for a moment do I believe that not one member of their household did not suspect that something odd was going on in that cellar.
Perez -
THis you take too lightly. This is not "Too Crazy," this is horribly repulsive, vile and unimaginable. You refer to him as the "creepy dude" when really this man is the devil personified. Think about what we are talking about here - he drugged his daughter, kept her prisoner for 24 years, repeatedly raped her, and then kept the spawn locked up as well. There are no civilized punishments to truly give this man what he deserves.
I have just seen you get so much more upset over less heinous things, and I wanted to see you freaking out…
i live in an apartment house very similar to theirs. i honestly wouldn't know if someone was being kept in the cellars, especially if the rooms were soundproofed and the walls were meters thick (as they were in this case). in these houses the cellars have separate entrances and there are several flats above them. you wouldn't see someone entering the cellar at all.
could anyone of you guarantee that there isn't someone in the house next to you whom unspeakable things are happening to? i couldn't.
that poor woman and her 3 children would have died and nobody would have known if the father/grandfather would have gotten sick or died. it's scary to think of how many other people could be in the same situation all over the world with noone to help them. these cases show up from time to time.
P.S. babies don't come from the cabbage patch, they have to be assisted through the birthing process, or do you think that she instinctively knew from age 10 on how to cut a cord, care for a newborn, how to handle medical emergencies? *methinks grandma acted as a midwife*
This is absolutely sickening. I feel physically sick just reading this article. How can someone do that to anyone, let alone their own daughter??? He deserves to rot in jail, and he better.
What is wrong with the world?!?!?
I come from austria and I am so sad, the whole school was in shock yesterday when we heard about it! Here we have no death penalty so he will probably just go to prison and nothing will happen. Cut his balls off and burn his dick, I am so against death penalty usually but people like that are not worthy
p.s. if I was his wife, I'd ask two questions during this 24 year period:
1. why can't I get in my own damn cellar???
2.Why does my husband go in the cellar all the time and wtf is he doing down there?!?!?
dipshit. if my daughter ran away and said not to look for her, I wouldn't be like o okay well whatever you want. friggin dumbass
his wife had to know…she must be demented
HEY #34 YOU ARE FUCKING HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: allie – No Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exactly what I thought!!!!!!!!!!!She HAD TO OF KNOWN.
on sky news: :: "The children currently in intensive care are in a critical condition and are being kept alive "artificially".
children in intensive care? I thought it was one child that became ill. was this some sort of 'jim jones' episode?
also: "Police are trying to work out the acoustics of the cellar and whether any of the residents near the house could have heard banging or the like."
hm.
also, does anyone think that it is a possibility that they are just saying the grandmother didn't know anything as a ploy to gain further information?
Re: allie – Yea I read yesterday that 3 of the kids lived with them so umm where the hell did she think the kids were coming from?
*cough*SURICRUISE'SFUTURE*cough*
How could any parent do this to their child. He deserves to die in pain. sickooooooooooooooooo
the title of this post is so inappropriate Perez. Sometimes you can be low, but making fun of something so sick and horrific is out of order.
What the fuck! I so can not believe this.
And how can the wife not know that her child was locked up! I mean, woah. So all this time she thought she was dead?
THIS. IS. UNBELIEVABLE.
Sick Sick sick white people! Nasty!! The mom didn't know ANYTHING? She didn't notice him going down their a lot? She never went down there? She didn't hear screams when the woman gave birth to 7 fucking kids? She didn't' hear people down there? Why would you want to sex your daughter? HOW FUCKINGLY SICK AND DISGUSTING A PERSON CAN YOU BE? YOUR OWN DAUGHTER?
Re: blah – I agree, selfish people
I saw that on the news yesterday, and I think that's absolutely disturbing and that man should have a very slow, extremely painful death! Poor children and poor woman, how are they gonna move on with their lives now?
this is soooooo terribly sick and those poor children especially his daughter…how could he do this to his own daughter? those poor little kids never saw the sunlight and received education and medical treatment. i hope now they will live in a better condition but it would already be so traumatic for them.
i am deeply sadden. this man is so soo horribly cruel. this man is a living SATAN.
fucked..just seriously fucked.
OMG that is soo sad. I can't believe that this stuff happens, people are fucking sick.
