Uwe Böhnhardt (1 October 1977 – 4 November 2011) was a German right-wing extremist and, together with Uwe Mundlos and Beate Zschäpe, were two of the three core members of National Socialist Underground, a neo-Nazi terror group that included scores of associates providing logistical support to the core trio.
It is believed that Böhnhardt was killed in 2011 by Mundlos in an apparent murder-suicide.Police identified traces of Böhnhardt's DNA on a fragment of fabric found near the site at which the missing girl Peggy Knobloch was found.
Subsequently, German police retracted that claim when it was discovered that a DNA error had occurred.
