This Neuschwanstein - Bavaria Murder

 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.
