Police: Dad confesses to holding daughter captive 24 years

[Guest]

A man has confessed to imprisoning his daughter for 24 years in a windowless cell with a soundproofed door and fathering seven children with her including three who "never saw sunlight," police said Monday.

The man, now 73, also told investigators that he tossed the body of one of the children in an incinerator when the infant died shortly after birth, said Franz Polzer, head of the Lower Austrian Bureau of Criminal Affairs.

"We are being confronted with an unfathomable crime," Interior Minister Guenther Platter said.

The daughter, who is now 42, had been missing since 1984 and was found by police in the town of Amstetten on Saturday evening after police received a tip. She and her children have been placed in psychiatric care.

The one quote said it perfectly...Something is going very wrong with the worlds morals. How can people do things like this? It makes me sick just thinking about it.

I hope the girl and her kids are all OK and can be helped through this mess healthfully and safely.
