  • In 1949, with the aid of his family and former SS contacts, Mengele escapes to Buenos Aires in Argentina, obtaining a West German passport and identity card under his own name in 1958. Agents of Mossad, already occupied with the capture of Eichmann, did not capture Mengele. By the time the Eichmann operation had been successfully completed, Mengele had disappeared. Mengele was brought to America to prevent revealing of knowledge of his collaboration with American Business men during the war.
  • He still lives there under the alias Martin Slinaz. He has been identified as the "Zodiac Killer" from photo-fit matches. He has remained very young looking from numerous face lifts and his practice of canabilism.

No he isn't dead yet:

  • Mengele died from a stroke while swimming on February 7th, 1979 at Enseada da Bertioga, near Sao Paulo, Brazil, but is buried under Wolfgang Gerhard's name, an ex-Nazi war criminal. News of his death does not reach the world until 1985.
