There was a guy who was a suspect for a murder because his prints were found on a window at a crime scene. He worked at the factory where the window had been made.

Imagine if she started doing crimes after being informed but before the standardization revisions went into effect. The perfect alibi.

"Did you know my DNA was found at over 40 crime scenes? Im totally innocent though." Id love to be able to creep people out by leaving out the contamination part 😂

"Man these DNA swabs are pretty expensive. Let's just buy qtips what's the worst that could happen?"

As soon as you said Germany I said Oh I know this one, but I stayed for the whole thing just to see all your drawings, and I'm glad I did. The unicycle one cracked me up. Also can you imagine spending half your career on this case then realizing what really happened? I'd take early retirement.

This was so shameful and a big scandal here in Germany!!!

The illustration of her licking bullets at a random shooting made me lol

Police: “Your under arrest for over 40 counts of murder, theft, and other petty crimes.” Ms Heilbronn: “But I just work at a factory” Police: “Yeah yeah tell that to the judge lady”

Yet another serial killer gets away unpunished. Wait a minute…….

Wow, for a moment, I thought it was about "la mata viejitas" a female serial killer that targeted ELDERLY people, mostly elderly women. Edit: Thanks for the corrections. I'm actually serious.

Another cereal killer not eaten =((

They do DNA tests for stolen half cookies in Germany? Remind me to never go there!

*Never ask:* *A man:* His salary *A woman:* Her age *The German Police Department:* The true identity of the "Phantom of Heilbronn".

I can only imagine in my head some officers building the case and as years go they have a crazy wall of different pictures, cases, etc with a bunch of red string going randomly on a map as they smoke cigarettes stressing “who is this woman” then when they find out they do a walk of shame as they enter back at their office looking at their wall of nothing

I wonder how many people had their cases thrown out or got a re-trial because of this??

I sort-of had this one figured out in the first few minutes. I figured it was a DNA lab worker. Then the “multiple labs” angle tripped me up. The factory worker was a sweet twist! The truth is truly stranger than fiction!

I want to see the alternate universe where Florida Man, the Phantom of Heilbronn, and Prawo Jazdy were all like, actual individual people going around causing mayhem and mischief.

I used to work in a q-tip (swabs?) factory 20yrs ago when I first came to the USA from Bosnian war. Interesting that this woman did too.

As a German I already knew the story, but I just like hearing you blabbering every friday!

licking the bullets had me rofl

As a long-time viewer, I must insist you refer to you previous pronunciation of 3. 🌳

We supposedly got a serial killer on the loose down here Texas way. They keep pulling bodies out of the lake.

I've heard of this woman. I always thought she was terrible at her job and contaminated what should have been sterile swabs. I did NOT think the police were DUMB enough to use swabs that were never certified sterile.

I'd tell everyone and insist they all call me "The Fixer"!

Oh he’s back back!

Heilbronn is right around the corner from where I grew up. It was a common anecdote told around our parts after the story was finally revealed. Nice to see you talk about it. People really need to know the sensitivity for errors when dealing with these sorts of technologies.

Your art makes an incredible statement when paralleled with the storyline, to tears! Utmost admiration & a sincere thank you for blowing right past overly competent.

Another great video. Your artwork, subject matter and sense of humor will keep me watching everything you put out. Thanks for the entertainment.

This is like a far higher stakes version of the Polish-Irish driver’s license debacle.

The swab sitting at a school desk taking a test was the drawing that pushed me over the edge.

I mean this one is on the police for not using something that was regulated to the proper use...

I just love your uploads Qxir! I'll never quit watching!

I had heard of this but thought it was an urban legend. I am now quite shocked....

i was somewhat right in my assumption that one of the forensic scientists couldve been accidentally contaminating the samples

Absolutely incandescent! What a great story, beautifully told and illustrated ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Through a series of coincidences I was on the FBI's list of possible suspects in the Uni Bomber case. I was working within a hundred yards of where an outdoor bomb went off targeting some yuppie collegiate communications technology engineer. My motorcycle caught some shrapnel from that. I was a tech at a another nearby company. I sort of looked like that shitty drawing they had of him back when I had hair but I never wore a hoody in my life. Later while working in another state another bomb went off right across the street from my shop injuring a small girl. I had a military, explosives, private military and anti terrorism training background. I was working as a tech in the communication and information technologies field at the time those went off and I was a vocal anti technology technician due to even then the privacy and dehumanization issues that were emerging with it's use and advancements. Those two bombings though were never directly related to him. The one where the girl was injured turned out to be a stupid teenager pulling what he thought would be a prank and he offed himself before he could be arrested. The other is still a mystery as far as I know but that guy had a lot of enemies and owed some nasty people a bunch of money so it was most likely a mob hit. Other than the bombs being well made but heavily improvised from junk parts the delivery of them didn't match Ted's MO. It still got me on the list though until his capture and was causing me hassles in keeping my security clearance at the time.

How tf did they not figure it was contamination for so long? We all did before halfway through an 8 min vid!

I remember this was mentioned in an Adam Ruins Everything video on police. Glad to hear more than a few seconds of the story

Didn't CSI:NY make an episode about this?

Your drawings and commentary are always delightful additions to your videos 😂

I love this story! Love your videos Qxir!

Great episode!

