Joseph Fritz.
He held a girl in the basement for 24 years, during which time she was subjected to more than 3000 violations and given seven children.
But the sickest thing is that the imprisoned girl is his own daughter.
Missing
28 August 1984, city of Amsterdam, Austria.
Elisabeth Fritzl, who has just reached the age of 18, is preparing a professional examination.
This morning, a man suddenly found Elizabeth and asked her for help.
The man said that a door he had purchased for the basement could not fit into the frame and needed Elizabeth to lift it.
Elizabeth has always been enthusiastic and has promised her help without hesitation.
However, just as the two men had done their job, a hand with a towel came out of the back of Elizabeth.
Elizabeth couldn’t come out in time to shout, just intuitively inhaled and passed out.
18-year-old Elizabeth Fritz.
When she woke up, the curtains were empty and dark.
Elizabeth stings.
Is she being kidnapped?
Is that the man?
Impossible! Maybe the kidnappers got him trapped!
Elizabeth looked around the room, the door was closed, there were no windows and the surrounding wall was painted white.
The house is about 30 square metres, with a bed, a sink, a refrigerator, and a heating board that can cook.
Elizabeth took a deep breath, and immediately smelled a bad smell, which made you sick.
Just as she was afraid, there was a “creaking” in the corner.
There are rats!
Elizabeth was afraid to scream out loud.
When she tried to run away from the mouse, she was dragged back by a huge force and fell into a small bed.
It was then that she discovered that her arms were tied by a chain and tied to her bed leg.
No doubt she was imprisoned.
Moreover, this is clearly a well-prepared “prison”.
Hello!
Elizabeth screamed like crazy.
There’s no one in the empty shed except the sound of rats.
It was only then that Elizabeth became aware that it must be hidden and that no one could hear her screams.
Elizabeth’s parents didn’t realize their daughter was missing until the next day (29 August) and called the police.
Mr. and Mrs. Fritz.
Elizabeth’s father, Joseph Fritz, is a respected man there.
He is an engineer and a white-handed real estate businessman, not only with several properties but also with a camp.
Joseph is the backbone of the family.
The wife, Rosemary Fritz, in addition to being a housewife, also runs the camping business for her husband.
During the course of the investigation, the police found that Elizabeth ‘ s disappearance was very strange.
She disappeared as if she had taken neither the money nor any identity documents.
Therefore, the police consider it likely to be a kidnapping.
But who is the kidnapper?
Why didn’t you contact the Fritzs for money?
The police then asked the Fritz couple whether there were any enemies in their home or those who had problems with their daughters.
As soon as Father Joseph heard that, he started to sigh.
“She left home when she was 15. And my wife Rosemary called the police. I’m sorry.
“None of her so-called friends is a good thing, and I think they have drug addicts, and they’ve dragged my daughter into some kind of church and worshiped Satan! I’m sorry.
When Joseph said so, the police immediately searched the records.
Joseph is telling the truth.
Elizabeth Fritz ran away from home at the age of 15 and was returned from Vienna three weeks later by the police.
It’s a girl with a history of running away.
The police looked at the records in their hands, and the number of children leaving their homes every day in Austria was unknown.
Besides, Elizabeth is an adult.
As a result, the police persuaded the Fritzs to return and the kidnappers would have called home if the kidnapping had really occurred.
Elizabeth the Teenage.
Elizabeth at this point had no idea what was going on out there.
A man came to the cell a few hours after being imprisoned.
When the door was opened, Elizabeth stood up.
But when the last door was opened, Elizabeth saw each other’s face, the man she helped, desperate to keep her asking each other:
“How could it be you? Why are you doing this to me? I’m sorry.
But she didn’t say a word and dragged Elizabeth to her side with the chain.
Then she was violated.
Listen to Elizabeth’s screams, man’s face is so excited.
For him, that feeling is absolutely overwhelming.
It was on that very day that the man came every day and attacked her and then took his pants off.
And he never talks to Elizabeth.
No matter how poor girl begs, he doesn’t talk.
But Elizabeth would fight him for a beating.
The grieving Elizabeth cried all day long.
Finally one day, the man spoke.
He brought a pen and paper to Elizabeth, and he said to her, “Do as I say, write it down. I’m sorry.
September 21st, Elizabeth’s front door, a letter appeared.
Running away?
Mother Rosemary, after receiving the letter, did not hesitate to call the police again.
The police came to gather evidence.
When they arrived, Elizabeth’s father Joseph was squeezing the letter and groaning.
In the letter, Elizabeth wrote that she was with a friend and that her parents would not try to find her, or she would go “where you’ll never find.”
Rosemary sheds tears while she talks about disappointment with her daughter.
The father, Joseph, had been shaking his head for his daughter ‘ s behaviour, and he failed to understand why the daughter had done such a strange thing.
On that day, Joseph wanted to be in his own home yard with the BBQ, so that he could be generous to his wife.
But the letter appeared suddenly, leaving the couple no longer interested.
A few days later, Joseph told his wife that he was sad and disappointed at the departure of his daughter.
But every day I think about it, it’s just too painful.
He will therefore turn grief into a driving force by focusing on drawing new engineering drawings in his new underground studio.
Rosemary knows her husband best.
But Elizabeth’s best friend doesn’t believe in “Elizabeth into cult.”
She was convinced that something had happened to Elizabeth.
Prisoners in prison are given more or less access.
At this point, Elizabeth is worse than the prison.
In the dark dungeons, Elizabeth had no light at all and had lost all sense of time.
She doesn’t know if it’s dark, morning or evening.
As Elizabeth tried to adapt to this dark room, the door was opened again.
No doubt it’s still that man.
He’s the only one who comes here every day, gladly tormenting Elizabeth.
He also called it the underground honeymoon suite.
Not only that, he even told Elizabeth the whole story about Elizabeth’s family in the yard.
“The idiots really believe you ran away. I’m sorry.
“No one can think of you at five meters below their feet! I’m sorry.
At that time, Elizabeth was already powerless to grieve and there was an anger in her heart.
She’s staring at the man in front of her, and she says:
“Why are you doing this to me? I’m sorry.
Dad. Dad.
Joseph was not surprised and angry when he looked at his frightened and angry daughter.
Instead, he opened his arms to Elizabeth.
After a tight hug, Joseph said to his daughter:
“Of course you don’t belong to me anymore. I’m sorry.
That sentence reminded Elizabeth of the nightmare of the past, and she tried so hard to push her father away.
Actually, Elizabeth was assaulted by her own father when she was 11.
That is why she had the idea of leaving home when she grew up.
At 15, Elizabeth had the courage to walk out of the house.
As a result, the father’s “search” was not successful and three weeks later the police returned to his home.
But Elizabeth was reluctant to prepare for her second runaway.
She had enrolled in a training programme for waitresses, equivalent to vocational schools.
Father Joseph, on the other hand, seems to have been profoundly aware of his mistakes and depraved.
In the days that followed, he treated her politely and kept his distance from her.
Joseph’s move reassured Elizabeth.
She thought, after all, that he would never do that again.
But the truth is, the sick old man won’t wake up.
They will only become more obstinate and ferocious in order to satisfy their most filthy desires.
While Elizabeth was studying, Joseph was busy retrofitting the basement of his home.
He said he was going to build himself a work park.
A dedicated office to reassure him to draw drawings and study new engines.
But looking back, it’s all about “the blind eye” to make Elizabeth less vigilant.
When Elizabeth passed her 18th birthday, Joseph felt that the time had finally come.
On 28 August, Joseph suddenly turned to his daughter for help and said that a door in the basement could not be hung through the door frame.
So there’s an opening scene.
Who would have thought that? A little favor for his father, and he’ll end up in hell.
