ARD Releases Three-Part Documentary Reexamining Daniel Küblböck’s Disappearance

The film presents Robin Gasser’s intimate account of their 2014–2017 relationship alongside archival footage to deepen understanding of Küblböck’s identity without yielding fresh forensic leads.

Overview

  • The ARD series “Die Küblböck-Story – Eure Lana Kaiser” premiered around what would have been his 40th birthday and revisits his public career, violent childhood and presumed death after vanishing from the AIDAluna in September 2018.
  • Robin Gasser describes loving Küblböck “bedingungslos” during their 2014–2017 romance and details how their Berlin-Baden-Baden separation caused lasting emotional strain.
  • The documentary reports that Küblböck began living as Lana Kaiser and allegedly took hormones before his disappearance, noting these medical claims remain unverified.
  • Archival recordings and new interviews chart key moments such as his 2003 DSDS breakdown and signs of psychological distress in the weeks leading up to his disappearance.
  • No new forensic evidence has emerged and Küblböck’s body remains unrecovered, leaving the exact circumstances of his overboard vanishing unresolved.
