A new Netflix documentary — "Lover, Stalker, Killer" — examines the love triangle that led to the disappearance and murder of an Iowa woman.
"In this twisting documentary, a mechanic tries online dating for the first time and meets a woman who takes romantic obsession to a deadly extreme," the show's description reads.
Shanna "Liz" Golyar, from Omaha, was convicted in 2017 of murdering her romantic rival — Cari Farver, who was last seen in 2012.
Golyar stabbed her, burned the body, then impersonated her.
At trial, prosecutors said Golyar posed as Farver for several years in emails, texts and on social media, and actually confessed to the killing while posing as someone else.
Prosecutors said Golyar became obsessed with having a relationship with David Kroupa, even though he was dating Farver.
In 2017, Golyar was sentenced to life in prison for first-degree murder and an additional 18 to 20 years for second-degree arson. She will serve the sentences consecutively.
She appealed to the Nebraska Supreme Court, arguing the lack of a body meant there was insufficient evidence to convict her of first-degree murder. Golyar also argued her lawyers provided ineffective counsel.

The Nebraska Supreme Court rejected all those arguments.
At Golyar's conviction, a Douglas County judge said the defense's argument that the state could not meet its burden of proof without a recovered body was refuted by the "overwhelming amount of evidence presented by the state."
"Cari Farver did not voluntarily disappear and drop off the face of the Earth," Timothy Burns said during the hearing, "very sadly, she was murdered."
