Father held his daughter prisoner for 24 years

I think it's pretty strange to that the wife didn't know about it. It said that the door had an electronic code on it so maybe she didn't know the code and didn't question why he was going down there. Although that is kinda strange.

But that's just so horrible! It's extremely bad that he held his daughter prisoner for 24 years and raped her repeatedly. It's even worse that he burned one of the children in the furnace. Even though I don't think there's anything that could be much worse. I just can't understand how someone could do something like that. Having kids with your daughter,killing one of them,holding them hostage in the cellar and no one knew about all that? It's just so weird and so very sick. I wonder who gave the police that tip and how they went about finding it out.

How ya doing, buddy?

Wow! I read all of that and just wow. It tells a bit more about it and what happened. So Im wondering if whoever gave the tip knew about what was going on or if they just recognized the woman from all those years ago. This whole thing is very bizarre. He definitely needs more then 15 years in prison. I hope he's kept locked up in a psychiatric ward.
