Will the Nazi 'Dr. Death' be found (dead or alive) by Aug.1?

Settled as No

No reports of him being found.

Background:

More than six decades after he earned the nickname 'Doctor Death' for his barbarous experiments on concentration camp inmates, the hunt for Nazi Aribert Heim has been relaunched in South America.

Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff flew to southern Chile Wednesday in a bid to find the most wanted World War II criminal thought to be alive, and he urged Aribert Heim, known as Dr. Death, to surrender.

A doctor with Adolf Hitler's SS, Heim removed organs from victims without anesthetic and killed hundreds of inmates at Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria with injections of poison or gasoline straight to the heart.

Hundreds of Nazis sought refuge in Latin America after World War II, many lured to Argentina thanks to the open-door policies of Gen. Juan Domingo Peron, as well as to Chile and Brazil.

They believe that new tip-offs from the public and a concerted effort by local police and intelligence services could finally bring Heim, now 94, to justice.

The center is offering $495,000 reward for Heim's capture as part of it's so-called "Operation Last Chance," and is planning an advertising blitz to try to elicit tips.
