Liz Golyar and Dave Kroupa were involved in an online dating scenario that turned into a nightmare. Liz became obsessed with Dave, leading to a series of manipulative and violent actions.

Liz Golyar deceived Dave Kroupa by sending him threatening messages and emails, pretending to be Cari Farver. She also staged her own house fire and shot herself in the leg to appear as a victim.

Digital forensics played a crucial role in solving the case by uncovering evidence on Liz Golyar's phone, including a photo of Cari Farver's car and calls made to Cari's residence using the *67 prefix to disguise her number.

Cari Farver's family, particularly her mother, initially believed she was alive due to Facebook messages they received from her account. However, these messages were later revealed to be part of Liz Golyar's deception.

After being convicted of first-degree murder and second-degree arson, Liz Golyar was sentenced to life in prison without parole. She continues to maintain her innocence despite the evidence against her.