Why did this crazy ass raise some of the kids/grandkids and leave three in the dungeon? So some of them had a semblance of a normal life, and the others were slaves too? i just dont get it….
JUST CUT OFF THE DUDE'S DICK AND THROW HIM IN A DUNGEON
I was in tears reading this article. Imagine a 3 year old child, like my daughter, who chases butterflies and frogs in the yard, in the sunshine, trapped in there their whole lives- tragic, heartwrenching, agonizing, unbelieveable, my God, where is God? I hope this demon burns at the stake, branded, stoned, sliced with razor blades, and spends all of eternity in hell.
This is one of the sickest stories I have ever heard! Imagine if the guy died and the daughter and her children were left there to starve to death. I just don't know how people can be so sick in the head. Very distrubing
i heard this story ydai man i was so fukin pissed this guy is some wasted fuker i mean y fuck ur own daughter and seven kids yuckkkkk so sick and so disturbing
and the one thing that keeps on bugging me is that the wife didnt know
how the fuck did she not know didnt she see her husband giving food or water hez such a sick bastrd and 15yr is not enough i would want him to have a long painful death and his fukin wife
hope the kids and woman have a good life
so sad
How about this? Devise many, many different types of torture for this man. Make sure that he gets the best of medical care following each course of torture, so he can have more, more more!. When it looks like he can't take much more, bury him in a coffin ALIVE. Be sure to tell him in advance what a fun time he will have screaming his head off while in his coffin,waiting to die!
This is so FUCKING DISGUSTING. I don't understand what is happening in the world right now. Stories such as this should NOT be sensationalized by the media. I tseems that people are now so cavalier about celebrity that stories like this are now regarded as the only thing left that shocks.
"…Elisabeth's disappearance in 1984 was treated as a teenage runaway case…"
—–
More PRECISELY: Her scum-dad had told authorities that his daughter was member of a CULT (she was 18 years old in 1984) and that the 3 babies which he said he and his wide "found" in front of their house door were children of his daughter who didn t want to or could not have them living with the CULT (he forced his misused daughter to write corresponding letters which he said lay beside the babies found)
People should read the whole story before psoting.
They were locked in a basement under the garage, which was at the back of the garden. In this household, it seems like he was most definately the man of the house, and so i would assume the wife was very submissive. She probabaly never questioned him when he left the house to go outside. She didn't ask questions.
Yeah he also threw his 3 day old deceased son into the fire. Disgusting.
@ Lici,
in 99 % of the WORLD there is NO death penalty! Among them Austria.
Only America still has it (and the HIGHEST crime rate worldwide I guess) and is in line with China, Iran, and such sort of morally less developped countries…
I personally am 100 per cent AGAINST death penalty, but contrary to what "life sentence" means in Europe, it SHOULD mean locked away for GOOD! (in Germany, e.g. almost EVERY murderer gets released after having served two-thirds of his sentence. So we actually do NOT have even "lifetime imprisonment" in most cases, which i think is not okay for crimes like that. It should mean locked away for life! During the past few years, especially in the case of murders where sexual perversion of the criminal has been established by psychiatrists
they are put away in lunatic asylums AFTER having servesd their sentence and are NOT freed after 2/3 has elapsed.
He can get maximum 15 years in jail (and should he "survive" these 15 years most probably preventive detention ("Sicherheitsverwahrung = This is a form of detention intended to protect the general public from dangerous individuals and habitual offenders"
@Anna: No, from what I saw on TV, he ll get maximum 15 years UNLESS the one ill baby that died and that he burnt afterwards would have SURVIVED/LIVED had he sought help, i.e. that they can proof(!) that it was MURDER = "Mord durch Unterlassung")! Then he would get 25 years (which in his case considering his age would be the same as lifetime sentence anyway , I guess.
I personally think they ll send him to an asylum where he can live happily ecer after whereas OTHER poor Austrian retirement pensioners can hardly survice financially on their small pensions…

Horrible, horrible story. But still perez you need to check facts! It's not true, that he will only get 15 years - in fact he will be sentenced for 25 years for now - and as he his charged for murder as well (the twin who died) he will be sentenced for life!
