David Caruso - Donaldo Penalosa Mayor of Tecate

For those of us who track Heidemarie Schnitzer's whereabouts, we have known for quite some time that she accesses the Internet from an ISP in Mexico's Baja region. The Stalker Chronicles is hoping by showcasing the Mayors of this area, their aid can be enlisted in capturing the fugitive Schnitzer who has stalked and threatened to murder three people including CSI: Miami's David Caruso. With Austrian Judge Guenther Boehler's recent issuance of an international warrant, Heidemarie Schnitzer's arrest is all but imminent.

Today, we would like to introduce the Mayor of Tecate, Donaldo Penalosa. The city of Tecate has been referred to as one of the most inviting border towns in all of Baja. Its primary claim to fame is its cerveza, Tecate beer for our English readers. Tecate is also home to the world famous spa, Rancho La Puerta. More importantly, Tecate may unknowingly be harboring Heidemarie Schnitzer a mentally unbalanced criminal who has been diagnosed with "severe personality disorder" with the potential for turning dangerous.

The Stalker Chronicles has previously e-mailed Mayor Penalosa with all location information concerning Schnitzer's location. For those wishing to e-mail him with additional information that could lead to the capture and arrest of Austria's Heidemarie Schnitzer, please write him at: donaldo.eduardo@tecate.gob.mx

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

David Caruso - Austria Aided Stalker's Escape

Did Austria’s behind the scenes maneuvering make it possible for David Caruso's stalker to disappear? By all accounts, Austria is undeniably complicit in Heidi Schnitzer’s second escape. Recall in April 2008 how news services worldwide were flooded with stories detailing Schnitzer's flee to avoid prosecution. Compare that to September 2007, when the story of Schnitzer’s first escape and ultimate capture by the FBI received virtually no press coverage. Why would Austria suppress the David Caruso stalker story in 2007 only to resurrect it as a major headline in April 2008? Like any good publicist, Austria used a tried and true public relations ploy circulating Heidi Schnitzer’s escape drama only when it presented the Austrians in a favorable light.

The lack of press coverage for Schnitzer’s September 2007 escape amounts to nothing more than censorship. Realizing it was not in their best interests to advertise their failure to detain and prosecute a two-bit stalker, the Austrians deliberately kept this story out of the press. Compounding matters, when and if this story had made the papers, Austrians would have been forced to admit they sought the help of the FBI in locating Schnitzer. In April however, things changed. With their legal ducks all in a row and a defense lawyer all too willing to claim that his client would appear for trial, the stage was now set and the Austrians decided to take the media plunge.

For the second time in a year, Schnitzer was allowed to quietly slip out of the country using a passport that Austria should have revoked the first time she fled. Meanwhile, Austrian law enforcement prepared their spin of the situation for release to the press. True, the Austrians would claim, Schnitzer had escaped again. This time however, the Austrians could prove to the world and more importantly the U.S., that they had made a concerted effort to prosecute Schnitzer only to have her escape their jurisdiction. And they could lay the blame for her flight squarely on the shoulders of Gunther Gast, Schnitzer's attorney. The Austrians had successfully managed to shift responsibility for Schnitzer's disappearance from themselves freeing up their Bundeskriminalamt to pursue more pressing matters. For all intents and purposes, the David Caruso stalker case was closed.

Other factors played a role in their decision as well. In early 2008, Austrian law enforcement was dealt an embarrassing setback forcing them to take a long hard look in their own mirror. Seeing their collective involvement in the Josef Fritzl nightmare did not make for a pretty sight. With Schnitzer’s April court date looming and the country still reeling from bad press associated with the Fritzl tragedy, Austria’s Bundeskriminlamt had to make some tough decisions. Would they focus their efforts on the bigger picture reclaiming their reputation as a serious player in the EU’s judicial system or would they focus on tracking down a small time criminal accused of threatening U.S. citizens? With limited time and resources the answer was obvious; Austria could not afford another public relations debacle. It was therefore decided that their foremost concern had to be re-establishing their reputation as a serious law enforcement entity.

In short, Austria had much bigger fish to fry and the Caruso stalker matter did not figure into that equation. Austria's apathetic approach in handling this case amounted to nothing more than a green light for Schnitzer to walk right out of the country. And so she did. Now, Tijuana, Mexico is Heidi Schnitzer's new home for the time being. Unless Schnitzer runs afoul of the Mexicans resulting in her deportation, this case will remain closed. We wouldn't expect anything more from the "look away society" known as Austria.

David Caruso - Heidemarie's Hate

Meet the face of hate. This woman, identified as Heidemarie 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. 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 Schnitzer's many pseudonyms [see list in sidebar]. Blogs and news sites that mention the words "David Caruso" are spammed with Schnitzer's hate comments.

Heidemarie Schnitzer alone is responsible for trolling countless forums to foment comment wars all in the name of her "I Hate David Caruso Campaign." Why? Several years ago, Schnitzer traveled from Austria to Florida where she stalked Caruso to a Miami restaurant and 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, Schnitzer abandoned a young daughter, failed to show up for work and forfeited her reputation all in the name of hatred. Schnitzer 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" shown above, Schnitzer vowed to seek vengeance for Caruso's alleged slight.

David Caruso, his daughter Greta and his former companion Liza Marquez all became targets of Heidemarie. When she first fled Austria in 2007, the FBI tracked her to Mexico and froze her credit cards. Penniless and stranded, Schnitzer's trip home was financed by two Austrian reporters. In exchange, Schnitzer granted them an exclusive interview about the David Caruso stalking matter.

