Wife and daughter reunite

Also Tuesday, it was revealed that Rosemarie Fritzl and her daughter had an emotional reunion and Elisabeth also met the three children who had been raised upstairs by her parents, freelance journalist David Hill told CBC News from Amstetten.

Hill said psychologists observed the reunions on Sunday and determined that Rosemarie had indeed been unaware of her daughter's presence in the house, and her ordeal.

"It was astonishing how easily it happened — how the mother and grandmother came together," clinic director Berthold Kepplinger told reporters Tuesday.

Elisabeth's other three surviving children, now aged 19, 18 and 5, were confined in the basement with their mother. None of the three had ever been outside of the tiny cramped cellar where they were born. Hill told CBC News that one of the boys had seen the moon for the first time when he was taken from his home by police.

Hospital officials said two of the three children who had grown up in the basement cell met their siblings, who were raised by their grandparents, on Sunday. The other child raised in captivity has been hospitalized due to an illness.

"The children just kind of had this connection, they just got on straight away," Hill said. "Quite emotional scenes."

Officials said Elisabeth and her children are receiving psychiatric treatment in an undisclosed location.

She is "greatly disturbed," officials said, and only agreed to tell police about her father's crimes when she was promised that he would have no further contact with her, or the children.
