What an incomprehensible, unfathomable, unspeakably monstrous crime. I feel traumatized just reading about it. I can't begin to imagine what Elisabeth and her three children/siblings endured and how they survived. The scope of this tragedy is hard to process. Apalling that this man could subject another human to this hell just to fulfill his sexual urges.

Terrible. It is lucky that the daughter and her children were found before he croked. Hopefully they can be saved and begin their lives. As for him, the rat.....drawn and quartered sounds about right.

After reading this heinous crime against defenseless and helpless women and children, i just feel that this very sick man should get a speedy trial. If found guilty, electrocute him ASAP. If no one pushes the button, I will press it if I can somehow. Sorry, I have no mercy for such person like this.

Which is more incredible - having forced his daughter to have 7 children by him - or keeping her locked up in that 'dungeon' for 24 years??? Ah another AUSTRIAN in the mold of 'darling' ADOLPH - deparved monsters!!!

I find it impossible to believe that his wife didn't know what was going on for 24 years.

Now that two women have been held captive in dungeons for decades (Natasha 10 yrs and Elisabeth 24) perhaps the police, authorities and neighbors will start to think the unthinkable. You would think technology could help too. Heck, why can't we just implant everyone with a GPS device. Then we'll know where EVERYONE is. I'd do just about anything to track my 6 year old girl or 3 year old boy. God forbid should something happen- how could i sleep knowing there are monsters out there capable of such acts. While I ramble- I oppose the death penalty, but I am rethinking that. This guy should die. That way the family can move on. Society shouldn't pay a cent to feed, clothe and watch him.

He shouldn't be executed. What ever happened to an 'eye for and eye?' Have him live out the rest of his life in the dungeon but take out the TV and toilet. Give him two years worth of food and check in on him in 2010.

Knee-jerk 'throw away the key' responses simply condemn other innocents (and there are or will be others like these). This man needs to be understood, psychologically profiled and studied for the rest of his life so we can spot others like him. How was he made into what he was? Branding people 'monsters' just blinds us to the possibility that the nice guy next door might be doing the same thing. This man needs to be preserved as a lab rat.
I do hope the daughter and her children are re-united soon. They've been everything to each other for so long, it seems cruel to separate them now. I hope they are allowed to grow up together properly, in privacy and dignity now. Our prying eyes weren't there when they needed us most, so let's have the compassion to leave them alone now.

I dont understand how a mother doesnt search where the daughter is or what kind of ignorent people those neighbours are..wake up europe where those human feelings of yours..where ư live when somebody moves to the neighbourhood people visit and say welcome and ask if they need anything..
