24 Years Trapped in Darkness: The Josef Fritzl Case

Elisabeth Fritzl endured an unimaginable reality for years, trapped and tormented by the very person who was supposed to protect her—her father. Waking up every day in that dark, suffocating basement, being graped time and time again, questioning whether she would ever see the light of day again or if another one of her children would die in such a place. You would lose every bit of hope, thinking theres no way out; no one even knows your down there… The psychological weight she carried is unfathomable. Listen to this episode to hear the story.
