David Caruso - Associated Press Article on International Warrant

Several people have e-mailed stating the link to the Associated Press article dated October 28, 2008 no longer works and has been archived by the AP. For those unfamiliar, this was the article that reported on Austrian Judge Boehler's issuance of an International Warrant for the arrest of Heidemarie Schnitzer. A worldwide manhunt ensued for Schnitzer following Judge Boehler's order. Many thanks to my wonderful contact at the Associated Press for recovering this article which will now be linked to this blog. Here's the article in its entirety:
Alleged Caruso Stalker Sought on International Warrant


VIENNA, Austria (AP) _ An Austrian woman accused of stalking "CSI: Miami" star David Caruso is being sought on an international arrest warrant, and officials said Tuesday she could be hiding in Mexico.
The woman allegedly sent more than 100 letters to the American actor, pursued him for an autograph and then sent death threats when he refused to give her one, according to prosecutors in the Austrian province of Tyrol.
The woman _ identified only as being in her early 40s _ was charged with stalking and threatening to kill Caruso, but failed to show for her trial in July 2007 and again in April, spokesman Thomas Lechner said.
Judge Guenther Boehler has issued an international warrant for her arrest, Lechner said.
The woman is believed to be abroad, possibly in Mexico, the spokesman said without elaborating.
Caruso plays Miami police Lt. Horatio Caine on the crime drama series on U.S. network CBS.
Austrian authorities said a 2007 letter allegedly written by the suspect and bearing a Miami postmark was discovered in Caruso's fan mail. It read, in part: "I will locate you and your ugly Latina tramp and kill you."
It is unclear if the Latina reference alluded to actress Alana De La Garza, who played Caruso's wife on the TV show until her character was killed.
A court-appointed psychiatrist testified that the suspect has a "profound personality disorder." If convicted, she faces up to three years in prison.

Heidemarie Schnitzer remains a fugitive hiding out in Mexico's Baja peninsula. Schnitzer is armed and considered to be extremely dangerous. Please do not attempt to apprehend this woman.

David Caruso - Schnitzer's Abandoned Daughter Spends Holidays Without Mother


While Heidemarie Schnitzer, David Caruso's fugitive Austrian stalker, spends the holidays hiding out in Mexico's Baja peninsula, her daughter Katharina Sophie Putzer will not be seeing her mother for Christmas. Instead, Katharina will spend the holidays motherless after being abandoned eight months ago by a mentally unbalanced woman who would rather disparage and defame David Caruso than be a parent to this lovely child who is now probably a pre-teen.

Here at The Stalker Chronicles, we hope for this child's sake that her mother is captured soon and receives the psychiatric help she so desperately needs. Then and only then, will Katharina Sophie be able to reconnect with the woman she calls mother. Have a Merry Christmas Katharina with the family and relatives who love and care for you.
