Danijela Klete lived a peaceful life.
She walked the dog and gave private math lessons to the neighborhood kids.
But when she was arrested at the end of February, police found tens of thousands of euros in cash and five different weapons, including a Kalashnikov and a replica rocket launcher, in her Berlin apartment.
Klete (65) was on the run for more than 30 years.
She was wanted for crimes related to the left-wing militant Red Army Faction (RAF), which was active in Germany from the 1970s to the 1990s.

Known in the early days as the Bader-Meinhof group, the gang sought to achieve political goals through the kidnapping or assassination of senior members of the business and industrial communities.
The RAF's notoriety prompted a team of Berlin-based podcasters to try to track down Klete using facial recognition technology.
The podcast aired just before Christmas, just a few weeks before her arrest.
But police deny any connection.
She says that she received a tip from the citizens.
The crimes of the RAF have not been forgotten in Germany, despite a generation having passed since they were committed.
They continue to excite the imagination of film and television producers, who make big-budget feature and documentary series to recreate the assassinations of the 1980s and 1990s.
"The RAF is deeply rooted in the collective subconscious, at least in West Germany," says Petra Terhofen, an expert on the history of political violence at the University of Göttingen.
Later this year, for example, German television will air a new four-part series about Alfred Herrhausen, the head of Deutsche Bank, who was assassinated shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

Netflix's first original series for the German market in 2020 A perfect kill dealt with the assassination of Detlev Rovhveder.
He was the head of the Treuhandanstalt, an organization established after German reunification to privatize all state-owned industry in the former East Germany.
Rohveder was killed by a sniper shot through the window of his house in Dusseldorf in the spring of 1991.
In no case were the perpetrators caught.
The Netflix series was produced by the Braća Bic production company.
Recalling its creation, one of the directors, Georg Çurchenthaler, says that the goal was to find a project that the whole country would talk about.
"The topic had to be big and relevant," he says.
"She had to make a lot of noise."
The perfect crime, although it mentions a letter found at the crime scene in which the RAF claims responsibility for Rohweder's murder, presents a number of different scenarios as to who could have killed him.
For Churchenthaler, the background of the murder is important - the rapid closing of a large number of industrial companies in East Germany and the loss of millions of jobs.
"It's a dark period that resonates to this day," he says.
Petra Terhofen, a historian, warns of the danger of trivializing the crimes committed by the RAF.
She notices too much emphasis on the perpetrators and too little sympathy for the victims.
The victim who received perhaps the most attention was Alfred Herhausen, a charismatic and influential banker and personal friend of then-Chancellor Helmut Kohl.
The four-part series will be followed by a new documentary later this year.
Herhausen is also described in prose, written by the writer Tanja Langer.
"While I was writing the novel, it was very important for me to make a dedication to that person," she says about her own book.
The novel, a testimony of the relationship between a young woman and an older man, a banker, is written from personal experience.
Langer and Herhausen were close friends for several years before his death.
Although the RAF claimed responsibility for Herhausen's murder, Tanja Langer thinks the truth may not be so simple.
She spent several years researching material for the novel and spent a lot of time in the archives of the former East German secret police, the Stasi.
"I eventually concluded that even if the RAF had carried out the murder, there may have been others involved," she says.
This unknown part still arouses great interest of people.
There are still many unsolved murders from the eighties, and it is possible that Danijela Klete, now behind bars, knows something about them.
Not long before she was arrested, the Berlin-based podcast company Andan was determined to find her.
They were contacted by a listener who told them that he was at a party where a woman claimed to be Klete.
"It was a crazy story," says Patrik Stegeman, who worked on this series.
Andan brought in an artificial intelligence expert, who used facial recognition software to scour the Internet for images that matched Kleta's image from her old warrant.
That image managed to pair with a woman who today lived as "Klaudia", not far from where the podcasters worked in an old industrial plant in Berlin.
But when they went to look for her, they couldn't find her anywhere.
Two months later, when Daniela Klete was arrested, it became clear that they had identified the real woman.
Patrik Stegeman recalls hearing the news of the arrest.
"I was overcome with a whole mix of emotions," he says.
Prosecutors are currently going through dozens of boxes of evidence and have yet to file charges against Kleta.
Petra Terhofen is skeptical about whether she will provide any help.
"Most ex-RAF members don't talk about the past," she says.
"It's like a political sect to you, it's a cartel of silence. And that's why they probably still won't say anything."