After six months in captivity, the chain on Elizabeth was removed by Joseph.
However, this is not because Joseph began to believe her.
It was because long chains prevented him from working with his daughter.
With more room for free movement, Elizabeth felt that the situation was beginning to slow down.
She has to get out of here.
The escape plan.
Elizabeth confirmed that the cell was the basement that his father had built.
If her screams are not heard, then the pipe that connects to the entire building should!
In the Elizabeth family, the first floor was used to fund, while the second and third floor was converted into an apartment and rented out.
So Elizabeth bets on strange tenants.
Fritz apartment.
It would have been better if it had drawn their attention and saved them.
So Elizabeth started banging on the pipes in the basement while Joseph was gone.
At her insistence, the tenants upstairs finally began to complain to Joseph.
The tenant said that there was sometimes strange noise in the household ‘ s pipes and that there was something wrong with it.
Joseph quickly explained that the whole building was built in 1870, and it’s bound to get a little old and fix it as soon as possible.
His explanation was reasonable, so the tenants didn’t think much.
So Elizabeth’s first escape program failed.
She has also paid a terrible price.
On the same day, Joseph came to the basement in a violent manner, beat her hard and shouted at her.
He beat Elizabeth so hard and howled, and he kept asking for forgiveness in order to break Elizabeth’s escape.
But this is not over.
Joseph simply turned off all the power in the basement and left Elizabeth living in total darkness for days.
It was winter, and the basement was damp and cold in addition to darkness.
Arthur’s shivering Elizabeth hates his father.
She wants to get out of here and to reveal the true nature of this animal.
So Elizabeth started watching the basement code door.
When Joseph comes to the cell, Elizabeth hears the sound of opening the door eight times.
Two of them are code doors.
But Elizabeth is also skeptical that even if she was lucky enough to kill her father, she could not escape from the basement.
What she expected most was that mother Rosemary would discover her father’s secrets and rescue herself.
But it turns out that no one saves her.
Pregnancy
Time came in August 1986.
Elizabeth had been imprisoned for two years.
After countless rapes, she collapsed and found herself pregnant.
I’m pregnant with my father.
This reality has had a tremendous psychological impact on Elizabeth.
She is extremely sick of her body and the products of incest in her stomach and constantly resists reality.
She was crying and beating herself in the belly.
Ten weeks after pregnancy, Elizabeth had an abortion.
The abortion brought great pain to Elizabeth and gave her the first idea of suicide and relief.
But how could Joseph let her die?
One year later, Elizabeth was desperate to find herself pregnant again.
This time, she’s quieter.
Joseph, who learned of her daughter’s pregnancy, threw her a 1960 birth book and a dirty scissors.
It means simply that she gives birth to children in her cell alone.
Joseph is like a cheap prostitute.
He tortured her daughter, deliberately impregnated her and demanded that she face the most dangerous moments in her life.
On August 30, 1988, daughter Christine was born.
And it is this fateful child who has brought hope and change to Elizabeth.
The birth of daughter Christine gave Elizabeth the courage to live.
When she did not wish to die, her poor daughter became her successor and was violated by Joseph.
As a result, she learns from her books to care for her baby while she struggles on the edge of a mental breakdown.
On 1 February 1990, Elizabeth gave birth to a second child.
This kid is a boy named Stefan.
Since then, Elizabeth has had two years of steady “lives”.
She was either pregnant or on her way to be forced to become pregnant.
On 29 August 1992, a third child, Lisa, was born.
The number of children is increasing and the dungeons, which are already small, become more aggressive.
As a result, Elizabeth repeatedly asked Joseph to expand the dungeon and give the children a place to sleep.
Joseph was very generous this time and agreed to her daughter ‘ s request to expand the dungeon.
But for his own safety, he gave Elizabeth and the children no tools.
You want to dig?
Use your hands.
Elizabeth, who had no negotiating conditions, had to carry the children with her hands and expand the cell from 35m2 to 55m2.