OMFG….disgusting! He should be burned alive, fucking sick bastard! So what, did his "kids" (prisoners) live like 'The People Under the Stairs'? That movie was fucking creepy and this is like 10x worse, not to mention REA LIFE. UGH…truly sick shit! God bless those poor kids….
This is truly the most horrible story I have ever, ever ever read. It is terrible that he will only get 15 years in prison. I know he's old but that's not the point. That poor daughter and all those poor children. I can't believe how devious he was and how only in retropect did one of the neighbours realise WHY they bought so many groceries (ie. bought them home in a wheelbarrow!) It is very, very hard to think his wife was totally unaware. BEWARE OF NORMAL LOOKING PEOPLE IN SWEET SUBURBAN HOMES!!
very very sick…he stole his daughter's life as well as his grandkids'…disturbing..there are just no words..he will rot in hell
I think that this might just be the most disturbing and sad thing i have ever heard. this man needs to seriously suffer for what he has done to those poor people. and the poor victims need to be seriously pampered and taken care of to try and give them back whatever kind of normal life they possibly can have. this is so sad. unbelievable.
@ #191:
They are said to be HOTTER than the German prisons… only thing ios I hope he will actually GET to prison (and not a psychiatric hospital, e.g.) and hopefully he does NOT get an individual prison cell all to himself…
I, by the way, find it also a little bit strange that his wife should never have at least "suspected" something weird is going on. I mean, if MY hushand would tell me to never ever go into the cellar, simpyl out of normal CURIOUSITY I woul dduring the 24 years have done exactly THAT! (although obviously the dungeon was built in such a way that probably she would not have be able to DETECT anything unnormal in the cellar…..(door e.g. was hidden behind a built-in shelf, soundproof, a.s.o….
What also disturbs me, actually what disturbs me MOST is that the Austrian police and youth authorities never ever closely CHECKED the house after THREE(!!) alleged foundlings were reported to them…..I mean, ONE foundling, ok, TWO maybe even as well okay, but THREE???
#191 - … says – reply to this
What the HELL is wrong with the world??
Juanita,
it says in the German papers that he NEVER baught groceries and clothes in Amstetten, where he lived, but only in other towns/villages where no one knew him…
no he will be taken to prison for like 30 years, and i mean he's about 70 years old, so he will be in prison his whole life.. omg he's really sickkkk
Josef is sub-human. He told the police that he had no regrets!?!?! He is without a doubt a psycopath. Its just unbelievable that the police did not ask questions long, long ago. Truly tragic.
There is no punishment that could ever fit this crime.
Monsters do exist.
I can't believe that never once, the mother was like, where is the food going? who are you bringing clothes/diapers/whatever to? She never went into their dungeon in 24 yrs?? That makes no sense whatsoever.
==============He needs to burn in h*ll.
Re: free2rhyme –
You are seriously like the biggest douchebag to ever comment

Re: y – I know they should hang him by his balls for 24 years minimum.
http://video.news.sky.com/skynews/video/?&videoSourceID=1314194
girlhood friend of the woman
I am praying for the poor Daughter & the children she has brought in this world from this sicko! They should hang him from his BALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!
as if this story weren't disturbing enough:
Patients were unconscious and needed intensive care. They were taken to the A&E department.
:: People in the cellar are in a bad condition.
:: Elisabeth has a serious health condition.
:: Case is tragic as one of Elisabeth's children died.
:: Eldest daughter has big problems mentally and physically.
:: Five years have passed since last child was born.
:: Daughter now has serious condition, her health has deteriorated
Death would be an easy out for this sick fuck, he needs to be tourture on a daily basis to the brink of death and brought back just to tourture him again.
Re: k-nasty – That's because he's a typical ignorant BLACK person. They deserve each other.
Fucking pathetic loser.
I read that he burned the twin in the oven after it had died! He did such horrible things! HE IS NOT THE GRINCH; the grinch ACTUALLY had a heart in there; not some cold empty pit
Re: blah – i was thinking the same exact thing. how sad.
Re: Robyn – i totally agree with you!!!! i mean jesus, 5 people can use a lot of water, eat a lot of food and generate a lot of garbage. Seems like he'd be at austria's version of costco every week! HOW DIDN"T ANYONE KNOW??!!??
