The Search for Josef Mengele
After the 1944 "War Criminals" list came out the search for the most Josef Mengele began. All Allied forces began to believe he was dead because there was not trace of him. 15 years later rumors began that he was alive. In 1959 an arrest warrant was issued for him. in 1985 Rolf Mengele's home was raided and everything was seized. Rolf was taken in custody and questioned to see if he had any clue where his father was. The family of Mengele ended uo finding him, but never turned him over to authorties. When he died they had his body cremated so there was no forensic evidence of Josef Mengele and his expirments. The family denies all allegation of cremating him, Rolf Mengele, Irene Schönbein, and Martha Mengele, will remain in Brazialian custody till death.
