The Chilling Details of Elisabeth Fritzl Being Held Captive for 24 Years

The Trap

Once inside, Knight was hesitant but Castro insisted that she go upstairs and pick out a puppy. She was led to a room with pink walls and once inside, she was trapped. The door slammed behind them and Castro covered Knight’s mouth so she couldn’t scream and pushed her to the ground. According to an interview with Newsweek, “Castro tied an orange extension cord around her ankles and wrists, yanked her limbs together behind her back, then wrapped the cord around her neck. ‘You’re only gonna be here for a little while. I’m not gonna keep you that long,'” Castro told her as he performed a sex act on himself in front of her. But what happened next is truly disturbing.