The combination of clickbait title, genuinely mysterious and baffling leadup, and hilarious conclusion (also the unicycle picture) absolutely master class well done

2:50 - 3:00 the Italian police finding the DNA of Giorno Giovanna at dozens of crime scenes over the span of 9 days

Frame at 7:03 is golden 🤣🤣

200+ videos 1 mil Subscribers & I remember when you said that you didn't know if you'd be able to make it doing RU-vid full time. You're getting there, brother. Just keep up the great work. PS Even if a dozen other channels have already done videos about a subject, people will still watch your video on the same subject. Your down to earth nature, humorous dialogue and simple, yet fantastic, artwork make it worth watching, not because we expect to learn more about the subject but because we like the way you tell us about it.

Man. What a blast from the past. I learned this in school what feels like a thousand years ago. In high school, psychology class.

OH MY GAWD U UPLOADED AGAIN

"Huh this woman is crazy! So many different crimes committed in half of europe! Now pass me those cotton swabs that we always order from that one specific factory, which always result in us getting her DNA"

even though i've heard this story so many times you still found a way to make it feel novel and hilarious, god bless you

@Qxir man I sure wish you get way more subz bro and keep pumping out more videos! I love your content man! Keep it up!

I really enjoy this channel, I get my bedtime story read to me every night! Always an interesting listen!

BLAB ON, MY DUDE! I liked the riddle format too!

Back to Back! I thought they got you for a second

I love when we get new videos. One of my favorite RU-vid channels

Thank you for all your work, sucks that youtube seems out to get you

Oh, now that makes sense the woman was working at a factory and accidentally contaminated the swabs.

Congratulations on hitting one million subs!

I love that 1980s computer game noise for the Unknown Woman Icon.

2:59 - just leaving a stamp here, just so I can immediately come back to this picture whenever I could use a good laugh.

Love the art as usual. Thank you for the great video.

oh no, i dont wanna be that grandma

Thank you for the video

Crazy how it took the police this long to figure it out when my first thought after the 3 minutes was "yeah it's probably something going on at the factory these are being made".

That’s a pretty huge oversight if the officers and investigators are not even collecting sensitive evidence correctly. They don’t just need to be sterile swabs, they must be free of any DNA contamination as well. Those swabs often cost extra, especially if they are certified with a solid paper trail for lot number and testing. The fact that someone along the line didn’t realize the importance of buying the correct swabs is concerning, though. I would think anybody in the lab would know about this, so I’m guessing there was a break in communication between the lab and the police.

I was fitting that MO as i used to be an inspector of residential homes "elderly, children's, nuns etc" but thankfully I ruled myself out on the grounds that I was nowhere near any of them at the time thankfully.

Great video, as always. I'd buy some merch if i wasnt broke as hell lol

One of the few times I knew how the story ended before the video was finished. Still a fun watch as always.

With all the new pronoun protocols and rules and such these days, "UNKOWN WOMAN" takes on a *_WHOLE NEW MEANING!_*

reminds me of your video on all the traffic violations committed by the same one "guy".

5:03 Bless you

I loved the art in this one. Especially the crazy lady with the axe!

I knew exactly where this was going once you mentioned the heroin needle. I was like, "DNA contamination." And low and behold, yep.

As someone who works in a research lab with DNA I pegged contamination from the crime lab after the gun story but its still insane she contaminated SO MANY samples. Aaaand now that i watched the whole video it makes a lot more sense. Non sterile swabs for DNA collection is quite funny but i imagine easy to do of you're not at all familiar with the idea that everything you (or someone else) handles has little pieces of you on it.

Never thought you would cover that one, i literally live in Heilbronn

Imagine how many men (who committed the crimes) were never pursued because police thought it was a women.

It took me a minute to remember this story, but I did...but my wife told me there were facts I hadn't heard before, so I'm watching this.

My hypothesis - it’s a set of identical twins or triplets who are all vagabonds, one is a drug addict, one does B&E’s and car thefts, one is a serial killer who hates old people lol

I knew what this story was even before I even clicked but I like to see your funny take on things

Thanks for the LOL before work on my Friday funny story kind of ridiculous

5:45 almost spilled my drink laughing😂😂😂

I love this story, saw it on Q.I. and Today I Found Out, but your take is well better. Trouble is, now it's harder to actually solve all those crimes. So I guess I don't love it so much, just something quite interesting that I found out... hint hint sources for more stories..... i'd love your take on some of their random shit

Reminds me of the blind man on a train who asks a fellow passenger where the train had stopped, and was told Cheltenham. The next time, he asks the same passenger and gets the same reply. After the third attempt, he asks another passenger to double check and was told that the sign the first passenger had been reading actually said Gentlemen... x

imagine being wanted for years and not even knowing it

As far as I remember they got a major lead in this case when they tested unused swabs and still her DNA was mysteriously there :D

Wow. The extent of stupidity has no bounds.

How they didn’t figure this out on the like the third or the fourth case is beyond me.

great video! this reminds me of the polish license plate situation

People out there getting aprihended for "possible hate speech" and then you get this

Ah, yes. 2 Prawo 2 Jazdy.

What a conundrum

Mad how the 61 year old man lived in an exact mirror of the first womans house, even down to a left-handed microwave!!

I wonder if anyone convicted of a crime was able to use this to appeal. Wouldnt this cast doubt on a dna based conviction ?

Another masterpiece by my hero Qxir❤

Think about all of the time, money, and effort that probably went into trying to find this "unknown woman" by all of the different detectives and personnel from all the different agencies, while simultaneously (possibly) ignoring other possible leads because of the reliance on DNA, only to find out what actually had happened.

That girl on the unicycle should have its own t shirt

I assume she work in the crime lab or make the evidence collection swab?

The more worrisome thing to me is that there's a non zero chance there could have been a few enough degrees of separation where that woman could have been implicated in a crime.

I certainly hope they improved sanitation standards for the consumer level swabs as well. Damn.
