Josef Fritzl's Parents Born in 1935 to a Jakob Fritzl, a no-good scoundrel, philander, and a petty swindler. The father left the mother when Josef was four The mother raised him, often spanking him, and the relationship was questionable. 1 Suspicions The Mother Molested Him I was her husband, in some way, I was the only man in the house. He admitted they both desired to taste the 'Forbidden Fruit', but his mother was a decent woman. Josef 'claims' there was no sex involved. 5 Fritzl Marries In 1956, at the age of 21, he married Rosemarie, with whom he had seven children: two sons and five daughters, including Elisabeth, who was born in 1966. Fritzl Has A Family Josef had five children by his wife Rosemary. The First Murder Was In 1966 Officers now suspect that Fritzl, who was 30 years-old at the time, murdered Anna Neumayr. She was a 17-year-old girl who was found dead in a corn field near her home in Pfaffstaett bei Mattinghofen in Lower Austria in 1966. Fritzl First Caught When He Was 33 Years Old Fritzl's first recorded arrest as a criminal sex offender was in 1967. His criminal record was eventually expunged and not known to Social Service authorities in later years when he applied for the adoption of children born by Elisabeth. Fritzl In Prison His record includes a conviction for raping a young woman in the city of Linz, a crime for which he served an 18-month sentence in prison, another attempted rape and an arrest for indecent exposure to a child. These are just the ones he was caught at. He Owned A Hostel In 1972, he purchased a guesthouse and an adjacent campsite at Lake Mondsee, which he ran, together with his wife, for years. His Hostel Catered To Israelis Later, he moved into the real estate business and owned several properties which he rented out. He was running a Hostel. They interviewed people in it. All were from Israel, or had Jewish names. Arrested For Arson A fire in 1982 damaged the house badly, and Fritzl was suspected for setting the fire in order to defraud his insurance company, but he was not convicted despite investigators believing firmly it was a case of arson. Martina Posch In 1986, the body of 17-year-old Martina Posch was discovered at Lake Mondsee, where Fritzl owned a guesthouse and a campsite. She was believed to have been raped. . Josef Fritzel Molests His Daughter Josef starts molesting her at 11 years-old. In January 1983, Elisabeth ran away from home. She was found by the police and returned to her parents. On August 24th, 1984, Fritzl lured her into the cellar of the family home by asking her to help him carry a door into the basement. It was then that he is alleged to have drugged and handcuffed her. Elisabeth stated that she was initially handcuffed to a column and left alone for two days. Afterwards, she was later attached to a leash so that she was able to go to the bathroom. 24 Years In The Cellar Fritzl apparently visited her roughly once every three days to bring food and other supplies, and to rape her, in later years presumably in the presence of her daughter. She was to give birth to seven children during her 24 years in captivity. Three Babies Are Brought Out Of The Cellar Three babies, out of the seven, are brought up from the cellar and adopted by Josef and Rosemarie Fritzl. There Were Dozens Of Tenants Sepp Leitner, a flashy Jewish man, lived for four years in a ground floor flat above the cellar in the 1990s. He states that he was not an accomplice. One Of His Tenants Mr Dubanovsky, rented a room in the Fritzl house for 12 years. He has admitted he saw other people going into the dungeon. Thailand In The 1990s He took numerous vacations to Thailand a famous sex destination. He Had A Passion For Hookers He often went to Austrian brothels, but even the prostitutes found him strange. Police Suspect An Accomplice He often traveled with other men. They would go to Thailand for kiddie sex, and possible a snuff adventure. He Abuses His Granddaughter Josef tired of the 42 year-old Elizabeth, and turned his affections to the then 12 year-old Kristen. The Granddaughter Overdoses In 2008, Josef feeds his grand daughter, Kristen, some ecstasy. She goes into convulsions. His daughter, the wife or a tenant rush the girl to a hospital. She was in a coma so they felt safe. The Doctors found a note in Kerstin's pocket saying she was from the town of Kematen. Fritzl At The Hospital He told the police the granddaughter was from another town of Kematen, and she was only visiting. He produced a letter postmarked in the city of Kematen, in order to give the police a false lead. Police Arrive, And Josef Is Arrested On April 2008 The local police arrive and are supposedly shocked. Austria's Top Cop Franz Polzer, head of the Lower Austrian Bureau of Criminal Affairs, speaks during a press conference in Zeilern near Doctors Claim They Are Confused Berthold Kepplinger, the doctor in charge, can't determine what caused the granddaughter's coma. His Million-Dollar Lawyer Who retained one of Austria's most expensive lawyer? The Wife Denies Everything The dungeon was in her basement but she says she knows nothing. The Children Are In Seclusion Josef's kids are in isolation at the Amstetten Hospital.

This Case Could Be Historic If this case was ever really investigated, there would be an explosive rise in anti-Semitism. This creature not only raped his daughter in his dungeon, but he also was a serial killer. It is a safe bet he molested all his daughters. In the videos available, you see he had more than just a few friends. The whole investigation is a little too hush-hush. The town of Amstetten is a small village of 21,000, but no one saw anything? To believe the wife didn't know is absurd. Judicial.inc
