Latest Austrian Drama

Hi Everybody:
I tired to make this Loden green, not sure if it will show up on the screen!
Anyway, the NYTimes and CNN (I read them both first thing in the am, since I am a news junkie) both had extensive articles on Natasha Kem_____ about her ordeal. It has been a year to date since she was freed. The articles said that she had been on Austrian TV talking about this matter.
It was quite interesting and she said that she had been back to the house where she had been imprisoned; she also said that she didn't like people asking for her autograph, since she is not a "superstar." I wish I could have seen it, I wonder if it is on a web page video someplace?
Did anyone watch it?
Does she live in Wien and does anyone know which District?
I wonder if it is on the Graben close to the Hermes store? LOL

Best to everyone

actually susan you're right. As far as I know she does live in the first district and if I'm not wrong on the Graben (so definitely close to the Hermes store).

No I haven't watched the interview - lack of time and the media anyway covers it on a daily absis in radio newspaper etc... So things are quite odd about her disappearance and reappearance and honestly it's hard to beleieve that whatever happened to that poor girl actually happened the way it's transmitted to the media. For example she went on a skiing trip with the guy who abducted her. She tried to leave already before and noone ever mentions that. She had her passport on her the day she disappeared. noone realized her disappearance for almost an entire day and her grandma wasn't even called (the place where she often went).

In science I'd say something about my hypothesis must be wrong. Here I just feel for the young woman who somewhat involuntarily is subject of so many converstations and all her life is being publicly exposed. I.e. her mother published a book, photographs are hunting her and her new boyfriend etc..

Usually the ORF keeps recordings of what was aired. So if you're really interested in the interview I'm sure you can obtain a copy from there.

Alright gotta get back to work.

Have a great day Susan
Barbara.

Gross Gott Frau Dr Dr Barbara:
Thanks for your post. Gosh I was just kidding, I didnt know that she llved on the Graben, she must have really made a "killing, Euro wise" to live there. I mean even Francesca doesnt live on the Graben!
I do know that former Mayer Zilk does live on Naglergasse, off the Graben, since I met him in the Hermes store (his wife also, she is some type of Opera Diva, nice lady though)and he and I have become "fast" friends. Nice man, I like him a lot, his Hermes tie always match the cover for his hand. He is a role model to me since he has been through a lot of adversity and has still kept his humanity.
Dont work so hard, in a few days you will be on HOliday!
I thought these Nataschs things only happend here in the US or UK!
Best to you and Idriss
