Natascha Kampusch was born on February 17th, 1988, in Vienna. At the age of ten, she became victim to what proved to be one of the longest abductions in recent history. In 2006 she gained her freedom. On the day she escaped, her abductor, Wolfgang Priklopil, committed suicide by throwing himself under a train. Since then Natascha has been trying to live a normal life. In spring 2010, she graduated from college.
