They Got Id

I was informed last night that the horrendous kidnapping case of Elisabeth Fritzel is the 2nd of its kind in Austria in the past two years! In August of 2006, an 18 year old woman was found in the basement of Wolfgang Priklopil, and was identified as Natascha Kampusch, a young girl who had been snatched off the street 8 years prior at only 10 years old. While this man was a complete stranger to her at the time, he did keep her in the same type of "dungeon" that Josef Fritzel did to his own daughter. Although Ms. Kampusch did not endure the sexual abuse Ms. Fritzel did, Kampusch is believed to have developed a kind of "Stockholm Syndrome" where she began to sympathize with her captor and is believed to have health issues due to malnourishment. BBC. 08/06

Wolfgang Priklopil committed suicide upon Kampusch's discovery.


What is with those Austrians anyway?



Could it be???!

Okay, so there are some pretty cool Austrians (Rilke, Schiele, Mozart)-- but then again they were all nutso too. These guys lately though=Creepsville!
