David Caruso - Interview With Dr. Karin Treichl

Pre-trial information for next week's highly anticipated David Caruso stalker trial has been sporadic at best with media accounts varying widely. Forty-eight hours after Schnitzer was extradited to Austria, she was formally arraigned and charged with stalking and sending death threats. At that time, an Innsbruck Court determined that Schnitzer would remain incarcerated until time of trial as she posed a flight risk after twice failing to appear and ultimately fleeing the jurisdiction for Mexico.

Most media outlets also reported that Schnitzer would undergo another extensive psychiatric evaluation prior to her trial. Not true according to Dr. Karin Treichl. In a recent telephone interview with Austrian crime blogger Marcus J. Oswald, Dr. Treichl explained that the Court will rely on her initial evaluation.

In 2007 Dr. Karin Treichl, court-appointed psychiatrist for David Caruso's stalker, conducted an extensive evaluation of Heidemarie Schnitzer meeting with her personally on several occasions. Dr. Treichl concluded that Schnitzer was suffering from a "profound personality disorder" and further noted that Schnitzer had the potential for turning deadly at a moment's notice.

On April 14, 2009 Schnitzer will have her long awaited day in Court. Following testimony, Judge Guenther Boehler will sentence Schnitzer according to court spokesman Dr. Wilfried Siegle. The charges of stalking and threatening to murder carry a maximum penalty of three years. Sentencing will be made public and we fully expect a media frenzy surrounding the rendering of the Court's verdict.

Schnitzer's Interview With News Magazine

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.

News refers to Heidemarie Schnitzer as "Gabriele Huber" and states parenthetically that Huber is not her real name. The Stalker Chronicles would like to thank Thomas Hochwarter at The Austrian Times for furnishing us with a copy of the original interview in its entirety.

David Caruso Stalker Transferred To Mexico City

Mexican Immigration in Tijuana has confirmed to The Stalker Chronicles that Heidemarie Schnitzer was transferred to Mexico City following her February 19, 2009 arrest. Schnitzer is currently being detained in the Mexican capital pending deportation to Austria. As soon as we have further information concerning Schnitzer's long-awaited journey to justice, we will update accordingly.

David Caruso Stalker Claims She'll Walk Free

More from The Austrian Times about Heidemarie Schnitzer's interview with Austria's News magazine. According to Stalker Chronicles' sources, David Caruso's stalker remains in Mexico City pending deportation pursuant to the international warrant for her arrest:

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.

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:

CSI star stalker hopes to get away with it

By Thomas Hochwarter

The deranged Austrian woman who threatened to kill CSI: Miami star David Caruso said she is "kind of relieved" now that she had been arrested.Austrian magazine "News" interviewed Heidemarie Schnitzer, who has been on the run for months since she was accused of sending the 53-year-old actor more than 100 sinister letters.In the interview, Schnitzer admits she is hoping for a mild sentence. She said: "I expect a light sentence because in the end nothing happened."The Tyrolean is currently being detained in a prison in Tijuana, Mexico, where she is waiting to be extradited to Austria. In her home country, the 42-year-old blonde will face up to three years in jail under Austria's new anti-stalking laws.Asked about how tense the last few months had been for her, Schnitzer said: "I wasn’t really on the run. I had a tourist visa for six months that simply expired in the end. I was arrested in a random traffic check (two weeks ago)."The cops realised there was an international warrant for the woman and arrested her.She said: "I learned my lesson. But I continued to watch CSI when it was on Mexican TV."In one letter, Schnitzer threatened: "I’m going to kill you and your butt-ugly Latina whore (…) that fat-assed bimbo (…) an offense to your whole fan base. It’ll take some time – but I’ll find you."My letters were a stupid joke. I wanted to make something special, something others don’t do."

CSI: Mexico - fans track down Caruso stalker

A deranged stalker who threatened to kill CSI Miami star David Caruso has been arrested after fans of the hit crime show tracked her down in Mexico.

Heidemarie Schnitzer has been on the run from her home in Innsbruck, Tyrol, since she was accused of blitzing the star with more than 100 sinister letters.

