“Only Mine”, a Netflix original film, begins by noting that it is based on a true story the story which is based on Laura Kucera. As the movie comes to a close, the following message appears:

Laura Kucera, according to Digital Spy, serves as a very loose inspiration for the film’s plot. In the Netflix original film “Only Mine”, Julie Dillon suffers abuse at the hands of a manipulative cop. Ultimately, the cop shoots Julie, who survives and exacts revenge on the cop by killing him. Does the film mimic Laura Kucera’s story? Not really. Julie Dillon is abused by a deceptive cop in the film. Finally, the cop shoots Julie, but she lives and kills the cop in retaliation. Is the film a retelling of Laura Kucera’s story? Not at all.
In the real story, Laura Kucera died a year after surviving two gunshot wounds to the head In the mid-90s after he was kidnapped by her obsessive ex-boyfriend, Brian Anderson.
Laura Jean Kucera was born on August 17, 1975, in Columbus, Nebraska United States. She is the daughter of David Kucera and Mary Kucera. She died on September 13, 1995, in Wakefield, Nebraska United States at 20 years of age.
Laura is not the only child of her parents, she has other siblings. She had two sisters Sabrina & Dorothy, and five brothers, Joseph, Mathew, Charles, Benjamin, and Patrick.
Laura took out a protection order against her obsessive ex-boyfriend, Brian Anderson. Laura was kidnapped and her kidnapper was her ex-boyfriend Brian Anderson who was at that time 22 years old. Brian Kidnapped Laura on Oct 1st, 1994, just days after finishing jail time. She was shot twice in the head and once in her shoulder and left for dead.
For months before the shooting, Anderson stalked and threatened Kucera in the aftermath of their breakup, prosecutors claimed. Kucera said most of all she was relieved the case was finally over and she could stop looking over her shoulder for Brian Anderson.
Laura’s kidnapper Brian Anderson left her for dead in a ditch, until he had second thoughts and led authorities to where he left her. Laura’s spirit was strong, as she survived four days in freezing temperatures (in just a t-shirt and shorts) until she was rescued.
Brian was arrested and arranged before the court. In May of 1995, during the trial in Ponca Nebraska, Judge Maurice J Redmond called Anderson a “bully” and a “coward” in sentencing him to 125 years in prison according to The Los Angeles Times. Laura Kucera’s real photos are not available on the internet at the moment. Neither are pictures of Brian Anderson, who shot laura.

How did Laura die?
Miraculously, Laura survived the shooting and regained limited use of her arms. Laura Kucera spent 51 days in a hospital and learned how to walk again. Although with difficulty she found her feet once again. Though she found her feet quick and recovered early, Laura died in September 1995, almost a year after the initial assault, in a car crash. Laura ran off a gravel road into a ditch, rolling her car, on the way to visiting her grandmother.
Laura Kucera was survived by 7 brothers and sisters and her parents: Father David, mother Mary, sisters Sabrina and Dorothy, brothers Joseph Mathew, Charles, Benjamin, and Patrick.
How was Laura’s Story Different from The Movie?
On January 15th, 2019, Netflix added a movie called “Only Mine” to its lineup. It is (very) loosely based on Laura Kucera’s story. In the movie, her boyfriend is a policeman (in real life, he wasn’t) and he is portrayed as much older than Laura (in the movie, Julie). The movie also doesn’t follow Laura’s courageous and difficult recovery as well as the accident that ended, within a year of the attack, in her death.
Furthermore, the victim in the film, Julie, was shot in the leg and back. Laura Kucera was shot in the head and shoulder and left in a ditch.
Julie’s injuries were severe but pale in comparison to Kucera’s injuries. Laura was unconscious when police found her, but Julie roused herself and got revenge by killing her abuser.
Kucera didn’t exact revenge on her attempted murderer, but the court system ensured that she got justice.
Commenting on the Movie, Gabriella Geisinger of Digital Spy said that the film doesn’t do justice to Laura and other abuse victims:
“Her [Laura’s] story is far more devastating than Only Mine makes it out to be, but neither does Only mine act as a sort of ‘wish fulfilment’ of what could have been for Laura Kucera. All in all, it’ll leave you bored and depressed, an execrable combination that Kucera, and all other victims of abuse, don’t deserve.”
