Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man who has been convicted of imprisoning his daughter for 24 years in a windowless cellar and fathering her seven children, is begging his family through phone calls to visit him in jail.
The calls, however, usually end with kids hanging up on him, prison officials said.
But he knows where she resides, and has even requested to be shifted to a prison nearer to her in the hope that she or the children might want to see him.
Austrian justice ministry officials have confirmed the phone call onslaught, after Fritzl started a life sentence for rape and the murder of one of his cellar children.
The ministry said it would be within Elisabeth's rights to protest his application to move to another jail if she felt his presence there would make her or her children uneasy.
