Show notes

You may have heard of the movies The Girl In The Basement, or Room, but you may not be familiar with the actual story that these movies were based off of. Elisabeth Fritzl was only 18 years old when her abusive father, Josef Fritzl, lured her into the basement of their family home and locked her in a hidden cellar for years. Telling family and friends that Elisabeth had run away to join a religious cult coupled with a letter Josef forced her to write corroborating that story, sealed Elisabeth's fate. It wasn't until 24 years later that Elisabeth would finally see the light of day once again.

26: Episode 26: Manipulation, Abduction, Destruction Mar 16, 2021

Show notes

This week a living personification of all that is evil, Robert Berchtold, meticulously destroys an entire family. He infiltrated by gaining the trust of both Mary Ann and Bob Broberg before having separate affairs with each of them. Yes you read that correctly. Robert then moved to preying on the Broberg’s oldest daughter Jan, who was 12 at the time. The abuse went unnoticed, or denied, for years because of the relationship Berchtold had built with the Brobergs and the elaborate lie constructed to keep Jan within his grasp. She is an incredibly inspiring survivor who endured an intricately complex hell.
