The Simon Wiesenthal Center has received leads that "Dr. Death" Aribert Heim, the center's most wanted Nazi war criminal, is alive and living in Patagonia, Chile. The center's chief Nazi hunter is due to travel there this week.

The hunt for "Dr. Death" Aribert Heim, the Nazi war criminal wanted for murdering hundreds of prisoners in concentration camps during World War II, has intensified after the Simon Wiesenthal's chief Nazi hunter received fresh leads during a visit to South America.

Efraim Zuroff, a Holocaust historian who heads the center's Jerusalem office, told media that he had received information that Heim was in the Patagonia region of southern Chile, where his daughter lives.

"In the last few days we've received information from two different sources, both relating to Chile, which we think have very good potential," said Efraim Zuroff, according to the Reuters news agency.

Heim, who would be 94 if he's still alive, was an Austrian medical doctor in the SS. He is alleged to have murdered hundreds of concentration camp inmates with experiments that included injecting poison into their hearts. He tops the Wiesenthal Center's list of most wanted Nazi war criminals.

Heim decorated his office with human body parts during World War II, even using the skull of a man he decapitated as a paperweight.

Zuroff is currently in South America to promote "Operation Last Chance," the Wiesenthal Center's initiative to obtain information that could lead to the prosecution and punishment of the last surviving Nazi war criminals.

Funny, but I just completed my Alyia papers today.

Bought a house already.

Mrs. MWT & I are going to dicuss with our oldest daughters. They are none too eager, and it may change our minds.
