In October of 2012, 37-year-old, Cari Farver began casually dating Dave Kroupa, however 2 weeks into the relationship Cari suddenly disappeared. Although Cari had essentially vanished physically, Dave was soon being bombarded by texts and emails from Cari and the harassment was not limited to just Dave. Another woman who Dave had been casually seeing, Liz Goylar, was also being harassed by threatening texts and emails supposedly from an incredibly jealous Cari. The harassment continued for years, but finally in 2015, investigators were able to track down the source of the harassment as well as the truth of Cari’s whereabouts.