Basement structure
The extra space just happens to have two beds for the kids.
Although the space is very small, Joseph has fully exploited his construction skills and advantages as an engineer.
He used a thick piece of softwood as a wallpaper to isolate the voices of the outside world by placing them on the relatively weak corridor wall. While expanding underground, Joseph converted the yard into a swimming pool.
In this way, the earth from the ground can be mixed with the earth from the swimming pool, thus serving as a cover.
However, when the pool was built, the permeation on the surface of the dungeon became more severe.
Especially in the cold winter, the basement environment is almost as cold as an ice hole.
Meanwhile, Joseph is not idle.
He looked up on the ground and crawled over the old Sanisa, and he had other ideas.
In May 1993, he again brought pens and paper, threw them in front of her daughter Elizabeth and told her to write a letter.
Elizabeth picked up the paper and came up with it, and she wanted to write the letter as if it were normal, but read it carefully and she could find out what it was.
But Joseph saw straight through her mind.
He kept his daughter’s hair in his hair and warned her to write like she said.
After that, Joseph quietly put Lisa and the note in front of his house while it was still light.
The baby was cold and hungry, and started crying.
Rosemary, who heard the child crying, opened the door and found the door and the children inside.
Just as she picked up the baby, she dropped a note from the baby, saying:
I can’t take care of the kids, so please adopt them. Thank you.
Daughter Elizabeth.
Rosemary couldn’t believe her eyes and was so busy carrying her children to the front of the yard and looking around.
Maybe, daughter Elizabeth is around, watching me hold her baby.
This thought turned Rosemary on, but she looked forward to a long time without seeing anyone.
Rosemary was disappointed to carry the children home.
She looked at the little baby in her arms and regretted it, and she did not know what kind of life her daughter was living with or with whom she was born.
It was then that Joseph came out in his robe and asked his wife what had happened.
He then looked at Lisa with a heart attack and told his wife to raise the child.
On February 26, 1994, the fourth child, Monica, was born.
Her fate, like Lisa, was disguised as an abandoned child in her 10 months of age and sent quietly to the “upstairs”.
This time, Joseph didn’t force Elizabeth to write a note.
It’s a direct call.
In his view, the constant writing of notes could lead to suspicion on the part of his wife, and a telephone call might be more reassuring.
Rosemary was cooking at home that day and suddenly the phone rings.
She answered the phone and found out it was her daughter Elizabeth!
She kept asking questions with excitement, but the daughter did not answer any of her questions as she could not hear.
I just said, “It’s me, Elizabeth. Please take care of the kids. I can’t raise them. Thank you, Mom.
Then I hung up.
This phone calls Rosemary in a hurry to call the police.
At the same time, Rosemary was wondering, and her family number was changed after her daughter left.
How did she call back?
Unfortunately, Rosemary did not look into the issue at all, but kept asking the police to use locator techniques because she had received a telephone call from her daughter.
However, after a round of police checks, nothing was found.
On 28 April 1996, 30-year-old Elizabeth gave birth to a pair of twins.
Unfortunately, one of the children had serious respiratory problems.
Looking at the pain of the child, Elizabeth naively thought that the father would at least take the child to a hospital.
The result, however, is that Joseph is just a cold look at the breath of the baby.
Then, as with the garbage, the body of the child was taken to the incinerator and burned.
As for the surviving child, he was named Alexander.
When he was 15 months old, Joseph made it up, disguised as an abandoned child at his door.
This is Joseph, 61 years old.
When the children were adopted by their parents, Elizabeth was in pain and fortunately.
It is painful that she cannot be separated from her child.
At the same time, she welcomed the fact that the three children had been able to lead a better life.
But actually?
As a grandfather, Joseph had often told the three children seriously that Elizabeth had left them and kept saying bad things about his daughter.
That way they won’t be born to look for their mother.
In the long run, these three children were brainwashed by Joseph and began to hate Elizabeth.
