Sepp Leitner

has even more to say about Elisabeth Fritzl and her pervert father, which I will note here:

A lodger who once lived in Josef Fritzl’s House of Horrors claimed yesterday that he had known that the Austrian electrician was sexually abusing his daughter Elisabeth.

Sepp Leitner, who lived in Mr Fritzl’s house for four years in the early 1980s, said in a television interview that a female neighbour had told him that her friend Elisabeth had been raped by her father.

According to Mr Leitner, the neighbour even helped Elisabeth to run away to Vienna but the teenager was tracked down by police and brought back to Amstetten at her father’s behest. “Elisabeth was repeatedly raped by her father. She could not take it to live at home anymore and tried to escape,” Mr Leitner told the Austrian private television channel ATV.

“She had taken sleeping pills and went to Vienna. But the police found her and they, or her father, brought her back home.” Mr Leitner did not explain why he and the unnamed neighbour failed to alert the police about Elisabeth’s plight, though he hinted darkly at their fear of the landlord’s “revenge”. Mr Leitner said that he was still tormented by nightmares.

If he really knew about this, he should have immediately reported it.

When Sepp Leitner

noticed his utility bills were sky high, he tried to disconnect all of his appliances. The guy was never home as it was, and it simply didn't make sense he was being charged such an outrageous rate.

It wasn't until this week he found the answer was right under his feet.

Before she was kidnapped, Elisabeth Fritzl left home at 16 to work as a waitress and lived in a hostel. As we know from a post below, her pervert father lured her back home then threw her into the dungeon.

Another Tenant,

Sepp Leitner, said he couldn't understand why his utilities were so high on the flat:

His quarterly bill once reached $660 which was exorbitant for the time and which led to a dispute betweeen Leitner and Fritzl, he said.

It should have amounted to only a few hundred dollars.

Not only that, but Leitner had a dog, Sam, who couldn't stand Fritzl. The dog always barked when they went past the door to the cellar, and he growled at the landlord but not anybody else.

Fritzl had keys to all of the rooms, and tenants found some food items were missing.
