The start of Elizabeth's horrific sojourn in the underground basement
After drugging her, it is reported that the evil father chained Elizabeth's arms behind her back so she could only move by the sides of the bed.
To cover up his nefarious act, Josef told his wife, Rosemarie, that Elizabeth had run away to join a cult. A cooked-up story he maintained to policemen who were searching for the missing girl.
Josef r*ped Elizabeth the next day and forced the young girl into performing degrading acts. He would beat and kick her as well as force the girl to recreate scenes from violent p*rn films.
She gave birth to 7 children while in the underground basement
True Crime Recaps reports that Josef r*ped Elizabeth severally, sometimes doing it more than once in a day.
This saw the young girl give birth to 7 children - though one passed away.
The cunning father would each time package the newborns and put them in front of their house with the explanation that his daughter had sent them to be taken care of by her parents as she couldn't leave the cult.
His co*ck and bull story was believed by all and sundry because he was a well-respected personality in the community.
Eventually, a serious kidney challenge to one of the kids underground was what raised suspicion.
The kid, aged 19, was taken to the hospital for the first time.
Josef evil acts would later be uncovered and Elizabeth, as well as the kids, were rescued, with the evil father now serving a life sentence in an Austrian prison facility.
The underground basement
60 Minutes has it that the underground basement had a soundproof bunker and a tiny bathroom.
It was nothing like above-ground buildings and was more like a prison.
It is reported that the underground basement has a low ceiling making it somewhat difficult for one to stand upright.

Blessing said her stepmother was told at the church that the man's kids were responsible for his business misfortunes and this turned their father against them.
She said he moved them out of the main house to a poultry house where they pee, eat and sleep. Their situation began drawing attention after residents in the area found out where they were kept.
The residents didn't however save them but only dropped food for the kids through an open space in the poultry.
