What happened
Four-year-old Annie Borisova disappeared in Athens in 2015, and the investigation soon centered on her father.
The investigation
Police found evidence contradicting accounts that the child had wandered away and developed a homicide case despite the difficulty of recovering complete physical evidence.
What the courts or investigators concluded
Her father was convicted of murder and received a life sentence; another man was convicted of lesser involvement.
Why the case remains significant
The case shocked Greece because the victim was very young and because the investigation had to establish a killing after an initially reported disappearance.
