Austrian teen wants kidnap-ordeal house

The Austrian teenager who was held captive for just over eight years said she wants ownership of the house she was locked up in so that her captor’s mother can live there, a newspaper reported tonight.

In an interview with the newspaper Kurier, Natascha Kampusch said she wanted possession of the house so that “people don’t turn (it) into an odd thing, a type of pilgrimage site where ashtrays and coffee mugs are sold.”
