Anna Chan: The cellar captive daughter has finally reunited with the six surviving children she had with her father. Here are more details of her bizarre ordeal that took almost a quarter of a century to come to light. Forensic teams move in to the house where Elisabeth Fritzl was held captive for 24 years by her own father who reported her missing. Josef Fritzl kept her in the basement of the family home in the Austrian town of Amstetten and had seven children with her. Her ordeal came to light when her eldest daughter needed hospital treatment and doctors appealed to the mother to come forward with medical details. Newspaper journalist Andrea Kramer says she offered to help find Elisabeth and was stunned by her father's reaction. [Andrea Kramer, Oersterreich Journalist]: "I asked him for a photo of his daughter who he supposedly thought was missing and he was really aggressive and wanted to chase me away. He said he would help himself and didn't need help from anyone else and it seemed to me he was frightened to death because his daughter was missing." Shocked residents in Amstetten have been holding a candle-light vigil for the family. Elisabeth and her six surviving children have been united in what doctors have called an astonishing gathering. A seventh died soon after birth. She was separated from three of the children who were taken to live upstairs with Elisabeth's own parents. She says her father lured her into the cellar in 1984, drugged her and imprisoned her. He is being held in custody as inquiries continue.