Time came in December 2002.
Outside the dungeon, people have entered the 21st century, enjoying a new era.
And inside the dungeon, Elizabeth still suffers.
On December 16, 36-year-old Elizabeth was born the seventh child, Felix.
On this occasion, Joseph did not give the child to his wife again on the grounds that she was too old to take care of it.
And at this point, Christin and Stefan, the first born, were 14 and 12 years old, respectively.
Joseph began to fear when he watched the children grow older.
He warned Elizabeth and the children from time to time:
“If you don’t do what I say, your treatment will get worse and you won’t get out of the dungeon. I’m sorry.
“If you try to escape, you will be electrocuted by electricity from the door. I’m sorry.
“Even if you can open the door, the security system will immediately release the gas and you will die in the dungeon forever. I’m sorry.
Life in the cell continues.
At this point, Elizabeth, in her 30s, turned her hair from bright brown to white.
The constant torture makes her look like a 50-year-old woman.
After the children learned, Elizabeth started teaching them to read and write and tell them about the outside world.
She believes that as the children grow up, the more they win.
Joseph, in order to prevent Elizabeth from “resisting” with the children, often intentionally broadcast adult films in front of the children and then forced Elizabeth to do so.
In addition to humiliating Elizabeth, Joseph changed the power outage from punishment to free will.
This was done only to make it clear to the mother and son of Elizabeth that he was the boss and their master, and that he would not be resisted.
There’s no vent basement, like a long, greasy hell.
Apart from the lack of air, Elizabeth and the children had to catch rats and cockroaches by hand.
This year, Joseph is 67 years old.
In his late sevens, he clearly felt overwhelmed and would become a burden if he continued to live “up and downstairs” on both sides.
As a result, Joseph began planning to bring her and the children to the door at the right time, pretending that they were tired of living outside and returning to their families.
To pretend this 20-year-old beast never happened.
However, it appears that he was unable to live like this, and the release plan was put on hold until 2008, when 19-year-old daughter Christin unexpectedly suffered from kidney failure, breaking Joseph ‘ s plan.
♪ The light at last ♪
On April 19, 2008, Christine was suddenly ill.
Joseph couldn’t move Kristin because he was old, so he asked Elizabeth for help and moved Kristen to the car.
It was the first time in 24 years that Elizabeth left the dark underground.
After that, Joseph said he would take Kristen to the hospital and get Elizabeth to “go back.”
The daughter’s life was at stake, and Elizabeth had to bite her teeth and obey her father’s orders.
She spent another week in a dungeon.
By the time he arrived at the hospital, Christine was in a coma and the doctors were so busy that they could not find out what happened to him or whether she had any other medical history.
During the screening of the symptoms, doctors found 19-year-old Christin suffering from lung and kidney diseases, as well as potential genetic diseases.
But when they entered Christine’s name, it was unexpectedly discovered that the girl didn’t exist!
She has no account, no identity card, let alone a medical history, and no such person has been found.
The doctor found Joseph, who claimed to be his grandfather, who was very impatient.
He was willing to answer only a few of those questions and asked the doctor to save them.
However, he had not answered the key questions and the doctor had indicated that treatment was not possible.
After having unsuccessfully pursued the question, the doctor also noticed a slight error and reported it to the police.
When the police arrived, Joseph told the story more than 20 years ago about her daughter running away into a cult.
But this time, Joseph added a detail saying that Christine had been abandoned by his daughter at the door of his home.
When he “finded” Christine, his granddaughter had a note that said:
My daughter is sick. I can’t take care of her. Help me.
Daughter Elizabeth.
A few short words surprise the officers.
They have never seen such irresponsible mothers.
In Austria, it is illegal for parents to leave their children alone at home.
It’s not just a case of abandonment, it’s a blatant “release.”
Meanwhile, Christian’s condition is getting worse and he’s being sent to ICU for treatment.
