What happened to the victim in the 1996 case of Maria K, who was locked 9 years in a coffin-like wooden chest?
In"The Australian" (online) has an article entitled "In AustriaNo One Can Hear You Scream" (The Australian, 2008). http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197...
The article talks about a case in Vienna, Austria, involving a mentally handicapped person -- the "1996 case of Maria K, who was locked in a coffin-like wooden chest."
Wikipedia mentions that she was locked in the coffin for 9 YEARS by her parents. The article claims that she was 23. (Fritzl Incest Case, 2008). (Was that before or after the incarceration?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritzl#Similar_cases
I am wondering where I can find more information about this Maria K. coffin case. Please post a link or suggest a further search option. I'd like to know what happened to the girl, whether she is still alive, what was the result of her confinement, and what was the consequence to her parents? I appreciate your time and thoughtful response.

It's a terrible story but not quite as terrible as wikipedia made it sound. She was not locked in the coffin constantly for nine years but at night and as a punishment.

I knew the inequities were severe but those are some mind blowing numbers. A good deal of the money for the 9/11 families of victims was from private and public donation, this is why the numbers are so large. It had little to do with federal funding, so the Oklahoma City bombing victims may need to defer to this fact. Rush does a good job of bringing facts to the table, it's too bad that liberals can't recognize his value and respect what he does for the real truth seekers. It's one thing for liberals to deny the truth, it's quite another to demonize the messinger.