Now fans from the show have snared her after tracking down her laptop computer to Tijuana through her internet service provider.

A blog called The Stalker Chronicles unravelled hundreds of layers of security Schnitzer had put in place to protect her location and CSI fan Sara Kane finally cracked the trail last week and informed the Austrian Justice Ministry.

Mexican police have arrested the 41-year-old woman who his now facing extradition and three years in jail under Austria's tough anti-stalking laws.

Schnitzer threatened to kill Caruso - who plays investigator Horatio Caine - and his lover Liza Marquez after he ignored her obsessed letters.

David Caruso - Heidemarie Schnitzer The Con Artist

With Schnitzer finally in custody of Mexican Immigration, David Caruso, Greta Caruso and Liza Marquez can finally put some closure to this precarious chapter of their lives. Their immediate families surely must be breathing collective sighs of relief as the safety of their loved ones is no longer being compromised by a mentally unbalanced celebrity stalker.

What continues to strike The Stalker Chronicles as odd are the few Internet sites who claimed Schnitzer was innocent and even went so far as to call her a friend. One site has posted not one, but two pieces bemoaning the loss of their "fallen comrade." Several others including one high traffic site took The Stalker Chronicles to task when we attempted to do nothing more than warn them who Schnitzer really was.

We have to hand it to Schnitzer. Being a consummate con-artist, she was successful in promoting her subterfuge with a few gullible people. However, most intelligent people quickly saw through Schnitzer's charade that included multiple pseudonyms and four hate-David Caruso blogs. The Stalker Chronicles will not link to the duped sites as they have engaged in denigration of The Stalker Chronicles and our efforts and did nothing to promote the cause of justice.

These same individuals are now professing disbelief that a stalker was in their midst while at the same time claiming they had suspicions all along. Is there a club for con-artists?

David Caruso - Schnitzer's Arrest Photo From Tijuana

Heidemarie Schnitzer
Arrested in Tijuana

The Stalker Chronicles wishes to graciously thank "TJ" for sending us the above photo of David Caruso's fugitive Austrian stalker taken as she was arrested in Tijuana on Thursday night. Here's the link for the paper where this was published.

David Caruso - Associated Press Confirms Stalker Detained in Tijuana

The Stalker Chronicles just spoke with the Associated Press' Mexico Bureau. An editor has confirmed that Heidemarie Schnitzer has been detained in Tijuana and the AP story has just gone out on the wires. According to our source, the story will become available on the Internet shortly. We will keep you updated.

David Caruso - El Mexicano Reports Stalker May Have Been Captured

Don't break open the champagne just yet, but El Mexicano is reporting that Heidemarie Schnitzer, who has stalked and threatened to murder David Caruso and his family members, was picked up last night at approximately 11:30 p.m. by Municipal Police in La Mesa, Mexico. The article is in Spanish but you can get a rough English translation from Google. There is also an audio accompaniment to it for those fluent in Spanish.

As soon as The Stalker Chronicles learns more details, we will update accordingly.

David Caruso - End Your Exile Heidemarie and Return To Your Children

The fact that David Caruso's fugitive Austrian stalker has chosen a life of crime and abandoned her own children to do so is so sad that it bears repeating whenever similar cases draw comparisons. Today it has been widely reported that Roman Polanski, the academy award winning film director, has sought to end his exile by filing a Motion to Dismiss the case against him with a Los Angeles Court. Presiding Judge Peter Espinoza denied Polanski's Motion on the grounds that Polanski has no standing to file it as long as he remains a fugitive. However, the Judge stated if Polanski would return by May 7, 2009, he would agree to re-hear it.

Polanski fled to France in 1978 after failing to appear for a Los Angeles court hearing after he plead guilty to having sex with a 13 year-old girl. Polanski's French citizenship makes it impossible for the U.S. to extradite him, however, if Polanski ever tries to enter the U.S. he will be arrested. For those who claim this is not related, bear in mind that Schnitzer has posted pornographic comments about David Caruso's two-year old son on an Internet site.

