Ep 137 Part 1- ”World Filled with Nuts” – A Tangled Web: A True Story by Leslie Rule

Part 1: After discussing CrimeCon 2025, the Ellen Greenberg case, and the upcoming Wildlife CSI, Jill dives into one of the most twisted and convoluted true crime stories ever told! Dave Kroupa, recently single, joins an online dating platform where he meets Liz and then Cari. Not seeking a serious relationship, he finds amazing chemistry with Cari, making Liz, who wants more, jealous. Out of the blue, Cari suddenly leaves, completely abandoning her previous life. Bitter and scorned, Cari begins harassing and cyberstalking Dave, Liz, and others, harassing and stalking. The police believe she has suffered a nervous breakdown, but how can they stop "Crazy Cari" from making everyone's lives miserable? Welcome to one of the most intricate, twisted, and puzzling true crime books you'll ever encounter, where nothing is as it seems!
