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

She Never Got Back Out

Castro lied that his daughter was taking a bath, so while they “waited” he showed Berry around his house. He took her upstairs to the room in which he kept Knight. Knight recalled to Newsweek that Castro opened the door of her room, said “This is my brother’s girlfriend,” and that she and Berry traded “silent, terrified looks.” Afterward, Castro took Berry into the next room where he told her to take off her pants, before he forced her into the basement, taping up her ankles and wrists, and putting the motorcycle helmet over her head. She was then subjected to the same fate as Knight.
