1988 pic shows US Fritzl, wife as loving couple

London, Sep 1 (ANI): A picture of American Fritzl, Phillip Garrido, and his wife Nancy, taken in 1988, has portrayed them to be a loving couple.

The picture of Garrido, then 37, and Nancy, 34, shows them hugging one another as they posed for the camera, soon after he had been released from jail on parole for kidnap and rape.

Both had met at Leavenworth prison, Kansas, where he was serving his sentence and she was visiting a relative, and they got married in the jail.

After Garrido got out they had the picture taken to send to his father Manuel, who refused to attend the ceremony.

It was signed on the back: "All our love, Phillip and Nancy Garrido".

"You can see that he is a very handsome man and you can imagine him dominating Jaycee," the Sun quoted Manuel as saying.

"Nancy was extremely attractive and would have and did do anything for Phil.

"They look like the typical All-American couple - but when you know Phil like I do you know there is something terrible under the surface," he added. (ANI)
