I'd say I was surprised, but maybe I'm not. It still gets filed under WTF.

When the police arrived they found the victim a short distance away and took him to a hospital, from where he has since been discharged.

And I'll bet the dude was pissed that he lost his place in line.

Some more information is coming in on the daughter imprisonment story:

AMSTETTEN, Austria (AFP) — Austrian police said Wednesday the man who held his daughter prisoner for 24 years and fathered seven children with her had no accomplices and planned his crime too meticulously to have been caught any earlier.

When she became pregnant from the abuse, he began to expand the purpose-built dungeon from initially one room to three, measuring 60 square metres (646 square feet) in all.

No one was aware of the existence of the underground prison, not even fire inspectors who routinely checked a heating boiler in the cellar in 1999.

"You have to go through five different rooms to get to the room where the door to the dungeon was," investigator Polzer said. "And in order to get to that door, you had to first partially dismantle some bookshelves."

The door itself, about one metre high (three feet) and 60 centimetres (1.9 feet) wide, was reinforced with concrete and had an electronic lock that could only be opened with a remote control.

The bunker itself was equipped with a refrigerator, a freezer and a washing machine which would have enabled Elisabeth and her children to live "for several weeks" without need for new supplies from Fritzl.

Which made me wonder: what would have happened if he had died without releasing them?

And how was he able to construct and outfit the rooms (including appliances!) without anyone knowing?

646 square feet over 24 years + a few appliances coming back n forth probably wouldnt really attract a lot of attention. sure wouldnt around here

Man finds skeleton in newly trimmed tree

How no one smelled the horror that authorities say may have been up in Glenn Parker's overgrown tree for a year is a mystery, but the partially mummified body made itself known last week.
