Josef Fritzl, who imprisoned and sexually abused his daughter Elisabeth in a basement for 24 years, was taken from prison to guide police through the crime scene. The visit was part of his trial in 2008, where details of the cellar and an alleged escape plan were sought. Despite Fritzl's claims of a time-release mechanism to free his captives in case of his incapacitation, no such device was found.

Court papers have revealed new details about the killing of Joseph and Magda Goebbels' children during the final moments of the Third Reich. The children were administered morphine and cyanide by SS officers. Magda Goebbels had sought the help of a dentist, Kunz, who refused to participate in the killings.
