Michéle Kiesewetter (* 10 October 1984 in Oberweißbach; † 25 April 2007 in Heilbronn), a German police officer, was killed by Neo-nazi terrorists on 25 April 2007 in Heilbronn, Germany. Her colleague was shot in the head and seriously wounded in the same incident. The perpetrators have also been implicated with the murders of nine other people, most with Turkish roots, between 2000 and 2006, the so called Döner murders.
Following her death, the investigation focused on the so called Phantom of Heilbronn. The investigations were concentrated in a special task force "parking lot" at the Heilbronn police department. In January 2009, the reward for clues regarding the whereabouts of the person was increased to €300,000.[1]
Her service pistol, a Heckler & Koch P2000, was later retrieved, along with that of her colleague, when Uwe Böhnhardt and Uwe Mundlos, two German Neo-nazis committed suicide in Eisenach, Germany on 4 November 2011, revealing the connection to the Döner murders.
