Fritzl's Wife Visits Incest Dungeon

Rosemarie Fritzl visited her husband's incest dungeon for the first time last week, the Guardian reports. She received police permission to visit the house—still a crime scene—where Josef Fritzl imprisoned his daughter Elisabeth for 24 years, spending about 40 minutes there and emerging with two suitcases and a large bag said to be full of clothes and toys for Elisabeth and her children.

A police spokesman said it was the first time any member of the Fritzl family had returned to the house, which is likely to be destroyed. The 69-year-old Rosemarie Fritzl has said that she never knew of her husband's sinister double life, and police say that they have no reason to doubt her, the Guardian notes.
