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people have e-mailed stating the link to the Associated Press article dated October 28, 2008 no longer works and has been archived by the AP.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.

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 - Stalker Declares Genaro Luna Doesn't Care!

Again, Heidemarie Schnitzer's hubris is alive and well. Just yesterday, David Caruso's fugitive Austrian stalker declared "they don't care" referring to Mexico's Top Cop Genaro Garcia Luna and Baja's Governor Jose Guadalupe Osuna Millan. This according to an indicted celebrity stalker who failed to appear for two court hearings and now is claiming to have inside knowledge of Mexico's law enforcement.

Schnitzer's crocodile tears and false claims that Mexican authorities are waiting for her to surrender before they act are so ridiculous on their face that they are simply signs of further decline of Schnitzer's mental faculties. The Mexican government caught up with Schnitzer in 2007 and sent her packing to Austria. And they will most assuredly catch up with her again. For those who missed Schnitzer's jewel on TV Guide's CSI Miami Board, here's her admission for all the world and Mexico's police to see:

"What exactly have you achieved? Six weeks have gone by since the Internationl Arrest Warrant has been issued and the results are NADA.
You are desperate for some attention at all reduced to post absolute BS like "Top Cop hunts alleged stalker" or "Climate of fear blah. blah" when in reality nobody lifts a finger nowhere. Manhunt? My ass!
They don't care.
And as long as the allged stalker won't come forward herself there won't be any results.
Whatever you have to be proud off - may be exist in your fantasy only. You can spam this board over and over again with the same BS it won't change a thing. Now that's what I call a FAILURE.
A force to be reckoned with? Well, more three aging women with too much time at their hands. You are a joke - buts thats it."

David Caruso - Genaro Garcia Luna Hunts Down Latin American Hater and Stalker Heidemarie Schnitzer

For several weeks now The Stalker Chronicles has focused on local government officials, particularly the Mayors of Baja, California in an effort to publicize the fact that David Caruso's stalker, Heidemarie Schnitzer, is now sought under an international warrant. Today, we are focusing our efforts on Mexico's federal personnel who actually will be charged with arresting Schnitzer and ultimately deporting her to Judge Boehler's Austrian jurisdiction.

Today, we would like to introduce The Honorable Genaro Garcia Luna, Mexico's Secretary of Public Security and the country's top police official. Senor Luna, who has his work cut out curtailing the drug cartels, is now faced with locating and capturing an Austrian fugitive who has threatened the lives of three people, including Liza Marquez, a woman of Latin American descent. Heidemarie Schnitzer's white supremacist declarations and her well-documented hatred of Latin Americans creates very serious issues where Mexico's citizens are concerned.

When Senor Luna's policia federal finally locate Schnitzer, they will need to do so with weapons drawn. Schnitzer is known to be armed and extremely dangerous. With Schnitzer at large in a country full of Latin Americans, fears are mounting she may snap at any given moment. For that reason, officials feel a sense of urgency to bring closure to this matter before lives are lost and the public's safety is compromised.

David Caruso - Climate of Fear Prevails In Mexico's Baja

The Stalker Chronicles would like to applaud Mexico's all out manhunt now underway for David Caruso's fugitive Austrian stalker. For years, Mexican law enforcement has been faced with mounting problems posed by the ever present drug cartel. The climate of fear in this area has increased with residents and tourists alike becoming noticeably uneasy.

Baja citizens now find themselves dealing with an even more insidious criminal; one who walks amongst them. Heidemarie Schnitzer, the mentally unbalanced celebrity stalker who has threatened three people with death including a woman of Latin American descent, lives and works on the Baja peninsula. Schnitzer, who has managed to blend in with the locals so as not to cast any suspicion on her true identity, is armed and extremely dangerous. Residents in the area are privately expressing concerns that it's only a matter of time before Schnitzer's "severe personality disorder" causes her to snap and commit a serious crime.

It has long been feared that Schnitzer would breach the U.S./Mexico border to hunt down David Caruso and his family. With the recent issuance of an international warrant, Schnitzer's mobility has been severely restricted leaving Baja residents in fear for their lives. Schnitzer's known hatred of "Latinas" as she refers to them, should make her capture a very high priority for the Mexican feds.
