I don't know how big this story is in America but over in England it was quite big. Josef Fritzl Imprisoned his daugther in a celler for 24 years. He also fathered her 7 children. Three of which he took away from her and raised in his house, he did not do this to spare the children though, he did it because they cried a lot and he feared that somebody might find out about his celler. In public he appeared to be a respectable member of the community, living in Amstetten, Austria with his wife Rosemarie, with whom he had seven grown-up children. He told his wife that the daugther he imprisoned had run off to join a cult and that she left the three children he raised on his doorstep during the night. But DNA tests have confirmed that he had created a second secret family with his captive daugther who from the age of 18 had been locked in the celler and raped repeatedly. One of the children he fathered died shortly after birth and he took the child away and cremated the body. It was only through a small act of mercy was he caught, one of the children had fell ill and he took her to a hospital where she told the doctors and then police about what was happening. Josef Fritzl has confessed to it all and DNA tests have backed the confession. He is waiting in police custody until his sentence at a later date. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7371959.stmwww.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1111698.ece
