Amstetten - Police say the Austrian man who allegedly imprisoned his daughter had planned to build his secret cell as early as 1978, when his daughter was 12.
Investigators also say a total of eight doors secured the underground warren of windowless rooms where Josef Fritzl held his daughter captive for 24 years and fathered seven children with her.
Prosecutors told reporters on Monday in the town of Amstetten, west of Vienna, that they will have their first meeting with Fritzl on Wednesday or Thursday.
Officials have also said Fritzl's wife, the daughter he allegedly imprisoned and raped, and the children born of the illicit relationship are learning how to live together as they get psychiatric care.
