de Kaplany, former beauty contestant and dancer, his wife of one month, whom he tortured
and murdered by making countless cuts in her body and pouring sulfuric and nitric acid into
the open wounds until she died, in 1962 in San Jose, California; he was sent to prison for
life; he was released by the California parole board in a controversial decision that allowed
this savage killer to be released so that he could become a missionary physician at a clinic
in Taiwan; he violated his parole by saying that California no longer had jurisdiction over
him once he was in Taiwan and moved to Germany, where he worked as physician in a
hospital until his murder was exposed and he was fired; he became a German citizen
so that he could not be extradited to the U.S., for prosecution of his parole violation.
