Keine verwertbaren Spuren/ Schleyer-Mord bleibt unaufgeklärt

Who shot Hanns Martin Schleyer?
Over decades investigators don’t find an answer, not even with newest forensic methods. The former terrorists from the Red Army Faction keep silent. After 36 years.
Hanns Martin Schleyer was kidnapped on September 5, 1977, in Cologne to free imprisoned RAF leaders like Andreas Baader and Gudrun Ensslin. His body was found on October 19, in Mulhouse, France, in a trunk of a car. It was the climax of the Red Army Faction, also known as Baader-Meinhof Gang. It was the German Autumn, Deutschland im Herbst.
Schleyer was the prototype enemy for the German student movement and the radical left due to his role in the huge business organisations, like the Confederation of German Employers’ Associations, and his past as an officer of the Nazi SS.
Will his murder ever be solved? Rolf Heißler was the last suspect after the controversial RAF dropout Peter-Jürgen Boock claimed that he had been the shooter. Now the federal prosecutor has called off the investigations. “Der Spiegel” wrote there was no evidence for Boock’s allegations. It’s not possible to convict Heißler who already was sentenced to lifelong for the murders of two custom officers from the Netherlands. Heißler was released in 2001 on probation.
