David Caruso -Stalker's Proximity to US Border Has Officials Concerned



Update: On Feb. 19, 2009 Heidemarie Schnitzer was captured and arrested by Tijuana police. Within weeks she was deported to Austria where she stood trial on April 14, 2009. After being found guilty of stalking and sending death threats to David Caruso, Judge Guenther Boehler sentenced her to prison for 7 months. Following her incarceration, she was transferred to a mental facility for an undisclosed period of time.


It has been nearly 4 months since Heidi Schnitzer fled Austria to avoid prosecution on charges she stalked and threatened to murder David Caruso, his daughter Greta Caruso and Liza Marquez. Recent intelligence suggests that Schnitzer is planning to illegally enter the US as soon as possible to carry out her death threats against the actor and his family. The U.S. Border patrol remains on high alert with photos of this dangerous fugitive at each checkpoint.

Intelligence sources strongly suggest that the stalker may attempt to carry out her death threats prior to CSI Miami's season premiere scheduled for late September. The FBI's NCIC has all of the necessary information on Schnitzer that will aid in her detainment and eventual deportation if caught attempting to enter the U.S. What has officials concerned though is the fact that Schnitzer has already escaped from her own country twice. They fear that she could slip into the U.S. undetected posing a grave threat to David Caruso and his family.


Heidi Schnitzer remains on the lam hiding out in the Tijuana, Mexico area.
She is armed and considered to be extremely dangerous. Do not attempt to apprehend this woman. Contact the U.S. Border Patrol at 1-800-232-5378 , the FBI or Austria's Bundeskriminalamt at +43-(0)1-531 26-0.

David Caruso - Stalker on the Lam Four Months



Nearly 4 months have now gone by and Heidi Schnitzer, David Caruso's fugitive Austrian stalker remains on the run. It would appear that Austria's inept Bundeskriminalamt has put this matter on their proverbial back burner. After the FBI initially contacted them in 2007, Austria went through the motions to maintain free flowing diplomatic channels with the U.S. They filed charges, allowed Schnitzer to escape , sought the aid of the FBI to locate her, set a trial date and ultimately allowed her to escape AGAIN. On April 16, 2008, Heidi Schnitzer [aka Gabriele Huber] failed to appear for trial on charges she stalked and threatened to murder David Caruso, Greta Caruso and Liza Marquez. She fled for the second time.

For almost 4 months, the Austrians have done nothing to capture this woman and are probably glad to be rid of her! For those unaware of this story, the following is helpful background on this extremely dangerous woman who fled to Tijuana, Mexico where she remains in hiding:

Meet the face of hate. This woman, identified as Heidi Schnitzer aka Gabriele Huber, hates David Caruso. And she will go to the ends of the Internet posting slander and libel to let you know it. Been to a David Caruso fan site lately? If you have, undoubtedly you noticed an ongoing war of words between Caruso fans and one of Heidi's many pseudonyms [see list in sidebar]. Bloggers and news outlets who even mention the words "David Caruso" are inundated with Heidi's hate comments.

Heidi is responsible for countless forum disruptions and spam all in the name of her "I Hate David Caruso" campaign. Why? Several years ago, Heidi reportedly left Austria in pursuit of her prey. She followed David Caruso to a Miami restaurant and she propositioned him. When Caruso said "no thanks" [do you blame him?], this one-time love obsessed fan turned criminal stalker over night.

At the now famous moment of rejection, Heidi abandoned a young daughter, failed to show up for work and forfeited her reputation all in the name of hatred. Heidi mailed hundreds of letters to Caruso demanding an autograph. When these went unanswered, she went into a tailspin. Composing her now famous "death threat letter", Heidi vowed to seek vengeance for Caruso's alleged slight.

David Caruso, his daughter Greta and his former companion Liza Marquez all became targets of Heidi. When she first fled Austria in 2007, the FBI tracked her down in Mexico where she was captured and extradited to Austria. She continued her hate war against David Caruso via her laptop. Fast forward to April 16, 2008--the date of Heidi's trial. Again, she fled Austria to avoid prosecution. A warrant was issued for her arrest.

Heidi remains on the lam hiding out in Tijuana, Mexico. Reliable sources report that she is employed in the Zona Norte area of the city where she also has limited Internet access. Day in and day out this unstable, deranged woman continues her hate war hoping that one day David Caruso will take notice of her. That will never happen. Hopefully, law enforcement will.

Heidi Schnitzer aka Gabriele Huber remains at large wanted for threatening to murder David Caruso. She is armed and considered to be extremely dangerous and is hiding out in Tijuana, Mexico. Do not attempt to apprehend this woman. Contact the U.S. Border Patrol at 1-800-232-5378 , the FBI or Austria's Bundeskriminalamt at +43-(0)1-531 26-0.
