Dutch national TV said she took a cab to a metro station and disappeared: https://nos.nl/artikel/2399798-96-jarige-verdachte-van-nazimisdaden-vlucht-voor-rechtszitting

What a story!!! https://www.zeit.de/gesellschaft/2021-09/landgericht-itzehoe-prozess-stutthof-sekretaerin Google translator: "Arrest warrant for the ex-secretary in the Stutthof concentration camp Around 65,000 people died in the Stutthof concentration camp near Danzig. A former concentration camp secretary is on the run at the start of the trial. A trial against a former secretary in the German concentration camp Stutthof near Gdansk begins before the regional court of Itzehoe in Schleswig-Holstein. The 96-year-old defendant Irmgard F. faces more than eleven thousand cases of aiding and abetting murder and several cases of aiding and abetting attempted murder. According to the indictment, she worked in the camp from 1943 to 1945 as a typist and typist for the commandant's office. She is charged with helping those in charge of the camp with the systematic killing of prisoners. However, the defendant is fleeting. The district court had issued an arrest warrant, said the presiding judge Dominik Groß. The woman left her home in the morning and took a taxi to a subway station, said a court spokeswoman. Therefore the trial against the former secretary of the management of the Stutthof concentration camp was delayed right from the start. International Auschwitz Committee criticizes the accused's escape The flight of the defendants caused outrage at the International Auschwitz Committee: "This shows an incredible contempt for the rule of law and also for the survivors," said Vice Executive President Christoph Heubner. The committee represents concentration camp survivors and their relatives. An estimated 65,000 prisoners, many of them Jews, died in Stutthof during World War II. The camp near Danzig gained notoriety for the catastrophic supply of the inmates, which the SS consciously accepted, and who mainly died of exhaustion and illnesses. Most of the victims died as a result of the hostile conditions. At least 200 were murdered in the gas chamber and a locked train car with Zyklon B. 30 were killed in the secret shot in the neck in the camp's crematorium. Several trials against former members of the Nazi camp teams have recently taken place in Germany. In July 2020, the Hamburg district court sentenced a former security guard in Stutthof to two years probation. The court found the 93-year-old guilty of complicity in murder in 5,230 cases."

Irmgard Furchner has not appeared at court and is now being searched for arrest: https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/itzehoe-ehemalige-kz-sekretaerin-vor-prozessbeginn-geflohen-a-6c4e3e70-4d54-4e33-b27c-610d1cc03346 (sorry, paywall, but something else will come up)
