Austrian woman locked in basement for 24 years

[Bucket]

Josef Fritzl, 73 of Austria, imprisoned his daughter Elizabeth Fritzl, 42, for over 24 years in his basement cellar and also fathered Elizabeth's seven children. One of her sons, who is 18 years old, had never seen the outside world until just last week. I can't even imagine what that would be like.

What are your thoughts?

I heard about this a month ago. Very creepy.

Indeed.

 

I just don't understand why she didn't try to escape! If someone locked in a room for even one day, I would think of any means possible to try to get out.

^If he thought this thing out as well as that article suggests, then there may have been no possible way for her to escape.
