He paddles in the sea on a Thai beach, seemingly without a care in the world - certainly not for the daughter and grandchildren he has left trapped underground at home.
These holiday snaps of Josef Fritzl were made public yesterday, as more bizarre details of his crimes emerged.
According to police, Fritzl claims he locked up his daughter Elisabeth for 24 years to save her from drugs.
During this time, he admits that he submitted her to terrible abuse and she bore him seven children - one of whom died.
At the time some of these pictures were taken, in the late 1990s, she was in the cellar with two of their offspring.
Holiday snaps: Fritzl enjoying himself during his two-week holiday in Thailand knowing his daughter and three of the children he fathered by her were locked in the cellar of his Austrian home
He told detectives: 'I locked up Elisabeth. But only in order to protect her against drugs. She was a difficult child.'
There is no suggestion that his daughter - 18 at the time of her imprisonment - was involved with drugs.
In fact, the retired electrical engineer drugged her himself in order to get her to the basement prison.
When questioned about the sexual abuse, which began when she was only 11, he admitted he fathered her children and delivered them in the grim surroundings.
But he was nonchalant about his behaviour. He said: 'Yes I did have sex with her, but I haven't for many months now.'
Josef Fritzl during a four-week-holiday in Pataya, Thailand, Jan 1, 1998, to Feb 3, 1998. Despite being without any of his family members, he bought children's clothes and lingerie.
Fritzl also explained why he took three of Elisabeth's children from her to lead a relatively normal life 'upstairs' with him and his wife.
It was because the youngsters were 'cry babies' and he was afraid the noise they made would expose his double life, police said. In fact no one heard any cries for help from the sound-proof cell.
Detective Franz Polzer, who is leading the investigation, said: 'Even though they shouted, they were not in a position to let anyone hear them.'
The detective told a press conference yesterday that Fritzl went to elaborate lengths to maintain his subterfuge.
Josef Fritzl during a four-week-holiday in Pataya, Thailand, Jan 1, 1998, to Feb 3, 1998. Despite being without any of his family members, he bought children's clothes and lingerie.
Last week he forced Elisabeth to write a letter explaining she had decided to return home after supposedly running away to join a cult in 1984. He posted it from a location hundreds of miles away.
'You can be sure that this man left nothing undone in order to deceive the family, his wife, the relatives, the children and everybody around him,' added Polzer.
'He had no scruples to use every possible means to deceive the public and cover up his crime. He was a very cunning man.'
A police source said: 'He is showing no sign of regret whatsoever. He is so arrogant that I don't actually think that he thinks he has done anything wrong.'
Fritzl's lawyer Rudolf Mayer was asked if he showed any remorse. In what appears to be an indication that he did not, Mayer replied only: 'I cannot say at this point.'
Certainly, Fritzl was happy enough in the late 1990s to take the sunshine break to Thailand with a male friend. He is thought to have stockpiled food and left the captives to fend for themselves.
Other holiday snaps released yesterday show him on a trip to the Mediterranean in the late 1970s. It is not known whether this was around the time that he began abusing Elisabeth.
Last night Fritzl, who police believe acted alone without an accomplice, was being held at a police station.
Doctors said he was not showing suicidal tendencies but he is under 24-hour supervision.
The eminent Austrian psychiatrist Reinhard Haller said: 'Fritzl appears to have been driven by pronounced narcissism and a need to exercise power over others - and that may help explain how he got away with the abuse for so long.
'This man must have been insane and must have felt he was far superior to others.'
Meanwhile it has been revealed that Fritzl has told police he acted alone.
But police are not yet convinced he is telling the truth and are investigating how he could have bought food and clothes for them without anyone suspecting.
The 73-year-old pensioner, who has now been confirmed as the father of all Elisabeth's children, was today remanded in custody for two weeks.
It has now also emerged that he had previously been convicted of sexual assault and is believed to have spent time in prison in the 1960s for the offence.
There is also at least one other conviction, for arson, according to Austrian police.
Confession: Fritzl after his arrest this week. He has begun to tell officers of what he did to his family over the past 24 years
Prosecutors are understood to be trawling through court records to find details of his previous offences to see if they shed light on what they have described as his 'unfathomable' actions to his own family.
At a press conference in Austria after today's brief hearing, police said: "He is saying that he worked alone, that he acted alone, in making sure his daughter was kept in that cellar but the authorities are not sure that is what happened.
'As a result they are now carrying out further inquiries. They want to know where the food came from to look after those children and where the clothes came from.'