However, more information is needed for hospitals and doctors in charge to develop a medical programme for Christine.
Thus, a search report was published in large and small Austrian newspapers and radio programmes.
On TV looking for Elizabeth’s attending.
Elizabeth, who was trapped in a dungeon, had a heartache when he saw what was going on on TV.
She begged Joseph over and over again to sign and save her daughter’s life.
Five days later, Joseph finally promised.
On April 26, 2008, Elizabeth finally got out of the dungeon.
When the doctor learned about Christine from Elizabeth, he discovered a strange phenomenon. – Elizabeth seems very afraid to communicate.
At the same time, doctors were shocked by Elizabeth’s appearance.
Elizabeth’s 42 years old, but she’s like an old woman.
The image of Elizabeth from the police.
Moreover, both their skins are pale to almost transparent and very sick.
The most important thing is that Elizabeth, as a mother, cannot tell the history of her daughter.
As a result, at the behest of the attending physician, the children were reported again by the hospital.
When the police came to the hospital, Elizabeth and Joseph were shocked.
The police brought Elizabeth and Joseph back to the police station and then began the interrogation of Elizabeth on the grounds of “child abuse”.
In the face of serious questioning by the police, Elizabeth was initially overwhelmed.
The years of imprisonment and Joseph ‘ s psychological tactics have confused her with reality and fiction.
She even suspected that the police officer in front of her was an actor whom Joseph had brought in to try out if she was running away.
The police saw something wrong with Elizabeth and carefully asked her where she had gone after leaving the house.
Elizabeth asked if Father Joseph was next door.
She looked at the incandescent lights in the interrogation room, like an old vampire who finally saw the light of hope.
After constant assurances from the police, Elizabeth realized that the police were sitting across the street.
24 years of hard support, finally dawning.
Elizabeth buried her face in her hands and took a deep breath and said:
“I have never run away from home, but have been imprisoned by my own father for 24 years. I’m sorry.
24 years, 8516 days.
Elizabeth gave all of her experience over the years, and even the most senior agents were incredible.
Without any hesitation, the police stopped Joseph and then stormed their homes.
The other two children in the dungeon proved Elizabeth’s truth.
The police were looking at the forced dungeons and felt like they were in a movie.
During the rescue, the police had to split into teams, each of which spent an hour in a dungeon, to come up and breathe fresh air to avoid oxygen suffocation and to see how harsh conditions were in the dungeon.
The police discovery quickly shocked the country and the world.
Photos of the basement provided by the police
Demons.
On 19 March 2009, the case was heard in public by the Court of St. Purten.
On the first day of the trial, over 100 media journalists were allowed to attend.
Among them, Maurin Picard, an investigative journalist from France, recalled that when Joseph came in, he scanned the entire room.
Because he heard that her daughter Elizabeth would testify, he was looking for her.
The journalists recalled that Joseph’s eyes were unusual, sharp as a Raptor, and untempered and chilling.
Joseph at trial.
When the judge charged Joseph Fritz with rape, abduction, enslavement, incest, murder and unlawful detention, he pleaded not guilty.
Joseph’s lawyer argued that his agent, Joseph Fritz, had kept her daughter in custody for 24 years out of love.
What an outrageous and angry reason.
As soon as that was done, all the persons at the trial site remained idle.
No one could have imagined that the monster could say “love.”
His lawyer continued his statement:
Because Elizabeth was a drug addict in her youth, she met a bunch of bad friends who had no idea where she was going and had a bad heart.
In order to avoid her daughter ‘ s going astray, Joseph, the father, had to intervene.
The detention of a daughter is a desperate act of being an old father.
Moreover, even if the daughter was kept in a dungeon, Joseph had provided her with television, a fish tank and even a canary pet.
According to counsel, this is sufficient evidence that Joseph is a pious and loving father, and that all of what he did to her was in love with her.
As soon as that was done, almost everyone was turning their eyes and shaking their heads, from the jury to the judge to the reporter.
