The AP has an on-line article about the girl who was held by her kidnapper for eight and a half years in an underground cell; now she's becoming an Austrian television talkshow host on Natascha Kampusch Meets... Kampusch was a freckle-faced 10-year-old when she vanished while walking to school in Vienna in March 1998. Her abduction was Austria's greatest unsolved criminal mystery until Aug. 23, 2006, when pale, feeble and nearly blinded by the light of day, she stumbled to freedom. Within hours of her escape, Wolfgang Priklopil — who had confined her to a cramped, dingy, windowless cell beneath his suburban home — committed suicide by leaping in front of a rush-hour commuter train.
Rico says Priklopil got off easy...
