When the news broke in May 2013 that three women had been held
captive for over ten years in Cleveland, Ohio, the world was
stunned. Not only had the women been imprisoned in an ordinary
house a few blocks from where they had disappeared, but their
captor, Ariel Castro, had never been a suspect in their kidnapping.
The revelation sent shockwaves through the community and sparked
widespread fear among the inhabitants of seemingly normal
neighbourhoods everywhere. This is not a standalone case. In 2008,
42-year-old Elisabeth Fritzl emered from the cellar of her family
home in Austria, having been imprisoned and raped by her father for
24 years. In the UK, the 'British Fritzl' held his two daughters
captive for 28 years - moving frequently enough not to raise
suspicion - and fathered seven children by them.
