Mark W Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hmm, ok. Hadn't seen anything about that. Still doesn't make sense. Why did no-one ever ask what he was doing in the cellar all the time? And his wife must've realised he was doing something when he was excavating the bomb shelter to turn it into a mini house... all to weird for me.He wasn't converting the bomb shelter, he was just making it. That was before the girl went missing too. Everyone was doing similar stuff at the time, hence him getting the government grant. He told everyone he was doing his work in the cellar (making engineering drawings for clients), and I don't think he was there all that often anyway.Well i read somewhere that a neighbour saw him once with a barrel of food going down the cellar. and he said don't tell anyone to his neighbour! fooking stupid. It was a bomb shelter, and it was their cellar. What would be suspicious about storing food in it? That's what they're there for! You store stuff in cellars, he was "storing food" according to his neighbour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I see that Josef Fritzl from Austria had locked his daughter in his cellar for 24 years.If only Karen Matthews could've thought of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the666ers Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 It's a horrific story and something that really makes me feel sick to the bones. Whats more horrible is the thought that there are probably more people out there doing the same thing who haven't been caught yet, f**ked up world eh?I hope he geta put down in prison and raped. Given a taste of his own medicine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondy Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Kinda reminds me of the case we looked at in psychology, a girl called genie (not her real name but what they call people who are kept in extreme isolation from society etc) and she was found after 13 years of complete isolation and abuse and she never fully recovered from that, couldnt speak properly or walk etc and no idea how to socialise, so god knows what the other people must be like after nearly double that amount of time.Horrible stuff anyway, theres some crazy people in this world....

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 It doesn't matter, as soon as he comes out he'll get murdered anyway.Well done.You do realise he'll be a nonce anyway due to the high likleyhood he'll be murdered inside? and that he's too old to feasibly make it to the end of his sentence anyway?

Alex Dark Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Mr Mayer also complained that he is receiving hate mail and telephone threats because of his decision to defend Mr Fritzl. He said: “I am getting letters saying I should be locked up together with Fritzl. But I am not representing a monster; I am representing a human being. As I first saw him, the Latin term pater familias came to mind. It was used to describe the absolute head of the family – caring, but strict. Nowadays people would call that a patriarch.” A patriarch!? next they'll be calling him a patron saint!http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...icle3871049.ece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
