The image showed Domino, 77, dressed in jeans and a blue striped shirt being brought to safety by boat - but his whereabouts remain unknown. Karen Domino says: "We're very relieved.

He was also trying to escape life as his family lived it. In summer 2000, the newspaper of Robert Schumann High School -- in the Bavarian town of Cham -- started a new column: "Burn - the List of My Enemies." The author,...
