Will Nazi heir and billionaire Friedrich Karl Flick's corpse be recovered before August 2009?
We've found no news stories regarding the recovery of his corpse or any part thereof.
Background:
The man was nothing if not fastidious when it came to security. Billionaire Friedrich Karl Flick spent much of his life worrying that his family could become the victims of a crime. Bodyguards followed the children around wherever they went. To be prepared for the worst, Flick even had a nuclear bunker installed beneath his Munich mansion. When he walked out onto the terrace, a panel of bulletproof glass would automatically emerge from the ground. His house on Lake Wörther is as secure as Fort Knox. Cameras detect intruders instantly, and security personnel stop anyone approaching the estate.
But there was one weakness in Flick's security concept. Despite his having imposed such strict security measures throughout his life, unknown intruders managed to make off with Flick's body only two years after his death. Last week, they removed the coffin, weighing in at about 250 kilograms (551 lbs.), contents included, from the family mausoleum in Velden, Austria. The grave robbers must have needed heavy equipment for their post-mortem abduction. They even attempted to cover up the crime by carefully pushing the silicon sealant back into the grooves around the roughly 300-kilogram (660-lb.) tomb slabs.
