Kerstin Gets Sick
One could say that it was a bit of pure luck that Elisabeth’s first daughter became deathly ill. On April 19, 2008, Liesl was able to convince Josef to take Kerstin to the hospital, maybe because he didn’t want her to die in the basement and leave him to take care of the body. Kerstin had to be forced to leave the underground lair, as she had never been exposed to the outside world. Elisabeth had put a note in Kerstin’s pocket that read, “Please, please help her. Kerstin is really terrified of other people. She was never in a hospital. Kerstin, please stay strong until we see each other again.”
