Episode 35: Elisabeth Fritzl

Happy November lovely listeners! Alex is ringing in hers and Katie’s birthday month with a doozy of a case. This one has a second trigger warning for incest and the death of a child. If it’s too much for you, please don’t hesitate to skip this one and we’ll see you next week.

Elisabeth was a fun and sweet girl living in Austria with her siblings, mother and father. She was a normal 18 year old girl when she went missing in 1984. Little did the public know, she was much closer to home than they realized.

This is a story of great hardship, trauma and unfathomable cruelty at the hands of someone Elisabeth should have been able to trust. But, it’s also a story about hope, healing and perseverance.
