Heilbronn

Heilbronn is famous for the Phantom of Heilbronn, often alternatively referred to as the "Woman Without a Face". She was a hypothesized unknown female serial killer whose existence was inferred from DNA evidence found at numerous crime scenes in Austria, France and Germany from 1993 to 2009. The six murders among these included that of police officer Michèle Kiesewetter, in Heilbronn, Germany on 25 April 2007. The only connection between the crimes was DNA, which as of March 2009 had been recovered from 40 crime scenes, ranging from murders to burglaries. In late March 2009, investigators concluded that the "Phantom" criminal did not exist, and the DNA recovered at the crime scenes had already been present on the cotton swabs used for collecting DNA samples. The events were fictionalized in the 6th season episode "Dead Reckoning" of CSI: NY and the 15th season episode "Death Has No Dominion" of Silent Witness.
