Yisroel Pensack: Nazi-era Luftwaffe Nurse, Founder of Chile-based Anti-Semitic Religious Sect and Convicted Child Abuser, Dies In Prison; Was Under Investigation in 1985 Disappearance of Jewish Penn State University Math Professor

The New York Times reports:

A former Nazi-era German soldier who founded a secretive German cult in southern Chile, where he sexually abused about 25 children, died of heart failure at a prison hospital early Saturday, Chilean officials said. He was 89.

The former soldier, Paul Schaefer, was serving a 20-year sentence for the sexual abuse of minors, but he was also under investigation for the 1985 disappearance of Boris Weisfeiler, an American citizen who vanished while on a hiking trip.

The Chilean government said officially that Mr. Weisfeiler, then 43 years old, drowned while trying to ford a river. But State Department and C.I.A. reports that were later declassified indicated that he was probably kidnapped by Chilean state security forces, who then handed him over to Mr. Schaefer
