Face of Natascha Kampusch Revealed


She's pretty!

Natascha Kampusch, who bolted to freedom on August 23 while her captor busied himself with a cell phone call, told the Austrian weekly magazine News she repeatedly asked herself: "Why, of all the many millions of people, did this have to happen to me?"

The interviews hit the newsstands a few hours before a TV interview with Kampusch, now 18. "I thought only of escape," she told the magazine two weeks after she won her freedom by taking advantage of a phone call that distracted Wolfgang Priklopil. She ran to neighbors, who called police.

Priklopil, 44, killed himself within hours of her escape by jumping in front of a commuter train.

News printed a large color photograph of a pensive-looking Kampusch on its cover, showing her with piercing blue eyes and a pink handkerchief covering part of her strawberry blond hair.
