Josef Fritzl

This breaks my heart to pieces and I do not believe his wife didn't know what was happening all those years. If that's true she's a woman that truly walks around with her eyes wide shut.

I completely agree. That man is sick and should be hung from places that I will not mention. Needs to have a little quick surgery done. The mother needs to have her ass jacked and be charged with some of the same offenses IMHO.

How many years was that little girl/now woman held as a hostage by her own father? How many kids did he father with her? Ooohhh, as you can see, this kind of thing really toasts my butt. Sorry

I remember reading about this! Seriously, how blind was that woman? How can you have a houseful of children that you can't hear and don't know about? I call BS on that. She had to know.

I would like to show him some rope tricks I know.

It does seem suspicious, yet I think it is possible that she didn't know. Supposedly no one but the husband was allowed in the "dungeon." However, from reading the Wikipedia article, it seems that she probably did know about the earlier abuse (from the time the daughter was 11). Sick, all of it.

This whole business is ghastly. I don't see how she couldn't know. At the same time, I have free reign through my whole house. If my husband told me that a certain room or door was off-limits I know that as soon as he left the house I would sneak a peek, aside from the fact that I just wouldn't accept being told that I had no admittance to an area in my own home. But I don't know, maybe she blindly obeyed him? Maybe she comes from a culture or an age where your don't question what your husband says?

Or, maybe she did know that her daughter was down there. Maybe she knew part of the story, but not all of it? Part of me wants her to be innocent so that the daughter will at least have a mother to turn to.

I am in total agreement. A few of us were just talking about this in the "Things That Go Bump In The Night" social group. My heart goes out to the daughter and those kids. I don't even know how a person would begin to start recovering after something so evil and nasty has happened to them over and over again their entire life. And those poor kids. What must they think?
They'll need years and years of therapy and counceling all because this one man was such a sicko, and his wife looked the other way. Very, very sad.

Yeh this is a shocking story and i also find it hard to believe the mother didn't know anything at all.
Apparently the public story regarding her disappearance centered around the girl running away with a religious cult to escape her controlling father. Yet we are expected to believe that the mother didn't question why during this 24years absence the daughter would return to leave her children on this couple's doorstep.
Surely all the building work Fritzl did to create his dungeon would have raised a few suspicions also..what kind of wife would not be tempted to even take him down a cup of coffee whilst he was building? Implausible IMHO.

What i find even more shocking is that not only is there a lawyer willing to defend him but he also claims he is a loving father as part of his defence..apparently the fact he didn't kill the children is testament to this. Unbelieveable.
