Josef Fritzl begs daughter for cash
Every two weeks Fritzl, 74, pens a pleading note to daughter Elisabeth, 43, who suffered more than 3,000 rapes at his hands and bore him seven children.
In them, he claims he needs money "to study to be a lawyer so I can defend myself" – but Elisabeth never replies. In some of the notes he asks for 4,000 to "get me started" on his legal career.
