Natascha Kampusch chat show host

What a difference 2 years make. Natascha Kampusch is a talk show host! Unbelievable the resilience of this girl. Now, I’m not Austrian but I’ve always followed this story with interest. If you recall the story from a couple of years ago, this girl was kidnapped at the age of 10 and in a cell in her captor’s basement for 8 years. She escaped and he threw himself onto a moving train.
