Films or series based on true crimes captivate the audience with their dramatic stories, mystery and surprise to learn that they really happened somewhere in the world.

What is ‘My Daughter’s Killer’ on Netflix?
The poignant French documentary tells the story of André Babersky, a father who refuses to accept the diagnosis that his 14-year-old daughter Kalinka died of apparent choking on food.
Through interviews and archive footage, director Antoine Tassin presents the testimonies of those involved and Andre Bamberski’s crusade to seek true justice for his daughter’s death.
In this way, it shows how the father spends his life in France and Germany fighting to solve the crime and arrest the person allegedly responsible for his daughter’s murder, but the justice system and obstacles in his way stand in his way.
The suspect in the crime is Dieter Krombac, Kalinka’s stepfather, who is a famous cardiologist, but seems to be hiding something on the day of the girl’s death.
The following section contains “spoilers” about the story of “My girl’s killer” on Netflix and the true crime on which the documentary is based. Read on to find out how the case ended.
The true crime and story behind ‘My girl’s killer’ on Netflix
The story of this crime goes back to Germany on July 10, 1982, when the stepfather calls an ambulance because Kalinka appears to be dead. However, the attending nurse realizes that the minor has been injected with calcium.
Dieter Krombach admitted that he injected her with calcium because he thought she was suffering from heatstroke. Although the nurse commented that, upon hearing his statements, the mother burst into tears and Krombac was agitated but calm.
The father learned of his daughter’s death and traveled from Germany to France, upon arrival he noticed several inconsistencies in Krombach’s story and upon receiving information about the autopsy he is convinced that the stepfather abused and killed her.
An autopsy revealed that the 14-year-old died from a combination of Isoptin, Novidigal and Cortisone in her body, as well as injuries to her private parts.
However, this did not lead to a rigorous investigation of the adoptive father in Germany, and the country refused to extradite him to France to stand trial, but other testimonies emerged from women he had raped under anesthesia.
Finding himself cut off from his company for years to bring Krombach to justice, the father decides to kidnap him and present him himself to the French authorities to be convicted of murder and rape.
The documentary “My Daughter’s Killer” shows this whole tragic story as told by father Andre Baberski and others involved in the case. It’s available on Netflix.
