Fritzl Family Will Get New Identities

Austrian authorities are preparing new identities for dungeon dad Josef Fritzl’s entire family, including the daughter he imprisoned in a celler, the six children Fritzl fathered with her, her six adult siblings and her mother. The family members have been hounded by lucrative offers for media interviews, the Times reports.

Family members feel like they’ve been “locked up for the second time” at the clinic where they’re being treated because flocks of paparazzi prevent them from stepping foot outside, said their attorney. Protecting the family’s privacy is “a prerequisite for their successful recovery," he added. "Being exposed in the public is the last thing they need at this stage.” (More Josef Fritzl stories.)
