Spanish police are scouring old people's homes on the east coast of Spain as the hunt closes in on a 91-year-old concentration camp doctor, regarded as one of the most wanted Nazis still alive.

Investigators say there is a strong chance that Aribert Heim, who is alleged to have killed hundreds of prisoners at the Mauthausen camp in Austria, is still alive and living on the Spanish costas.

Dr Heim is regarded as the second most wanted former Nazi by the Simon Wiesenthal centre in Israel, after Alois Brunner, Adolf Eichmann's righthand man. The centre has offered a €10,000 (£6,800) reward for Heim, in addition to the €130,000 being offered by the German police.

The Spanish police's specialist fugitive section was yesterday checking old people's homes and looking for elderly Germans with private nurses in the Alicante region, an official source confirmed.
"They are going after him and think he may be in that region," the source told the Guardian.

1. we will be on a similar mission over the next 40 years or so

--the current crop of vampires will disappear into the hinterlands when their ghoulish ring is broken up--but there are many among us who won't rest until they are tracked down and brought to justice.

while they are all in one central location. Of course, if they end up fleeing the country, I wouldn't gripe; I just doubt that any other country would let them in for any amount of money.

4. oh of course I agree -- but they do have the resources and means

to disappear, like their mentors did.

The lesser players can go under the radar while the big guns are being flushed out.
