Suicide Kidnapper
This news is one of those things that remind me how horrible sick humans can be. Just imagine how many crimes are out there without being noticed. How many people and especially women have to go through things that we’ll never know. How many babysitters hit and violate kids and babys. How many military personal torture innocent victims. Yes INOCENT! And even if NOT inocent… this world isn’t as bad as it was hundreds of years ago, when they burned women for their eye color or killed jews for their money… but is this a better world today?
Or might it just be that things are “more silent” today and that crimes aren’t easy to recognize since the masses are kept distracted worrying about things that are irrelevant in this world. Instead of thinking twice to buy a car, to prevent ambiental damage, we don’t… we just buy it. Instead of sharing work and things with others we guard it like a jelous dog that has nothing better to do than see the one bone.. his bone.
I wish this girl will enjoy the rest of her life in peace and hopefully she will be able to get over this horrible thing that happened to her. Here’s a short text cut from AP:
VIENNA, Austria (AP) — The man who held a girl captive for more than eight years in Austria spent some of his last hours in a panicked state, driving around Vienna with a friend, before he committed suicide, the friend said Wednesday.
Police asked Ernst Holzapfel later that day to identify a photograph of Wolfgang Priklopil, who had thrown himself beneath a commuter train after his hostage, Natascha Kampusch, escaped on August 23.
“It was terrible for me,” Holzapfel said in comments quoted by Austrian radio. “At the police station, I then had to identify Mr. Priklopil in the photo after the suicide.”
Hours earlier, a panicked Priklopil had called him and asked to be picked up from a shopping center, saying it was an emergency, Holzapfel said. They drove to another Vienna location, and Priklopil told his friend he had fled a police checkpoint because he was drunk, Holzapfel said.
Holzapfel — who met Priklopil in the 1980s and worked with him in the 90s — said he knew nothing about Kampusch’s escape, after she was imprisoned for eight years in Priklopil’s tidy, suburban home just north of the Austrian capital. Kampusch, who was 10 when she was snatched off a Vienna street, was kept in a cramped, windowless, basement cell….

It’s a shame this guy killed himself! He really deserved living in prision the rest of his life IF you can call that a fair punishment for what he did to this girls…
And WHAT would have happened if she hadn’t escaped? Would she have died in there? Did they have relationships? How did he help her to study?
I guess there is much unsaid and the time will show what exactly happened there.. anyways she is free now and that’s what counts!
