At just 10 years old, Natascha Kampusch vanished on her way to school in Vienna. For eight years, the world searched above ground—while she remained hidden below it, locked in a cellar by her captor. This is the story of her survival. Of a child forced into darkness, a mind pushed to its edge, and a young woman who, against all odds, made it out alive.
In this episode, ClueTrail explores the haunting case of Natascha Kampusch — based largely on her own words, through interviews and her memoir 3,096 Days.
