New Netflix crime doc, 'Lover, Stalker, Killer' has reached the 'most watched' recommendations on the streaming site after leaving viewers 'shocked and disturbed.'
There's enough twists and turns to make you feel dizzy with this one.
The true story begins with Dave Kroupa, a recently single divorcee, who ventures into the world of online dating in hopes to find something 'casual and fun', while completely unaware that the situation would turn dangerous and deadly after meeting Cari Farver.

Kroupa and Cari were seeing each other briefly, before he was bombarded with constant obsessive, threatening texts from multiple numbers threatening his life and viciously abusing him.
The documentary follows as Cari's obsession with Dave takes hold, ramping up with each scene as she gets more desperate for attention, but viewers have noted there's a couple of 'unhinged details' that have been left out of the programme.
With the documentary being 90 minutes long its expected that a few details would have to be clipped, but viewers have uncovered some pretty big plot points that were not included.

A court document that was uncovered by internet sleuths showed that 'Cari' wrote a resign letter to her employer stating that 'Shanna Liz Golyer' will be 'taking her place in the job', which led to some confusion.
One Redditor posted: "I know a lot is condensed for documentaries, but it seems like there were a lot of moments when the police should have been called IMMEDIATELY.
“Since they knew early on that this was a dangerous person that they were dealing with, why was there not a manhunt?”

Later in the documentary its uncovered that Liz had murdered Cari and had been posing as her in order to stalk Dave. Crazy stuff.
However, no body was found so police, well, they didn't do much which also raised flags with viewers.
One commented: "They can harass you, call you dozens of times, follow you around… But as long as there’s no physical attack, they won’t do anything."
Another asked: “Why didn’t the police look more into Cari Farver’s disappearance especially after her car was found wiped down of any prints except one on the mint candy thing,” to which another replied, “Honestly, and this is just my opinion, I think they just figured she was a ‘crazy ex’ and decided it was voluntary.”

However, a photo was found in Liz's apartment of Cari's body as well as multiple fake accounts and a photo of Cari's car and Liz was trialed and sentenced to life in prison.
