@thecaseroom.daily: For 24 years, Elisabeth Fritzl was hidden beneath her own family home — while the world above had no idea she was there. She was only 18 when her father imprisoned her in 1984. Over the next two decades, she gave birth to seven children underground, lost one of them, and watched as three of her surviving children were taken upstairs to be raised while she remained trapped below. The secret finally began to unravel in 2008 when her 19-year-old daughter Kerstin became critically ill and needed emergency medical care. What doctors discovered would expose one of the most horrifying cases the world had ever seen. 24 years. 7 children. One hidden basement. The true story of Elisabeth Fritzl. #girlinthebasement #truecrime #truestory #heartbreaking #survivor
