Amstetten: Josef Fritzl pretended to be the young woman in a phone call to his wife in 1994, a police official said on Thursday.
At the time, his daughter Elisabeth had been locked in the windowless cellar of her parents' house for ten years, without her mother's knowledge.
Faking his daughter's voice, Josef Fritzl called his wife and asked her to look after Elisabeth's baby who had been left on the doorstep.
"Rosemarie Fritzl made a report about it at Amstetten police station in 1994. This report was passed on to the prosecutors' office," Reinhard Nosofsky, regional police department official, said. "She could not explain the call and had not recorded it. We now know it was Fritzl himself."
