How long before this shows up on CSI?
For many years, police in Germany have been searching for a female serial criminal. The woman’s DNA had shown up at 39 different crime scenes, including seven murders, committed over a period of fifteen years.
Her DNA was found over and over again: in bottles, tank lids, on bullets – and once even on a biscuit!
Traces were found in southern Germany, Austria and France. Thousands of saliva tests were taken but there was still no answer.
She was one of Europe’s most wanted criminals. A €300,000 reward was offered for information leading to her arrest.
Last week, however, the search was called off and the case declared closed. The mysterious woman works at a factory that makes cotton swabs used to collect DNA samples.
A full report is posted at Der Spiegel.
It already was on an episode a few years ago.
How could I have missed it?
