Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

On 2 March 1998, ten-year-old Natascha Kampusch disappeared while walking to school in Vienna. She had been abducted by Wolfgang Priklopil and taken to a house in Strasshof, where she would spend the next eight years under his control, much of that time concealed in a hidden room beneath the garage.When Natascha escaped in August 2006, her survival ended one mystery and began another. Questions followed about the original investigation, missed opportunities, whether anyone else had known what was happening, and why public fascination so often seemed more interested in judging the survivor than understanding what she had endured.STOLEN: The Natascha Kampusch Case reconstructs the disappearance, investigation, captivity, escape and extraordinary aftermath using documented reporting, official inquiries, parliamentary material and Natascha Kampusch's own published accounts.It examines the van inquiry that came close to Wolfgang Priklopil, the construction and concealment of the underground room, the psychology of coercive control, the decisions that made escape possible, the investigations that followed Priklopil's death, and the intense scrutiny Natascha faced after returning to public life.Victim-centred and evidence-led, Book Three of STOLEN: The Case Files separates documented fact from speculation and asks a larger question: what happens when a missing child finally comes home, but the world believes it has a right to define how a survivor should behave?
