Jack Unterweger
Johann "Jack" Unterweger (16 August 195029 June 1994) was an Austrian serial killer who murdered prostitutes in several countries. First convicted of a 1974 murder, he was released in 1990 as an example of rehabilitation. He became a journalist and minor celebrity, but within months started killing again. He committed suicide following a conviction for several murders. Austrian psychiatrist Dr. Reinhard Haller diagnosed him with narcissistic personality disorder in 1994.
== Early life ==
Unterweger was born in 1950 to Theresia Unterweger, a Viennese barmaid and waitress, and an unknown American soldier whom she met in Trieste. Some sources describe his mother as a prostitute. His mother was jailed for fraud while pregnant but was released and travelled to Graz where he was born. In 1953, his mother was again arrested and he was sent to Carinthia in southern Austria to live with his grandfather, whom he described as a violent alcoholic.
He was in and out of prison during his youth for petty crimes, and for assaulting a local prostitute. Between 1966 and 1975 he was convicted 16 times, mostly for sexual assault and spent most of those nine years in jail. In 1974, Unterweger murdered 18-year-old German Margaret Schäfer by strangling her with her own bra, and in 1976 was arrested and sentenced to life in prison with no parole option for 15 years. While in prison, Unterweger became an author of short stories, poems, plays, and an autobiography, ''Fegefeuer oder die Reise ins Zuchthaus'' (''Purgatory or the trip to prison''), which was adapted into a motion picture.
In 1985, a campaign to pardon and release Unterweger from prison was undertaken. President Rudolf Kirchschläger refused the petition when presented to him, stating that Unterweger must spend the court-mandated minimum of 15 years in prison.〔 The campaign gathered momentum among the Viennese cafe intellectuals, Vienna’s radical-chic set, writers, artists, journalists and politicians who agitated for a pardon, including the author and 2004 Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek, Günter Grass,〔 Peter Huemer and the editor of the magazine ''Manuskripte'', Alfred Kolleritsch.〔 He was released on 23 May 1990, after the required minimum 15 years of his life term. Upon his release, Unterweger's autobiography ''Fegefeuer oder die Reise ins Zuchthaus'' was taught in schools and his stories for children were performed on the radio. Unterweger himself hosted television programs which discussed criminal rehabilitation, and he reported as a journalist for the state broadcaster ORF (Austria's equivalent of the BBC), including reporting stories concerning the very murders for which he was later found guilty.〔〔