Experts have dubbed Fritzl a 'ruler; who must have been mad to have carried out such a campaign of abuse against his own family.
The pensioner has not yet shown any remorse for his actions, according to prosecutor Gerhard Sedlacek.
At yestrday's hearing, Mr Sedlacek said Fritzl was 'completely calm, completely without emotion'.
But his lawyer, Rudolf Mayer, said: 'He is really hit by this. He is very serious, but he is emotionally broken.'
Asked whether he showed any remorse, he added: 'I cannot say at this point.'
The revelation that Fritzl had a criminal record will increase the anger that his behaviour could have gone undetected by social services for almost a quarter of a century.
It also indicates his wife Rosemarie must have been aware - at least to some degree - of her husband's sinister side.
Incredibly, it is still claimed she knew nothing about the secret dungeon beneath her home and the unimaginable horror going on under her nose.
Police in Amstetten are now trying to unravel why Fritzl, 73, was driven to lock up his daughter and subject her to decades of abuse.
The retired electrician faces charges of incest, abduction and imprisonment and could serve 15 years in jail if convicted.
Forensic experts in white uniforms and gloves have been carrying out boxed of evidence from the building, which is on a busy street with shops and also home to several other families.
'Down there it is just chaos at the moment. We have to go over every detail very carefully,' Franz Prucher, head of security in Lower Austria , said.
Police are desperate to determine how Fritzl's victims could have been hidden away for so long from their neighbours and everyone else in the town, which has a population of just 23,000.
They are said to be examining the padded walls of the cellar to work out whether the children's screams could be heard by neighbours.
Neighbours have told police they heard nothing but many are incredulous that they could have failed to spot anything unusual, not least because over the years Fritzl had built extension after extension to his cellar.
'The community of Amstetten should drown in shame ... The neighbours are turning a blind eye,' the Oesterreich newspaper wrote in an editorial.
Meanwhile, residents refuse to believe Fritzl could have acted alone, while others cannot believe that the "normal" family were hiding such a horrendous secret.
Anita Fabian, a teacher in the town, said: 'How is it possible that no one knew anything for years? This was not possible without accomplices.'
Guenter Pramreiter, who owns a bakery down the street from the Fritzls' home said the couple were regular customers.

Most countries that have no strict laws against incest still prohibit sexual exploitation of minors - meaning many forms of incest would be illegal because it is considered statutory rape
France is set to outlaw incest as other countries in Europe still allow it.
Under French law, incest is only banned if children are involved however the government announced earlier this year they want to criminalise incestuous relationships even when both parties are over 18.
Until the law comes in, France joins Spain and Portugal as the only European countries without legislating prohibiting incest involving adults.
Campaigners say this "fails to protect children who could be born” of incestuous relationships - who are more likely to have genetic issues and abnormalities.
Incest was thrust into the national conversation in France last year following the publication of a harrowing book claiming a well-known political pundit had sexually abused his teen stepson in the 1980s.
Olivier Duhamel, 71, admitted the allegations but did not face prosecution because of the French statute of limitations.
While France looks to move to outlaw incest, other European countries have varying legislation surrounding it.
It is illegal in the UK and punishable by up to two years imprisonment for both parties (in the case of consensual adult intercourse).
Most countries that have no laws against incest still prohibit the sexual exploitation of minors - meaning many forms of incest would be illegal because it is considered statutory rape.
Some countries forbid incest between minors and adults, but if both parties are in a similar age category (both minors or both adults) it is not prohibited - this includes Serbia, Lithuania, and Slovenia.
In Spain and Netherlands, consensual incest is fully legal, but siblings may not marry - and this includes stepfamily members.
In Belgium and Luxembourg, there are no laws that prohibit consenting adults from engaging in an incestuous relationship.
Bizarrely, in Italy, incest is only illegal if it provokes a "public scandal" - and the punishment is up to eight years in prison, but can be increased for the older person if one of them was a minor.
In Portugal, there is no law specifically prohibiting incest.
Other countries prohibit incest if the couple is of the opposite sex but allow it they are of the same sex - which includes the Republic of Ireland.
It comes as incestuous siblings in Germany are calling for an end to laws banning their disturbing relationship.
Patrick Syuebing and his younger sister Susan Karolewski fell in love and had four children together.
They were reunited more than 20 years after he moved into a foster home in then East Germany when he was attacked by their father.
Six months after he rediscovered his biological family, the then 23-year-old and Susan, who is mentally disabled, started sharing a bedroom after the death of their mother, Ana Marie.
