A mystery woman whose DNA has been linked with half a dozen murders, is being
hunted by police in the German city of Heilbronn. The murders have earned the
woman the name "the woman without a face" as police have no other clues to go
on.
Police have no idea what the woman looks like or her age. Only traces of DNA
found at the murder scenes can link the mystery woman once she has been caught.
The first traces of DNA date to 1993 when a woman of 62 was found strangled at
her home.
Last year a police woman Michele Kiesewetter was murdered in cold blood. She
was found with a shot to the face, police believe Michele approached the
murderer, who then panicked and shot Michele. Police say they are closing in on
the mystery killer.

forbidden by law from buying (or renting, one supposes) the violent but less
graphic Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas." He said he was not supporting violent
videogames.
Rather, King thinks the parents should step up and "have the guts" to ban
violent material in their homes. "Videogames, like movies, have a ratings
system, and ones with the big M or A on the box mean 'Not for you, baby
brother'."
