Answer 1

ya idont get it either

Answer 2

this man kidnapped his daughter when she was 18 and locked her in the basement. he made her write letters to her mum to pretend that she'd ran away.

he kept her in the basement and did lots of unthinkable things to her, and over the 24 years he held her captive she had 7 of his children, 6 survived. the one that died he burned the body on a fire.

he dumped three of the children on the doorstep for his wife to find, pretending that the daughter left them there coz she couldnt cope with them. the other three were left in the basement with her because too many children turning up on the doorstep would raise questions.

the wife lived in the top floor of the house and never noticed (believe it if you will) and they think that other people rented out the ground floor. its a wonder noone noticed but thats the story.

Answer 3

Man that guy's a freak. Cases like this, I don't think you'll understsand even if there was an explanation.

Answer 4

k he locked up his 18 year old daughter in a basement. He drugged her to get her down there so she didnt have a choice. 3 of the kids stayed in the dungeon. the other 3 the dad raised as his own. he told the wife and everyone else the daughter ran away and left the kids. he actually had 7 kids with the daughter one of the twins dies. The wife is probably lying about not knowing so she wont get in trouble.

Answer 5

I am confused about it all too.  All I can say is it is beyond depraved

Answer 6

the daughter was in the dungeon for like 20 some years. The mother believed the daughter had run away and joined a cult. The daughter gave birth to seven children, three lived in the dungeon with her and three lived upstairs with the father and mother, and one died at birth and was burned. The father convinced the mother the daughter had left the three children on their doorstep because she could not raise them.

Apparently the wife had no idea, the dungeon had a kitchenette and a toilet and places to sleep, and was hidden away in the basement.
