<P> The Fritzl case emerged in April 2008 when a woman named Elisabeth Fritzl ( born 6 April 1966 ) told police in the town of Amstetten , Austria , that she had been held captive for 24 years behind eight locked doors in a concealed corridor part of the basement area of the large family house by her father , Josef Fritzl ( born 9 April 1935 ) , and that Fritzl had physically assaulted , sexually abused , and raped her numerous times during her imprisonment . The abuse by her father resulted in the birth of seven children : three of them remained in captivity with their mother , one had died just days after birth , and the other three were brought up by Fritzl and his wife , Rosemarie , having been reported as foundlings . </P>
