Dave thought Cari was the one stalking him, while it was Liz all along. He met Liz on a dating app in 2012 and were on and off for a bit until he met Cari when she walked into his auto repair shop in Iowa.
Cari and Dave dated for two weeks until she seemingly "broke up" with him over text. It was actually Liz using her phone, having stabbed Cari to death.
Liz kept up the ruse pretending to be Cari for years as she kept her victim's social media profiles active online. Cari didn't show up to her father's funeral or her son's 15th birthday party throughout that time, which seemingly didn't raise any red flags.
In its first two days the film got 10 million views (NETFLIX)She was only caught when police found a photo on her tablet of what appeared to be a decomposing and tied-up body. To further cement her guilt, another photo showed a foot that had a Chinese symbol tattooed which matched one that Cari had.
In the first two days of the documentary being on the streaming service, it amassed over 10 million views. Fans on Twitter are urging others to watch it.
"Can everyone please watch Lover Stalker Killer on Netflix it's bizarre and creepy," one fan wrote on Twitter. Another added: "Lover, Stalker, Killer on Netflix is a wild documentary. Highly recommend."
