Natascha Kampusch Case: Neverending story...

One of the ever-green stories of Austrian mainstream media, particularly popular during the summer break when nothing happens, is the case of Natascha Kampusch. There are never-ending speculations whether there was a complice of the guy who kept her like a slave in the basement - and there are fairly convincing indicators that this might have well been the case. Today (Friday, 31st of July 09), the head of an investigation unit and former judge of Austria's highest court, Ludwig Adamovich, was quoted saying that he wouldn'd unterstand the secrecy about the protocols from Kampusch's initial interrogation. For details on the current discussion about Natascha Kampusch, read the overview article on orf.at (in German). Meanwhile, Natascha Kampusch herself has made headlines by purchasing her kidnapper's BMW (English artilce in the Wiener Zeitung, which in my opinion follows the issue in the best manner of all media - but usually in German).
