"The concern about security, above all the fear of an all-pervasive, ruthlessly prying media does not end there. In addition to security guards, the citizens of "Village X" have formed a sort of Dad's Army to keep journalists and other sensation seekers at bay. "There are only a few villagers and they are all in with the police," recalled a photographer who was unfortunate enough to be sent on a mission to "Village X" last month. "I was quickly surrounded by people who told me: they don't want to talk to you, they don't want to see you – please get out of here," he said.
A family fortress in a village whose name can never be mentioned is the home Elisabeth's Fritzl today shares with her children. Except nobody calls her Fritzl anymore. She has been given a new identity. She is 44, but the only photographs of her ever published show her aged 16 and under. "Village X" is only a few kilometres away from the almost inadequately named "House of Horror" across the Danube in the nearby Lower Austrian town of Amstetten. It was at Amstetten's Ybbsstrasse number 4 that Elisabeth Fritzl spent 24 years of her life being held like a caged animal in an underground cellar where she was raped an estimated 3,000 times by her father, "Incest Monster" Josef Fritzl.

By July last year Elisabeth had struck up a relationship with Thomas Wagner, a security guard with the Austrian firm A&T securities. He is 23 years younger than her. Wagner was assigned to the family shortly after the move to ensure their safety. "It may seem remarkable but they are still together," said a source close to the medical team that monitors the family. "Thomas has become a big brother to the children," she added. Elisabeth is reported to have radically scaled back the therapy she undergoes for post-traumatic stress disorders as her relationship with Wagner has progressed. The three "upstairs" children's contacts with her and their "downstairs" brothers and sister have also gradually increased.
Last month, the near perpetual news blackout imposed by Elisabeth on herself and her family was broken by Josef Fritzl's sister-in-law, a woman who chooses to identify herself only as Christine R. Her description of Elisabeth's everyday life two years on from her escape revealed that it was astonishingly normal.
"Elisabeth likes to go shopping a lot," Christine R said, "She couldn't do that while she was locked in the cellar for those 24 years. She loves jeans with glitter pockets and she passed her driving test without difficulty. Now she's looking for a car. The kids are all going to school and working hard," she added. Christine R said Elisabeth was without any financial worries because the Austrian authorities had provided her with the €60,000 (£54,000) in child allowance that she was denied during her time in the cellar. "Felix, the smallest one, has got a PlayStation," she added.
Felix was reported to have spent much of his time stroking the grass on the lawn in sheer wonderment. "For them a passing cloud is a phenomenon," remarked Berthold Kepplinger, the clinic's chief physician at the time.
Soon after her release she started to develop an obsession with cleanliness, showering up to 10 times a day. Her children were traumatised in different ways. The cellar children found it hard to relate to their siblings who had led normal lives. What, they asked, was the reason? The upstairs children felt guilty for having been spared.

By But psychiatrists such as Dr Adelheid Kästner say that Elisabeth's second and probably most significant catharsis occurred at her father's trial almost exactly a year ago. The press and public were banned from the court to allow a videotaped recording of Elisabeth giving evidence to be played. Elisabeth crept into the court in person to witness her father's reactions. Then Josef turned round and saw her for the first time since her escape. He broke down and wept. At that moment Elisabeth knew she had won."

En psykiatrisk 'forklaring' / 'bakgrunn' for hvorfor Fritzl handlet som han gjorde (selvfølgelig ikke noen rettferdiggjørelse for handlemåten - det finnes ikke enligt mig):
