Daughter and Three Kids See Light of Day

Three children and a daughter, that was rapped and imprisoned, by 73-year-old Josef Fritzl were freed after being in a cellar for 24 years. The mother remembered how the outside looked but the other three children never saw the light of day. Fritzl kept the secret by telling everyone that his daughter, Elisabeth, ran away. The three children were Kerstin, 19; Stefan, 18; and Felix, 5. The prison in which they four were held was soundproof and ran underneath the house and part of the garden. The entrance was hidden by cupboards in the basement. The four were revealed when Kerstin was taken to the hospital after falling and the mother hid a SOS note on her. Elisabeth told the police that Fritzl started to abuse her sexually at the age of 11. She also said that they had twin babies but one died a few days later due to neglect. Fritzl took the babies body and burned it in the oven. Fritzl took Elisabeth out of the cellar to tell the doctors about the daughters situation. Elisabeth was told by Fritzl to say she had just returned home after 24 years. This is the worst story I have ever heard. I can not even imagine being trapped in a cellar for 24 years. Crazy to think that stuff like this happens around the world and there are people like Fritzl out there that still have no been caught. This is a very sad story and I hope that nothing like this happens ever again.
