Right. There was an incident in Europe, I believe, where law enforcement thought they'd identified an individual responsible for a massive international crime spree.
What they'd actually identified was the factory worker who packaged the DNA collection swabs.

It‘s known as „Heilbronner Phantom“ (phantom of heilbronn). Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heilbronner_Phantom https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heilbronner_Phantom