Polanski has waited over thirty years to set foot on U.S. soil. How long will Heidemarie Schnitzer wait before it dawns on her what she has given up to pursue a life of crime? Two children that we know of and a homeland she loves are now memories for Schnitzer. Before it's too late, all Schnitzer needs to do is make a phone call to her lawyer and let him know she's ready to plea bargain. But will she? Pride always goes before a fall.

Heidemarie Schnitzer remains at large on Mexico's Baja peninsula wanted on an International Warrant for threatening to murder CSI Miami's David Caruso and for fleeing Austria to avoid prosecution thereof. Schnitzer is armed and considered to be extremely dangerous. Please do not attempt to apprehend this woman.

David Caruso - Stalker's Personality Disorder Similar to Josef Fritzl's

To date, little is known about Heidemarie Schnitzer's childhood and what events may have contributed to her psychotic adult behavior. Was Schnitzer abused as a child or perhaps abandoned? Or is Schnitzer's condition hereditary much like that of the late Margaret Mary Ray, David Letterman's stalker? For those familiar with Casey Anthony, the Florida mother accused of murdering her daughter, many psychiatric experts have stated that Anthony lacks a conscience rendering her incapable of love for anyone other than herself. Schnitzer too appears to be afflicted with this same mental incapacity. Was she born to stalk?

With Josef Fritzl scheduled to be tried next month for his heinous crimes, a closer look at his psychiatric examination reveals striking similarities to Dr. Karin Treichl's evaluation of Schnitzer. Dr. Adelheid Kastner of the Wagner-Jauregg psychiatric clinic in Linz, Austria prepared a 130 page report detailing her extensive examination of Fritzl. Kastner concluded the following:

“He was not only incredibly able to lead a double life but also managed to maintain a triple life without any problems,” Dr Kastner wrote, indicating that Fritzl played down the gravity of his crimes in his mind.
“Mr Fritzl resembles a volcano; under the surface that appears almost banal there is an evil streak. He is torn apart by his desires that he cannot master,” Dr Kastner wrote.
The report declared Fritzl clinically sane and fit for trial, but also diagnosed a “severe combined personality disorder and a sexual disorder”.
“It is to be expected that Mr Fritzl would perpetrate deeds with severe consequences also in the future,” Dr Kastner concluded.
http://shadmia.com/2008/10/23/joseph-fritzl-says-i-was-born-to-rape/

According to Kastner, Fritzl's dysfunctional childhood contributed to his heinous adult behavior and criminal proclivities. Compare Kastner's diagnosis of Fritzl to Dr. Treichl's diagnosis of Schnitzer who concluded that Schnitzer suffered from a "severe personality disorder" with the potential for turning dangerous. Mexico, where Schnitzer remains on the run, has a human volcano ready to erupt without notice residing illegally in their midst. Daily on multiple Internet sites, Schnitzer maintains a "double life" and downplays her crimes against Caruso and his family. If provoked by impending capture, Schnitzer's repressed "evil streak" poses a serious threat to Mexico's citizenry. Officials close to this story continue to express grave concerns for David Caruso and his family members should Schnitzer manage to breach the US/Mexico border and travel to Los Angeles.

David Caruso - Heidemarie Schnitzer Remains At Large in Governor Millan's Backyard

Dear Governor Osuna Millan:

After learning that Heidemarie Schnitzer, David Caruso's fugitive Austrian stalker had fled Austria for Mexico's Baja peninsula, Innsbruck's Judge Guenther Boehler issued an international warrant on October 28, 2008 for her arrest. For nearly eight months, Schnitzer has remained at large in your own backyard.

Schnitzer is armed and considered to be extremely dangerous. She poses a very real threat to the citizens of Mexico. She has been diagnosed suffering from "severe personality disorder" with the potential for turning deadly at any moment. Governor Millan, the time to act is now! Schnitzer needs to be captured and deported to Austria before she follows through with her threats to murder three people. Or before she attacks Mexican citizens. Schnitzer's hatred for people of Latin American descent is well documented.

