" VIENNA, Austria - Police have found a woman missing since 1984, who told authorities that her father had kept her in a cellar for almost 24 years and that she had given birth to at least six children after being repeatedly raped by him. ADVERTISEMENT The 73-year-old father was taken into custody, said Franz Polzer, head of the Lower Austrian Bureau of Criminal Affairs, on Sunday. Authorities found the woman Saturday evening in the town of Amstetten following a tip, Lower Austria police said in a statement. The 42-year-old woman told police that her father began sexually abusing her when she was 11 and locked her in a room in the cellar on Aug. 28, 1984. During the 24 years that followed, she said she was continually abused and gave birth to six children, the statement said. She said she gave birth to twins in 1996 but one died several days later; police said they were investigating. Police said in the statement the woman appeared "greatly disturbed" psychologically during questioning. She agreed to talk only after authorities assured her that she would no longer have to have contact with her father and that her children would be taken care of. DNA tests are expected to determine whether the man is the father of the six surviving children, according to police. Police said three of the children were registered with authorities and lived with the grandparents. The other three children were apparently held captive in the cellar with their mother, Polzer told reporters in broadcast remarks. The Austria Press Agency said the three boys and three girls range in age from 5 and 20. One of the children, a 19-year-old woman, was being hospitalized in very serious condition, according to Austrian broadcaster ORF. Sunday's developments recalled another case that shocked Austrians in the summer of 2006, when a young woman escaped after being largely confined to a tiny underground dungeon in a quiet Vienna suburb for more than eight years. Natascha Kampusch was 10 years old when she was kidnapped in Vienna on her way to school in March 1998. Her abductor, Wolfgang Priklopil, threw himself in front of a train just hours after her dramatic escape."

" She said her father began sexually abusing her at age 11. On August 8, 1984 -- weeks before she was reported missing -- her father enticed her into the basement where he drugged her, put her in handcuffs, and locked her in a room, she told police. For the next 24 years, she was constantly raped by her father resulting in the six surviving children, she said, according to the police statement. She told police she gave birth to twins in 1996, but one of the babies died a few days later as a result of neglect, and Josef F. removed the infant's body and burned it. She told police that only her father supplied her and her children with food and clothing, and that she did not think his wife knew anything about their situation. When Kerstin fell ill earlier this month, Josef F. apparently told his wife and the hospital that his "missing" daughter had dropped off the sick girl on his doorstep. In an effort to find out what might be ailing 19-year-old Kerstin, the hospital asked the media to put out a bulletin requesting any information about the girl or her missing mother, attorney general Gerhard Sedlacek told NTV. Sometime later, Josef F. brought Elisabeth F. out of the cellar, telling his wife that she had returned home with her two children after a 24-year absence, police said. He took Elisabeth F. to the hospital to talk with doctors about Kerstin's condition, and at that point, authorities became aware of her situation, Sedlacek said."

gives the details on how she got let out

so...

will the kids want to go back to the cave or live in normal society?

4/27/2008 4:32:46 PM

well, i think i read that there was a 5 year old son in the basement, along with a 19 year old son....they might have mental issues due to the incest.

If I had kids I would make them watch this on the news and threaten them with it for years.

Pops to XSMP for posting the Morgan Freeman picture.

4/27/2008 6:27:27 PM

Wouldn't Bob Hoskins be more appropriate, for his role in "Unleashed"

4/27/2008 6:30:01 PM

the article on cnn.com states that the father "faces arrest"

that means he hasnt been locked up yet

or somthin

4/27/2008 6:35:49 PM

So if the father was keeping 3 of the kids in the house, where did his wife think they came from? I mean it's not like you can plant and grow kids, and if his wife wasn't the one who gave birth to them, wouldn't she have been like "where in the fuck did these kids come from?"

4/27/2008 6:58:15 PM

6 births, one of which was twins... and NO EPIDERALS?! Poor woman!

4/27/2008 7:05:43 PM

4/27/2008 8:09:58 PM

4/27/2008 8:10:48 PM

24 years... i would have come up with everything possible to get out of there

i guess she got brainwashed after awhile but holy jesus, poor people. no human contact, no interaction

she was 11? and this started in 1984--- can you imagine that being the last thing you knew for sure then coming out into the world today

4/27/2008 8:16:37 PM

4/27/2008 9:38:04 PM

^^^^

um ok

let me more specific

more QUALITY human contact

sorry but your rapist and three children who have never seen the light of day hardly count for human contact, but if you want me to be more specific i hope the word quality does it for you

I'm glad someone is catching on

4/27/2008 11:49:32 PM

i doubt she had the capacity to think about killing herself at the age of 11. when she had her first i kid i think that eliminated her thinking about killing herself. Stockholm syndrome plus it being her dad, girl didn't have a chance.


stories like this help to not make me sad that humans are rushing to extinction

4/28/2008 12:21:27 AM

sorry i am unable to understand jokes that aren't funny
