The Fritzl Case: 24 Years in Captivity
A quick note before you press play: this episode covers an extremely disturbing real-life case involving kidnapping, sexual abuse, incest, child abuse, imprisonment, and death.
In this Patreon bonus episode, Katy takes Nathan through the horrifying details of the Fritzl case, a crime that shocked Austria and the world. What begins as a rabbit hole deep dive turns into a devastating story of control, captivity, and survival.
This is a very heavy one, and we talk through both the facts of the case and the broader failures that allowed it to continue for so long. Please take care while listening and skip this one if you need to.

In addition to Room, another book with a similar premise is The Quiet Tennant.
I have read about this case before but my parents and grandparents remember when it was in the news crazy and I’m glad the family has given safe identities
Holy crap is all i can say.
I remember reading about this when it happened. I’m so glad they’ve been issued new identities.
Oh, I remember this case. I’m a little scared to listen (but I will anyway) because the facts were nightmare fuel. 😳
Holy. Shit. 😳🚨
