What Happened to Cari Farver? An INSANE Stalking Case
About this episode
Timestamps:
(5:10) - Chance Englebert Update
(11:15) - Cari Farver
Dave Kroupa and Cari Farver hit it off immediately on the day that Cari took her vehicle into Dave’s auto repair shop in Nebraska in 2012. They began seeing each other and both agreed that they only wanted a casual relationship. Dave had been seeing another woman named Liz Golyar prior to meeting Cari.
When Cari was given a job opportunity close to Dave’s home, he offered for her to stay with him to make her commute easier. Cari accepted and the two continued their easy-going relationship.
One day in November 2012, Cari seemingly changed. She started sending Dave possessive and obsessive messages and he decided to end things, saying he had dodged a bullet.
The messages kept coming, sometimes hundreds per week. Despite the electronic communications being sent, Cari’s family were becoming increasingly worried as they were unable to get in touch with her. After she failed to show up to her father’s funeral, they reported her missing.
Cari’s alleged harassment of Dave went on for years.
Police eventually began to investigate and what would unravel is one of the most bizarre cases we can recall. It was discovered that Liz Golyar (the woman Dave had previously been seeing) was behind the messages and years of harassment. It was also discovered that she had murdered Cari and disposed of her body.
As of October 2025, Cari’s remains have not been found.
