It's hard to believe that such a horrific story could be true, but unfortunately, it is. Josef Fritzl, a depraved rapist, held his own daughter, Elisabeth, captive for 24 years in a dungeon he built under his home in Amstetten, Austria. During this time, he fathered seven children with her, while treating her as his personal sex slave. The world was shocked and appalled when this unimaginable crime came to light in 2008.
Now, at the age of 89, Fritzl is serving a life sentence in a special prison unit for inmates with mental disorders. However, his lawyer, Astrid Wagner, has recently announced her plans to apply for his parole next month. She believes that due to his old age and declining health, Fritzl has a good chance of being released.
In an interview with the Mirror, Ms. Wagner revealed that her client has some delusions about what life will be like once he is freed. He truly believes that people will be celebrating his release and lining up to shake his hand, as if he is some sort of hero. Of course, this is far from the truth. As Ms. Wagner stated, "It's a fantasy. I don't think he fully understands how the world really feels about him."
Fritzl's desire is to return to his previous home, but this is unlikely as he would require constant care. Unfortunately, none of his friends or family are willing to take on this responsibility. It's clear that no one wants anything to do with him, and it's no surprise considering the monstrous acts he committed.
Last year, a regional court determined that Fritzl was no longer a threat to society and approved his transfer from a high-security prison to a regular one. This was seen as a step towards his eventual release from prison, although the three-judge panel stated that this was not likely to happen in the near future. After all, Fritzl imprisoned his own daughter when she was just 18 years old and forced her to bear his children. Three of these children were raised in captivity with their mother, while the other three were taken in by Fritzl's wife after he claimed that Elisabeth had abandoned them to join a religious sect.
As if this story couldn't get any more disturbing, Fritzl also admitted to burning the remains of the seventh child, who tragically died shortly after birth. It's hard to comprehend the level of evil that one person is capable of.
In the end, Josef Fritzl's attempt to seek freedom after committing such heinous crimes is nothing short of delusional. The world will never forget the horror that he inflicted upon his own daughter, and it's doubtful that anyone will ever be willing to shake his hand in celebration of his release.