Their illegal pairing has produced four children, two of whom are severely disabled.
In 2001 the pair vowed to change Germany’s laws making sex between siblings illegal, which they took to the Court of Human Rights in 2012.
Patrick served two jail sentences for incest charges at that time.
There are currently 22 nations around the world which have not criminalised incest, including Argentina, Brazil, Japan, South Korea and Turkey.
The practice is punishable by death in the likes of Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Nigeria.
In the US, incest laws vary by state, for example, in Idaho it is punished with life in prison and in New Jersey, incestuous relationships are tolerated as long as both parties are at least 12 years old.

THIS is the "world's most inbred family" with four generations of incest -including at least 14 kids with parents all related to each other.
Perverted patriarch of the oddball clan Tim Colt ran an "incest" farm in the Australian Outback where he raped his daughters and fathered their children, say reports.
Research, based on data published by the Children's Court Down Under, reveals how Tim fathered seven children - five girls and two boys - with wife June.
The fiend, who died in 2009, also had multiple kids with daughter Betty and his eldest girl Rhonda, the Daily Mail in Australia reports.
The 38-member Colt clan were forced to live in squalor in a sickening story of incest, neglect, and paedophilia that shocked the world when their story was first revealed.
Since then, the children have all been given court appointed pseudonyms to conceal their identities.
One of the members of the family - Frank Colt - was found guilty in 2020 of sexually assaulting a teen relative during a visit to the family farm near Yass in 2010.
The offence occurred two years before shocked police discovered the clan living in an isolated camp .
The disgusting details of the family - who moved between rural Victoria, Western Australia South Australia and the Northern Territory - were revealed after a gagging order on their gruesome family history ceased.
Their twisted family tree shows there were four known generations who were living together, including four kids who were the great-grandchildren and grandchildren of Tim Colt.
His youngest daughter had children to her brother Charlie, a court heard.
DNA testing discovered 11 of those children were the product of parents who were closely related to each another, say the shocking reports.
Also living in the camp were a dozen second or third-generation family members who were legally adults so not required to undergo DNA testing.
Three of the late Tim Colt’s daughters have been dragged through court trials, assaulted in prison, and ostracised in communities due to their inbred children – the products of rape and sexual relations with their own father and siblings.
In one Colt trial, Tim Colt's son Roderick was found guilty of raping his niece, who was also his half-sister.
The victim, Petra, was the biological child of Tim and Bettyand was also attacked by her uncle Frank in the back seat of his car during a visit to the family farm in February 2010, for which he was convicted.
She told police back in 2013 that she had never gone to school, lived "in a cult" and that "all my aunts, uncles and cousins have all been sleeping together".
Betty and Rhonda's sister Martha, who openly shared a "marital bed" with her brother Charlie Colt, gave birth to five children.
Their brood were likely fathered by Charlie, her own father Tim and another brother, Roderick, it was revoltingly revealed at her trial.
She was slapped with a two-year prison sentence after concealing the paternity of her kids, who were all proven to be the product of sexual relations with a biological relative by DNA tests.
Martha gave birth to three sons and three daughters, one of whom died, between 1988 and 2006.
She claimed the kids were the product of five casual encounters, a tale a judge called "demonstrably untrue".
The court heard how police intercepts of conversations between Martha and brother Charlie were brimming with "giggling and a degree of sexualised banter."
Charlie Colt - who originally faced 27 charges – was found not guilty on two charges and acquitted, with the balance being withdrawn.
Tim Colt's other two daughters were also convicted of perjury for attempting to hide the identity of their children's fathers.
Betty was convicted of four counts of perjury, one of lying under oath and one of perverting the course of justice, and was jailed for 14 months.
Rhonda also received a 14-month intensive corrections order for perjury.
DNA testing would reveal all four women had children whose fathers were the mothers’ own father or brother, or a half brother, uncle, nephew or grandfather.
Of the original 80 charges originally levelled against eight Colts – including incest, child sexual abuse, indecency against a child and perjury – many were dropped.
Charlie Colt, who originally faced 27 charges – was found not guilty on two charges and acquitted, with the balance being withdrawn.
Although all eight family members were imprisoned after their 2018 arrest, only half have subsequently received custodial sentences.
Suppression orders had remained on the family’s interbreeding practices and rampant sexual interactions as eight family members were before the courts.
Three family members, Roderick, Martha and Derek Colt, filed notices of intention to appeal in 2020, all of which have since expired.
