VIENNA (Reuters) - Natascha Kampusch, an Austrian girl who had been held captive for eight years, escaped from her abductor when he took a phone call while she was vacuuming his car, Austrian police said on Friday.
The end of Kampusch's eight-year ordeal has transfixed the nation and left police scrambling to fill in the blanks.
Kampusch, who was abducted as a 10-year old on her way to school, spent the past eight years in a small, windowless cell underneath a garage in the house of 44-year-old Wolfgang Priklopil in a commuter town near Vienna.
Her abductor committed suicide shortly after she escaped on Wednesday.
VIENNA (AFP) - The Austrian girl who was held captive for eight years in a basement refuses to see her mother, as police worked to give Natascha Kampusch, 18, time to adjust to the outside world.
"She wants to be shielded," the mother, Brigitta Sirny, told Saturday's edition of Die Presse newspaper, adding that her daughter has not wanted to see her since they were first reunited.
