For our readers who understand German, the above is News magazine's interview with David Caruso's jailed stalker. Schnitzer gave this interview following her arrest last month in Tijuana. An English summary is available here courtesy of The Austrian Times.

CSI Star Death Stalker: I"ll Walk Free
The deranged fan who threatened to kill CSI star David Caruso has boasted how she'll walk free after subjecting the actor to months of torment.
Stalker Heidemarie Schnitzer, 53, blitzed Caruso with more than 100 sick letters threatening to murder both him and his girlfriend.
One told the star: "I'm going to kill you and your butt-ugly Latina whore...that fat-assed bimbo...an offence to your whole fan base. It'll take some time - but I'll find you."
But the cracked fan has told Austrian magazine News: "I expect a light sentence because in the end nothing happened."
Schnitzer spent six months on the run in Mexico after being quizzed about the hate mail.
She was finally tracked down by other CSI fans who located her laptop being used in Tijuana and tipped off police.
But the oddball fan told how she couldn't keep away from the star even while she was hiding.
"I carried on watching CSI whenever it was on Mexican TV," she confesses.
Schnitzer is currently being held by local police pending an extradition plea by Austria authorities and facing up to three years in jail under anti-stalking.

The Globe's Stalker Article Creates Name Confusion

The March 16, 2009 edition of The Globe has a story about the capture of David Caruso's fugitive Austrian stalker. At this time, there is no on-line link and as they say on television, it's available on news stands.

Instead of referring to the stalker by her real name, Heidemarie Schnitzer, The Globe made an editorial decision to refer to Heidemarie Schnitzer by the name "Gabriele Huber." Due to Austria's alleged strict privacy laws that shield the name of the accused until conviction, Huber is a name that was used by some Austrian publications when Schnitzer first fled to Mexico in 2007. In fact, The Stalker Chronicles also referred to Schnitzer as "Gabriele Huber" when this blog was initially launched until we were able to confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that her legal name is Heidemarie Schnitzer. When David Caruso's stalker was captured by the Tijuana police nearly three weeks ago Mexican papers reported her real name, Heidemarie Schnitzer.

Out of an abundance of caution The Globe, which is distributed worldwide, decided not to use the stalker's real name out of fear Schnitzer would bring suit against them for privacy violation. The Globe is acting responsibly in protecting their best interests while at the same time reporting a newsworthy story.

David Caruso - Heidemarie's Jailhouse Interview

While Heidemarie Schnitzer was being held in Tijuana, Mexico, she gave an interview to the Austrian magazine News. Schnitzer shows no remorse for her actions and clearly was not coming clean concerning the circumstances surrounding her capture. Claiming she was arrested after her six month tourist visa had expired, Schnitzer simply tries to shrug off the seriousness of the charges against her hoping she will receive a light sentence. And by the way, Schnitzer was in Mexico from April 2008 thru February 2009, ten months according to our calculations so the six month tourist visa story doesn't hold water.

As every major news service across the globe has reported, Tijuana Police arrested Schnitzer after receiving tips forwarded to them by The Stalker Chronicles. Schnitzer cannot even tell the truth while incarcerated. Additionally, our sources in Mexico have confirmed that Schnitzer has been transferred to Mexico City where she is awaiting deportation. Our thanks to Thomas Hochwarter of the Austrian Times for summarizing her interview in English. Here it is in its entirety:
