Nazi hunters seek ‘Dr. Death’

From Times Wire Reports
Nazi hunters arrived in Chile on the trail of Aribert Heim, known as Dr. Death for killing hundreds at an Austrian concentration camp during World War II and who they believe may be lurking in Patagonia.
Heim, who kept the skull of a man he decapitated as a paperweight, is the most wanted Nazi war criminal still thought to be alive. He would be 94; his family says he died in 1993.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center is offering a bounty of about $450,000 for Heim.
