The True Story of one of the Longest, Most Heinous Kidnappings in History Of all the twisted and criminal things a father could do to his daughter, Josef Fritzl invented the worst. On the 29th of August, 1984, Josef Fritzl beckoned his 18-year old daughter to the cellar, telling her he needed help installing a door. The door, as it turned out, was the last piece to an intricate, escape-proof cell, Fritzl had spent years planning and building. And Elizabeth was the intended victim. What played out over the next 24 years was a haunting and tragic story that ended with Elizabeth and seven children, sired by Josef himself, eking out an existence in the dark confines of a dungeon.
