Editing August Becker (section)

== Trial, conviction, and last years ==

In 1959, the public prosecutor's office in Stuttgart began a preliminary investigation into offenses committed by Becker, Albert Widmann and Paul Werner.<sup>[14]</sup>
 Becker was condemned to ten years prison, but on 15 July 1960, due to
his bad state of health he was released from detention and admitted to 
the home for the elderly at Butzbach.
<nowiki> </nowiki>When in 1967, the State Criminal Court in Stuttgart sent a summons to 
Becker, it turned out that Becker had been taken out of the Butzbach 
home on January 3, 1966 by persons unknown, and his current whereabouts 
could not be determined. On June 16, 1967, the Baden-Wuerttemburg state 
criminal police agency issued a bulletin to be on the look out for 
Becker. By then however Becker had been checked into another nursing 
home where he remained in a state of almost complete mental and physical
<nowiki> </nowiki>breakdown.<sup>[15]</sup> August Becker died on 31 December 1967.
