Kidnapped girl escapes her "Master" and returns home after 8 years
She was 10 when she dissapeared. She was locked in some guy's basement for the better part of the last 8 years. Pretty harrowing stuff.

Wow, that's a new one.
The silver lining is the guy went ahead and killed himself, so no expensive trials or long jail terms required. What a sicko...

I dunno, I would have prefered he got a taste of his own medicine, life in prison, a good portion of it in solitary confinement.

Yeah. This is one of those situations where I would not mind tax dollars being spent giving this guy prison time (I assume tax money is spent on prisons in Austria). He got the easy way out. This girls gets no restitution.

Actually it's not a new one at all. Here's the story of Carol Smith, who was held as a sex slave for seven years, was kept in a box under the bed, and forced to wear a soundproof box on her head:

Yeah, I saw that earlier. That's almost as bad as it gets.
