Fig. 2: The house of Josef Fritzl

On August 28, 1984, Josef strategically brought her down to a base-

ment he had modelled and designed in their home, which was kept

hidden behind a hinged door. Soon after fixing it, he pushed Elis-

abeth inside after making her unconscious with an ether-soaked
towel.

When Elisabeth went missing, Rosemarie and Josef filed a miss-

ing report. While the investigations were going on, Josef claimed

to remember her talking about joining some religious cult. When

there was no evidence of her disappearance, the case went cold and

police stopped further investigations due to a lack of any leads.
