--'Dr. Death'--

Aribert Ferdinand Heim (born 28 June 1914 – allegedly died 10 August 1992)[1] was a former Austrian doctor, also known as Dr. Death. As an SS doctor in a Nazi concentration camp in Mauthausen, he is accused of killing and torturing many inmates by various methods, such as direct injections of toxic compounds into the hearts of his victims. He is alleged to have lived for many years in Cairo, Egypt under the alias of Tarek Farid Hussein and reportedly died there on August 10, 1992 of rectal cancer. His grave and body have not been found.

The search for one of the Nazis' most notorious butchers, Aribert "Dr. Death" Heim, is over.
An investigation revealed that he died of colon cancer in Egypt in 1992.
Heim earned the grim nickname for activities at the Mauthausen Concentration Camp.
But news of his death has its doubters. Was it really him? Is he really dead?
Although Heim represents the worst of humanity, the story sparked our interest in other, less notorious fugitives.

Consider this guy: alleged racketeer, drug trafficker, leader of the Winter Hill Gang (sounds sort of nice, doesn't it?) and history buff. Watch for a library stakeout near you. Who he is.
Then there's this former missionary, skier, snowboarder, big spender, businessman and alleged murderer. Reportedly he escaped on a mountain bike after fatally shooting an armored-car guard. Who he is.

This man, an alleged police chief killer, was reportedly the 375th person to be added to the FBI's list. And right now he appears to have been on the list the longest, on the lam for 28 years. Who he is.

This woman remained at large for 23 years after playing a role in bank robberies in support of the Vietnam War. In 1993 she turned herself in and served six years in prison. Who she is.
Of course, the most wanted fugitive of all is still Osama bin Laden. Here's the reward that the U.S. is offering for his capture.
