"What have I done to deserve being locked away? I do not deserve this horrible torture. God cannot exist if He allows His creatures to suffer like this. And there is no one coming to my rescue.” These were some of the words Blanche Monnier scratched onto the walls of the dark room where she was imprisoned, punished for loving the wrong man. A man her mother simply could not accept. Blanche was in her mid-twenties when she was locked away, and she would remain in that small, airless room for another twenty-five years before she saw daylight again.

In July 2008, tragedy struck in a parking lot when a well-liked teacher and mother of three, Genai Coleman, was shot and killed during a carjacking. The attack was cold, calculated, and completely senseless. Police immediately launched an intensive search for the person responsible. Before long, the evidence seemed to point clearly in one direction, towards a man who perfectly matched the description given by witnesses and seen on security footage. Investigators even confirmed that his DNA had been found inside Genai’s car. But as the case unfolded, it became clear that something was terribly wrong. The police had the right DNA profile, but they had somehow arrested the wrong man.

In April 2007, two German police officers were found shot in their patrol car in the city of Heilbronn. When forensic investigators examined the crime scene, they were surprised to discover a female DNA profile that also matched traces found at a number of other unsolved crimes. The same genetic evidence had been identified at burglaries, thefts and several murders, in total around forty different crime scenes across Germany, Austria and France between 1993 and 2009. It appeared as though the same woman was moving seamlessly across Europe, leaving behind death and confusion, yet without ever being seen. She became known as “The Phantom of Heilbronn”, and the hunt for this mysterious figure would go on to become one of the most extensive and widely discussed police investigations in German history.
