The area, known for its rural isolation, was the perfect backdrop for a crime that seemed almost theatrical in its horror. The farm was occupied by the Gruber family: Andreas Gruber, his wife Cäzilia, their widowed daughter Viktoria Gabriel, and her two children, Cäzilia and Josef. Also living with them was the maid, Maria Baumgartner.
The Discovery of the Crime
The crime was discovered on April 4, 1922, days after the actual killings. Neighbors became concerned after not seeing any of the family members for several days. Upon investigating, they found a gruesome scene: the bodies of the Gruber family and their maid were brutally murdered.
