Tests on DNA taken from the man who enslaved a young girl for eight years show he was not involved in any other known crimes, police said on Saturday. Scores of Austrians, moved by the girl’s ordeal, offered support and prayers in notes posted online.Erich Zwettler of Austria’s Federal Criminal Investigations Office said genetic material from Wolfgang Priklopil, who died on Wednesday after throwing himself in front of a Vienna commuter train within hours of Natascha Kampusch’s dramatic escape, turned up no hits in a nationwide databank.Police Maj Gen Gerhard Lang said that virtually rules out the possibility that Priklopil was a serial predator who preyed on other girls.Zwettler said Kampusch, who continues to be kept in a secure and undisclosed location, has not asked for contact with her parents with whom she was briefly and emotionally reunited this week and would not be questioned again until Monday at the earliest.Kampusch, now 18, was only 10 when she was abducted on her way to school on March 2, 1998. Police said she was held in a tiny, windowless basement cell by Priklopil, a communications technician, who reportedly forced the girl to call him “Master” for the first year.Zwettler had initially confirmed a report in the Austrian daily Kurier which said Priklopil had sexual contact with Kampusch, who allegedly gave details to a female police officer. Later, he backed off that statement, saying the federal police could not officially confirm the nature of the relationship.Kurier, citing an unidentified investigator, reported on Saturday that Kampusch wept inconsolably when she was told of her captor’s death. It said that there was some sexual activity, at least some of which was consensual, based on excerpts from diaries that the girl reportedly kept.