Private e-mails have been sent to you and all of the Mayors of the Baja region with location information on Schnitzer. This Austrian fugitive has been using the Internet to joke about Mexican law enforcement's efforts to capture her. In fact, she thinks the whole case against her is somehow irrelevant and it's perfectly acceptable to threaten peoples' lives. The sad truth is Schnitzer will stop at nothing to follow through with her death threats. Governor Millan, let Mexico be Schnitzer's final stop on her journey to an Austrian prison.

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. Contact the U.S. Border Patrol at 1-800-232-5378 , the FBI at (310) 477-6565 or Austria's Bundeskriminalamt at +43-(0)1-531 26-0.

David Caruso - Schizophrenic Schnitzer Denies Children Are Hers

UPDATE: Within minutes of publishing this post, Heidemarie Schnitzer read our blog and immediately beat a path to IMDb to correct her grammatical errors. We stand by the quote below as originally published. Schnitzer's IMDb post which she corrected is now noted as "updated."

More evidence of Heidemarie Schnitzer's schizophrenia for Dr. Karin Treichl and Austria's Children's Protective Services. The voices in the head of David Caruso's fugitive Austrian stalker continue disavowing she abandoned two children. After we posted a link on IMDb to the above photo, Schnitzer posted the following grammatically challenged denial:

Ahem, Is it just me or do I fail so any names attached to the picture? You know names as in confirmation/proof? Whoever this people are....sweet cheeks, you really have to do BETTER than that.Still begging for information? Still hallucinating? What ELSE is new?

How sad that Schnitzer's two children are old enough now to not only access the Internet but regrettably read and comprehend the depth of their mother's insanity. No other celebrity stalkers to date, including David Letterman's stalker Margaret Mary Ray, have ever used the Internet to further their criminal pursuits and more importantly, to deny the existence of their own flesh and blood children.

David Caruso - Birth of Caruso's Would-Be Assassin

A year ago tomorrow, The Stalker Chronicles went live on-line to track down and keep the Internet aware of the presence of David Caruso's fugitive Austrian stalker, Heidemarie Schnitzer. The first blogger to tackle this difficult task was a woman named "Rachel" whose DCWackoHunter Blog was the trailblazer. Rachel's blog was well-researched and outed Schnitzer for who and what she really is: a schizophrenic celebrity stalker diagnosed suffering from severe personality disorder with the potential to turn deadly. Unfortunately for all of us with a vested interest in seeing justice done, Rachel has moved onto other pursuits and her blog has not been updated in over a year.

If you have never had an opportunity to read Rachel's excellent account of how Heidemarie Schnitzer went from love-obsessed Caruso fan to hate-obsessed Caruso stalker and would-be Caruso assassin hiding behind hundreds of pseudonyms follow this link. We miss you Rachel, but we know intimately how much time and effort tracking Schnitzer involves. Once Schnitzer is captured and behind bars, our blog too will close down.

David Caruso - Stalker Does Not Remain Silent About Existence of Her Second Child

Posting denials is something we have grown accustomed to as standard operating procedure for David Caruso's fugitive Austrian stalker whenever she's confronted with the truth. Once again, Schnitzer's disclaimers have kicked into high gear. Over the last couple of days, we at The Stalker Chronicles have blogged about the possibility that Schnitzer has abandoned two children after being tipped off by an Austrian blogger. Schnitzer has of course denied all of this merely increasing the likelihood that it is true. Had she remained silent on the topic, we might have questioned our source. She did not.

We are therefore asking our readership to provide additional details on this young man if any are available. Does anyone know this child's name? Is he related to Katharina Sophie Putzer as a full-blood brother or is he her half-brother?

As we have indicated previously, the physical appearance of this young man bears a striking resemblance to not only Heidemarie Schnitzer, but to the father of Schnitzer's daughter Katharina Sophie, Christian Putzer. The name of anyone who furnishes The Stalker Chronicles with information will be held in the strictest confidence. However, we reserve the right to publish any reasonable tips that could lead to the identity of this young man.

David Caruso - Stalker Attacks Young Boy

We knew it was coming. To have expected anything different would have been remiss on our part. After publishing the photo of a young boy strongly suspected of being Heidemarie Schnitzer's child and brother of Schnitzer's daughter Katharina Sophie, Schnitzer's gloves have come off and she has moved into damage control.

