What is the plot of 'Love, Killer, Stalker?'

In 2012, Dave Kroupa, a recently divorced father of two, connected with Liz Goylar on a dating website. As Kroupa was only interested in a casual fling, he established his boundaries and made it very apparent to Goylar.

Subsequently, he met Caro Farver, and the two hit it off instantly and began to date, which irked Golyar. Kroupa's life suddenly took a dramatic turn when Farver vanished into thin air and he began to receive hate messages from her.

The documentary will provide answers to questions like, Where did Farver go, and why is she sending hateful messages to Karoupa?
