THIS FRIDAY NIGHT '20/20' REPORTS ON A TWISTED AND FATAL LOVE TRIANGLE. COULD THE STALKER AND THE VICTIM BE THE SAME WOMAN?

A Woman's Seemingly Obsessive and Threatening Messages to an Ex Precede a Stunning Twist After Authorities Suspect She's Dead

'20/20' Airs Friday, Dec. 4 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EST) on ABC

A new "20/20" reports on a twisted, fatal love triangle and the shocking truth on whether or not the stalker and victim are the same woman. After Cari Farver disappeared from her Iowa home, her friends and family received text messages from her number claiming she embarked on a new life. Although skeptical of the texts, her loved ones could not prove they were illegitimate. At the same time, Dave Kroupa received a strange and sudden breakup message from Farver's number after only dating her for a few weeks. Kroupa quickly regretted ever meeting Farver as he, his on-again off-again girlfriend, Shanna "Liz" Golyar, and others in his life became the targets of obsessive, hateful messages from Farver's number. Kroupa began to fear for his life as the message content escalated to stalking and threats. In a stunning twist, authorities began to suspect that Farver was dead and hadn't sent any of the messages. Who was pretending to be his dead ex-girlfriend? The two-hour program untangles the complicated case, answering questions about what happened to Farver and who sent the messages. "20/20" features an in-depth interview with Leslie Rule, author of a book about Farver, "A Tangled Web," and shares exclusive correspondence she received from Golyar about the story. The program also includes new interviews with Kroupa and Nancy Raney, Farver's mother. Sargent Jim Doty, Deputy Ryan Avis and Special Deputy Anthony Kava take "20/20" through their investigation, step-by-step, and reveal how they cracked the case. "20/20" airs on Friday, Dec. 4 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EST) on ABC.

"20/20" is anchored by David Muir and Amy Robach. David Sloan is senior executive producer. Colleen Halpin is senior producer, and Gwen Gowen and Gail Deutsch are producers of this episode.
