Nazi hunters arriving in Chile Wednesday, say they are on the trail of Aribert Heim, whose hundreds of killings in an Austrian concentration camp during World War Two, earned him the nickname “Doctor Death”.

He is a doctor who murdered hundreds of people in the Mauthausen concentration camp by injecting gasoline directly into their hearts. Fully documented by Aribert Heim himself, by the way, he is the one who recorded all the operations that he carried out, and all the murders that he committed, and that’s what makes him the most wanted Nazi war criminal in the world today.

The investigators from Jerusalem’s Simon Wiesenthal Center are traveling to the Chilean town where Heim’s daughter lives, following new evidence they say points to a hiding place in the Patagonia region of Chile, or nearby Argentina. At 94, Heim is possibly the last Nazi war criminal alive, A 450,000 dollars bounty is being offered for his arrest. Heim’s family claims the fugitive died in 1993, but a Berlin Bank account and stocks and bonds in his name that total more than three million dollars still have not been claimed, that would require proof of Doctor Death’s death.