Of course, there are those who believe this is Joseph’s strategy.
He had a lawyer do the “crazy defense” so that there was a great chance that he would go to a psychiatric hospital instead of prison.
Response of media journalists to Joseph ‘ s defence
Soon, the trial reached the fourth day.
Elizabeth finally agreed to testify, but not herself.
It was an 11-hour statement recorded under jury supervision.
After hearing the voices of her daughter, Joseph, who was called the “Devil of Amsterdam” by the media, suddenly collapsed.
Joseph subsequently pleaded guilty.
According to the judge, Joseph should be kept away from society forever, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
When Joseph was assessed by a psychologist, he was found to be suffering from serious “comprehensive personality disorder”, including marginal, divisive personality and sexual disorder.
Although Joseph was eligible for admission to a psychiatric hospital, the final expert considered that the prison was better suited for him.
In the process of psychoanalysis, psychologists also raise several very important questions.
First of all, why is it the daughter Elizabeth Fritz, and why is she attacked?
Elizabeth is Joseph the fourth of seven children.
There is much evidence that third and fourth children are often the most vulnerable to neglect.
According to Elizabeth’s aunt, brother-in-law Joseph has treated Elizabeth differently since she was a child.
For several other children, Joseph does not even look at them on a day-to-day basis and even makes a little noise.
But wherever Joseph goes, he carries Elizabeth.
Elizabeth had been very quiet since she was a child and, according to her relatives’ memories, she had no child at all, often sitting in the window for hours, like a doll.
Elizabeth’s best friend confirmed that.
Elizabeth is a quiet girl out there, but she can joke and play games with her friends.
But as soon as we get home, Elizabeth will become invisible.
Moreover, Joseph did not allow the child to take his friends home, and his best friend said she could never cross the door when she went to find Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was never involved when girls entered adolescence and started talking about boys.
Because Joseph did not allow her daughter to have a boyfriend, he often used Elizabeth to enter her room while she was at school, flipped her things and read her diary.
In doing so, Joseph himself argued that Elizabeth was too much like him.
He was born as a result of rape and lived as a result of rape.
So like his daughter, it’s the same fate.
There is no doubt that Joseph has always had a pedophile tendency.
His violent personality and inexhaustible desire for control ultimately gave him control over his daughter ‘ s tragic fate.
Secondly, why let the daughter keep giving birth and why choose three children to go upstairs?
According to Joseph, giving a daughter “overbirth” was part of the plan, not because he liked the baby.
When Elizabeth was still in the dungeon, Joseph used to sarcastic her, even if Elizabeth could escape, no one would ask her to do that, a woman with seven children.
And when Elizabeth gets old and gets out of the dungeon, with the children in her hand, Elizabeth will not run away and will remain with him forever and willingly.
As for the choice of “uptown” children, Joseph gave a strange explanation.
He said that the first condition for choosing a child was a baby who could not speak.
Secondly, he would choose the loudest, which would reduce the probability of things being lost.
Finally, he will choose the quietest.
It’s creepy that Elizabeth was the quietest kid ever.
But what made Joseph’s sick mind?
Was he suddenly like this? If not, did no one ever find out about him before?
In the town of Amsterdam, Joseph was a decent and decent man.
He has friends from local banks to politicians.
People who are popular again, if they’re a vicious son of a bitch in their bones, eventually leave a trail.
Four years in the Fritz apartment, a tenant recalled that Joseph was the last person he wanted to deal with.
He described Joseph as “a man who has a clear and well-defined line.”
Within the family, Joseph carries out his own “despotic” management of his family.
According to Elizabeth’s sister-in-law, if Joseph wasn’t home, the kids would be normal.
But as soon as he enters the house, the children will be quiet.
Because Joseph used his discipline to teach the children the same way as a dog, and anyone who failed would be severely beaten and the children were afraid of him.
For her wife Rosemary, Joseph was the one who carried out the violence.
