For over 13 years, there were numerous sightings regarding his whereabouts. During his visit to the United Nations in 1993, he was handed a service of process for a civil claim under the United States of America's Alien Tort Act. Shortly after going into hiding, he assumed the identity of a holistic doctor under the aliases of "D.D. David" (aka Dr. Dragan David Dabić) as well as Petar Glumac, in which he received a Croatian passport under. He was helped by numerous people as a fugitive, including Bosko Radonjich, the Serbian leader of the New York-based Irish-American gang The Westies. In 2003, his mother encouraged him to surrender. In 2004, it was learned that one of the brothers of a Serbian war criminal was killed in a raid by the Republika Srpska police, perhaps to silence him as he was about to provide insight about Karadžić. In 2005, he was spotted near Foca, with the BBC later remarking "Western intelligence agencies knew roughly where they were, but that there was no political will in London or Washington to risk the lives of British, or U.S. agents, in a bid to seize" him and Mladić". Bosnian Serb politicians and his wife encouraged him to surrender and his son was arrested but later released. As a holistic doctor, he lectured in front of hundreds of people about alternative medicine and even had his own website, offering treatment for sexual disorders using what he called "Human Quantum Energy" and wrote in publications. In 2007, there were sightings of him in Vienna, Austria, with Austrian police actually interviewing him but not recognizing him as a part of an investigation for a nearby homicide. He used the Petar Glumac as an alias and claimed to be in Austria for training. He appeared calm and the Austrian police decided not to fingerprint him or ask further questions. He was also reported to have visited Venice, Italy where he would attend Serie A football matches. In January 2008, the passport of one of his close relatives, leading investigators close to his whereabouts. On 23 July 2008, Karadzic was captured in Belgrade after a tip-off lead to surveillance. He had shaggier hair, a long beard, and glasses at the time of his arrest.
