The Gist: Dave Kroupa had just moved to Omaha to be near his two kids, whom he had with his ex-girlfriend Amy Flora. He was single for the first time in years and was looking for someone to have a casual relationship with. On the dating website, he met Liz Goylar, whom he dated casually for a few months. He then met Cari Farver one day when she came to his garage to have her car checked. When he came across her on the dating site a few weeks later, they went out and hit it off. She was also looking for something casual, and, given that he and Liz weren’t serious, Dave figured it would be fine to date both.
After a few weeks, Liz encountered Cari at Dave’s apartment when she came by to pick some things up. Soon after that momentary encounter, Dave got a text from Cari saying they should move in together. When he refused, citing the whole “let’s keep it casual” thing, Cari started texting him with crude and threatening messages almost immediately. Soon that escalated to threats against Liz and evidence that she was stalking him. The Omaha police detective assigned to the case tried to catch her in the act of stalking Dave but could never find her.
