Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A man who held a young woman captive for more than eight and a half years may have been involved in a child pornography ring, police said today.
Franz Lang, the new chief of Austria's Federal Criminal Investigations Bureau, said the investigation into Natascha Kampusch's captor has yielded "suspicious factors" suggesting a child porn element.
He said the case has produced "widening circles" that need further investigation.
Wolfgang Priklopil kidnapped Miss Kampusch when she was walking to school at the age of 10, and held her in a windowless cell.
Miss Kampusch escaped in 2006, and Priklopil committed suicide by jumping in front of a train.