For those who have followed the psychotic antics of David Caruso's fugitive Austrian stalker, it is well-known that whenever Dojo and I get remotely close to the truth about Heidemarie Schnitzer, her claws come out and her vindictiveness shifts into high gear. Plagiarizing Dojo's articles, adding bizarre spins, and spitting it back out on David Caruso has become so common place that it's amazing we even notice. Her outrageous behavior only serves to confirm what we already surmise to be true.

Just as we are learning from an Austrian blogger that Schnitzer abandoned not one, but two children, Schnitzer has seized the opportunity to attack the parentage of the young boy she was photographed with in much happier times. The Stalker Chronicles won't even link to Schnitzer's slander of this boy. If this child is indeed hers, what would motivate Schnitzer to bastardize her own son? The young man suspected of being Schnitzer's other child is probably in high school and like most teenagers, he undoubtedly spends a great deal of time on the Internet. Soon, if he hasn't already, this young man will read about Schnitzer's criminal stalking, murder threats and the Internet hate war she wages against David Caruso. Unfortunately, he will also read Schnitzer's verbal attacks on himself.

It is of the utmost necessity that the Austrian and Mexican authorities act quickly to locate and capture this dangerous fugitive. Heidemaire Schnitzer's "profound personality disorder" has now manifested into attacks on someone who quite possibly may be her own child. What won't this woman do?

David Caruso - IMDb's Dixiebabe IS Heidemarie Schnitzer

David Caruso's fugitive Austrian stalker, Heidemarie Schnitzer, continues her Internet stalking rampage albeit on fewer and fewer sites. Schnitzer's impact on Caruso boards and blogs is being felt less and less as people who frequent these sites quickly size up her dislike as an unhealthy hate obsession that stems from a mental imbalance.

Anyone familiar with the situation knows Schnitzer's drill. While hiding out on Mexico's Baja peninsula, Schnitzer scours the Internet 24/7 for any mention of the actor. If it's negative, she posts it verbatim on one of her multiple hate blogs. When the comment is positive, Schnitzer adds a negative spin. One astute person posted a comment on IMDb's David Caruso Board recently stating:

"Basically, when I don't like a film or actor I may (and this isn't always the case) go to their board and say ONCE that I don't like them/it and explain my reasons. But then I wouldn't keep going back to find all possible opportunities to put down that actor or film. Where as people that like an actor or film are much more likely to keep returning to the board to discuss with like-minded people about reasons why you like them. It des [sic] seem a bit of a waste of time, and you get all annoyed to keep slating someone. Why not just leave it be - you've made your point, let other people enjoy discussing GOOD things in peace. But yes Dixiebabe, you're right that forums are public and you are allowed to voice your own opinions about someone or somethings - whether you like it or not. I just guess it's human nature (normally) to keep wanting to talk about something you like, not about something you hate.

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.

David Caruso - Newsweek Picks Up Stalker Story

When the mainstream press starts picking up the sad tale surrounding David Caruso's fugitive Austrian stalker Heidemarie Schnitzer, you can bet your bottom dollar it's by design. Last November, the only press this story got was from The National Enquirer. It's a testament to the staying power of this story when a year later, venerable publications like the Associated Press, the International Herald Tribune and now Newsweek publish it. Schnitzer's threats to murder three people combined with the fact that she has fled Austria to hide out in Mexico's Baja region are being taken seriously. It's also affirmation for the arduous behind the scenes work that has been put into an effort to bring Schnitzer to certain justice awaiting her in an Austrian court room.

The wider circulation guarantees that one, more people are aware of the situation and two, law enforcement is working to bring a resolution. Tips to The Stalker Chronicles have increased twofold since Austrian Judge Guenther Boehler issued an international warrant for Schnitzer's arrest. If interest in this site from Mexican locales is any indicator, the story now possesses an urgency not before seen. We thank our readers for their continued interest and support especially during the seemingly endless dry spells when there has not been any news to report.