Once back in Austria, she continued her hate war against David Caruso via her laptop. Fast forward to April 16, 2008--the rescheduled date for the original hearing. Again, Schnitzer fled Austria to avoid prosecution. A warrant was issued for her arrest.

Schnitzer remains on the lam holed up in Tijuana, Mexico. Reliable sources report that she is employed by the Adelita Bar where she also has limited Internet access. Day in and day out this unstable, deranged woman continues her hate war hoping David Caruso will take notice of her.

Heidemarie Schnitzer aka Gabriele Huber remains at large in Tijuana, Mexico wanted for threatening to murder David Caruso. She is armed and considered to be extremely dangerous. Do not attempt to apprehend this woman. Contact your local police, the FBI or Austria's Bundeskriminalamt at +43-(0)1-531 26-0.

David Caruso - This Woman Is Wanted!

The woman in the above photos is named Heidi and in Austria she is called "Gabriele Huber" by the news media. She is wanted for stalking and threatening to murder David Caruso, Greta Caruso, and Liza Marquez. There is an outstanding warrant for this woman's arrest in connection with her failure to appear for trial in April 2008.

After fleeing Austria to avoid prosecution on death threat charges, it is believed that Heidi is hiding out in the Tijuana, Mexico area. She may be working in Tijuana's famous Red Light District and it is highly likely she has changed her appearance.

David Caruso - Another Photo Surfaces of Stalker

We have yet another photo of Gabriele Huber aka Heidi, the fugitive Austrian woman wanted for stalking David Caruso. This photo, shot at a different angle than the previous photo when compared to the 2007 picture taken at the Vienna Airport last year, shows remarkable similarities. Note the prominence of the jawline in both photos. The necks on both women are also identical.

"Heidi" aka Gabriele Huber is thought to be hiding out in Mexico possibly in the Tijuana area. Since she has been out of Austria more than 90 days, it is also thought that she may have secured a work visa to become employed there.

A nuestros amigos Mexicanos:

La mujer en la fotografia se busca por la policia. Si la ven a ella, llame al policia por favor. Ella es una huidora de justicia en Austria.

David Caruso - Gabriele Negotiates a Book Deal

Update: We ran the following article last week. We are running it again after receiving several emails suggesting that Gabriele Huber, David Caruso's fugitive Austrian stalker, may be trying to seek asylum in another country if she is unable to negotiate a plea bargain with the Austrian prosecutor. No one knows the exact date that she fled; her flight was merely reported on the date of her trial April 16. Knowing that her trial was scheduled to take place, Huber may have left days or even weeks earlier.

One thing is known for sure: As a member of the European Union, Austrian citizens can enter most countries as a tourist for a minimum of ninety days. All that is required is a valid passport. At the expiration of this 90-day period, Gabriele will either have to depart or she will have to supply appropriate documentation necessary to apply for an extended stay. With Gabriele's return to Austria hinging on a number of different scenarios, the least of which are the terms of her surrender, this entire ordeal could conceivably go on for many more months. David, you're not out of the woods yet. Please do not let your guard down.

First, let me credit "Jester" with the idea for this blog entry. On an earlier article, "Jester" commented that while Gabriele Huber** (David Caruso's fugitive stalker) was on the lam in the summer of 2007, her travel expenses were likely funded in part by Christian May, a writer for the Austrian news magazine The Chronik, in exchange for an exclusive on her story. May later sold his story to The National Enquirer. Click this link for the article.

As we have stated previously, it's highly likely that Gabriele's attorney, Dr. Gunther Gast is court appointed and is not being compensated at the rate he would normally command from a paying client. In all probability, Dr. Gast is hoping to supplement the meager hourly wage funded by the Austrian tax payers with ancillary revenues from any book deals, television appearances and/or future film offers he is able to negotiate on Gabriele's behalf for her stalker memoirs.

Prior to her flight from justice, Gabriele had unfettered Internet access. Thankfully, that is no longer the case. On some days, her Internet time is so limited she doesn't even have the opportunity to read a complete blog entry relying rather on summaries from RSS Feeds and Technorati. Or she is trying desperately to keep her location disguised by not hitting this blog and in doing so having her location appear in the traffic stats. Oftentimes however, the fact that she is not reading the entire article is readily apparent in her responses. She alludes to this blog on Vipix and IMDb, posting comments to it on those sites where she can do so without being moderated. Gabriele's affliction with verbal diarrhea always gets her in the end though, pardon the pun.

Those comments afford many opportunities for reading between the lines. Gabriele and her attorney appear to be closely watching the outcome of the Josef Fritzl matter hoping if he receives a lighter sentence somehow it will set a precedent the Judge who ultimately sentences Gabriele will be bound to consider. Stalking and threatening to murder people remains a serious crime even in Austria. And fleeing to avoid prosecution will also carry additional time.

Gabriele has also stated on other forums that comments she has inundated the Internet for two years with are not likely to be considered when she is tried for stalking David Caruso. Oh but those lovely death threat letters Huber sent to David Caruso, hard copies of which both the FBI and the Bundeskriminalamt possess, are evidence that will be difficult to suppress. Those alone will probably convict her.

Gabriele is holding out for the best of both worlds. A light sentence along with guaranteed financial security is a deal Gabriele's not likely to pass up. Gabriele not only wants the perp walk, she's looking for the talk-show circuit following her release from the Big House.
