Currently, we have only basic facts.
Somewhere on Wednesday.....one American male tourist encountered two young American female tourist on the trail around the side of the castle. It was a friendly encounter, until the point where he was attempting to sexually assault one of them. In the end, he ended up pushing both down (off a bridge area)....where one died. The second gal (as of late yesterday) had been released from the local hospital.
The guy? Detained and being held. They suggest he is a tourist however....zero evidence of this so far. Age? 31.
What the Bavarians did say....since they assume he's not military-related....is that Bavarian law will apply. However, they did hint that once he's been sentenced....it' possible that a deal can be worked where he goes and spends his life in a US prison.
The fact that his identity isn't established in public news yet? Yeah, that is a odd part to the story.
The tourist angle not firmly established yet? Yeah, that also is a bit odd. One would assume he had a passport and his travel agenda was existing.
This ending up being a mental sanity review, and never charged for murder? Yeah, that is a fair possibility at this point. I don't think the Bavarians would want to shelter or keep him, but I doubt if you'd find some US state with the interest in volunteering to take his custody and guarantee lifetime handling in a facility. I'd also question how you'd transport the guy back to the US.
