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

“I’m Gonna Die Here”

There were two metal poles on either side of the small room. Castro proceeded to tie another extension cord to the one that was already attached to her limbs and neck before he hoisted Knight up into the air. Newsweek reports that “Her entire body dangled, face down, in a plank position about a foot about the floor, neck cocked, back arched slightly, hands and feet bound behind her. Castro stuffed a smelly sock in Knight’s mouth, covered it with duct tape, blasted the radio and walked out. She heard the door slam shut and his feet pounding down the stairs. Then, nothing.” Knight’s first thoughts were that she was going to die there and never see her son again. She would continue to be physically, mentally, and sexually abused for the next 11 years.