On one occasion, Rosemary went to her mother ‘ s house with a big belly, whispering to her mother that Joseph had beaten her after she was pregnant and even broke her ankle.
In her interview, the sister-in-law said that she had been wondering why she did not leave Joseph and even dared to tell herself that she had been subjected to domestic violence.
Mother always whispered to herself, and Rosemary came home and said these things.
Elizabeth’s aunt.
“I don’t understand” said Christine, “Maybe my sister has been beaten and threatened for years. So she was afraid to leave and to ask Joseph about herself. I’m sorry.
As for Joseph ‘ s sexual perversion, according to him, it was due to an unexpected sight of a couple in his own bedroom when he was young.
The pleasure of peeking has opened a new door to the spiritual world.
He began to follow beautiful women in the park and then hid in the bushes, where they could not see.
Until Joseph was 32 years old, peeking was no longer enough to satisfy his growing appetite.
He committed the first rape in his life and was finally sentenced to a year and a half.
Joseph was married for 12 years and became a father.
Joseph told the psychologist that he could have done something worse than jailing his daughter.
But ever since her daughter made his “dedicated dereliction tool” and made him feel satisfied and happy, there is no reason to hurt strange women.
Joseph in the courtroom.
After understanding Joseph ‘ s thoughts, the psychologist believed that the pathological psychosis was likely to originate from his mother.
Joseph was born in 1935, an only child.
The father never came back to war when he was 4 years old, and the mother worked as a maid.
There was little father involvement in his growth and the mother was very indifferent to him.
She often beat him for no reason and beat the children whenever there was anything around her.
She often told Joseph that he was left to prove that he was able to bear children and that he was a healthy woman.
Joseph described her as the “best man” when he grew up and used it and indifference on his family.
But at the same time, the mother was “a Satan” because she had brought suffering to Joseph both psychologically and physically.
It’s because of its suffering that children suffer the same.
Joseph’s selfishness coincided with the fact that he was a demon from his bones, that he married a woman he loved and that he still felt he was a victim, even though someone was willing to love him.
It can only be said that Joseph’s human nature and his mother’s uniqueness is a natural and cruel man.
The front page of the newspaper when the Fritz case was blown up.
Joseph has always considered this a plan in the case of the imprisonment of his daughter.
And he’s been working on it.
The pain of the daughter and several children was in his eyes as mustard and worthless.
He will resign from the company to the tenant and freelancer in order not to be discovered.
He would even drive to a very far town to shop and dump garbage in order to make it difficult to discover his secrets.
Even when he burned the baby’s body, he felt that he was just trying to solve the problem without any emotion.
Everything is well planned for Joseph.
What is missing is his humanity and feelings.
The most creepy thing for psychological experts was that Joseph told her that he had confined his mother to the attic of the apartment and had built the window to death.
Until she died.
After the police autopsy, it was estimated that Joseph’s mother died in 1980.
He was imprisoned for at least 20 years.
Final
Elizabeth’s children were rescued with various levels of illness.
After a year of treatment, they also recovered.
Although doctors remain concerned that children from these incests are likely to carry hidden genetic diseases, at least for now they are healthy.
The police changed the identity of Elizabeth and her children and placed them in a quiet village.
Of course, it comes from the property that Joseph has accumulated over the years.
That’s the only good thing he did.
Elizabeth ‘ s relationship with her mother has also gradually broken down, and she has ceased to refuse her mother ‘ s visits and has expressed her understanding of the pain and cowardice she has suffered over the years.
Elizabeth also had a relationship with a staff member in charge of her own security.
The relationship was stable and warm.
After 24 years of nightmares, it is hoped that the family will spend the rest of their lives in health and safety.
In 2015, the film Room, based on the prototype Fritz case, was officially launched.
The leading actress, Bri Larson, won Oscar’s best actress on this film.
Sometimes it’s not the drama of the movie that’s really creepy, but the phrase “this film is made of real events.”
