In the quiet heartland of Nebraska, an ordinary man named Dave Kroupa found himself trapped in a nightmare of obsession and terror after a brief romance turned into an unimaginable descent into horror. This chilling true crime story begins with a casual date and spirals into a relentless three-year saga of harassment, deception, and paranoia. After meeting Cari Farver, a vibrant woman with a troubled past, Dave’s life quickly escalates into chaos when Cari mysteriously disappears, leaving behind a trail of unexplainable messages.
Over the next few years, Dave is bombarded with thousands of threatening texts and emails from a shadowy figure, whose identity seems to remain just out of reach. But the torment doesn’t end there. The story delves deeper into the twisted web of lies, heartbreak, and obsession that leads to a disturbing revelation, unraveling a tale of stalking, manipulation, and a tragic loss that shakes everyone involved.
Join us as we explore the haunting case of Cari Farver’s disappearance, the terrifying consequences of a broken relationship, and the lengths a disturbed individual will go to in order to remain unseen—and yet, disturbingly, always present.
This is a story of deception, danger, and the unknown that will leave you questioning how well we truly know the people in our live
