The Murder Of Cari Farver True Crime Documentary

Cari Lea Farver, a 37-year-old Iowa woman, was last seen leaving her lover Dave Kroupa's house in Omaha, Nebraska, on her way to work. Her mother reported her missing to the Pottawattamie County Sheriff's Office in Council Bluffs, Iowa, a few days later, but the investigation was soon went cold.

Farver appeared to be alive and well on Facebook, but because authorities couldn't authenticate that the posts were written by her, she was still listed as a missing person. Shanna "Liz" Golyar was arrested and charged with her murder on December 22, 2016. Golyar was charged with first-degree murder and accused by prosecutors of posing as Farver online to conceal her crime.

According to the Omaha World-Herald, shortly after Golyar's arrest, police said they thought Farver was killed on November 13 or 14. Despite the fact that Farver's body has yet to be discovered, prosecutors claim Golyar's memory card had images of Farver's decomposing foot, which had a tattoo, and thigh. According to KETV, Golyar was also found to have written an email detailing the murder from a bogus account posing as another woman.

Golyar said in those emails that Farver had been stabbed in the chest and stomach, burned, and then thrown in a dumpster. On May 24, 2017, Golyar was convicted guilty of Farver's first-degree murder and second-degree arson. “Cari Farver did not willfully disappear and drop off the face of the Earth,” Douglas County Judge Timothy Burns stated after reading the decision, according to KETV.

Guess I Lost My Virginity to a Corpse: The Kevin Davis Murder Case

Davis bashed his mother's head in with a hammer

Summary: Corpus Christi resident Kevin Davis strangled his mother before hitting her in the head with a hammer, splitting her skull. Davis then ‘swirled’ her brain around before sexually assaulting her corpse. Davis was sentenced to life in prison for the crime of a mom who he described as “The best.”

In 2014, Kevin Jazrael Davis argued with his mother, 50-year-old Kimberly Hill, in the Corpus Christi, TX, apartment he shared with her and his sister, Destinee. On May 26, Davis called 911, reporting that he’d just murdered his mother. Once at the police station, then 18-year-old Davis vividly detailed the day’s events, sometimes with a smirk on his face. What he told detectives was gruesome and shocking: Kevin admitted bashing \Hill’s head with a hammer, swirling her brain around, and then, sexually assaulting her corpse.

"I'll Kill My Mom Instead"

On the morning of March 27, 2014, Davis, bored and frustrated with life, told his mother he did not like people and that he wanted to commit suicide. Obviously caught off guard by the statement, Hill allegedly told her son that she could not stop him if that was what he wanted to do. Kevin later told police hearing this from his mother enraged him. It was then he decided to take her life.

As Hill sat on the couch in the living room, Davis came up behind her, attempting to strangle her with a cord. Hill began screaming. Kevin panicked, retrieved a hammer, and began bashing in his mother’s skull. Davis struck his mother in the head with the hammer at least 20 times, splitting her skull in the process.

Davis then retrieved a kitchen knife and used it to insert inside his mother’s head wound. He swirled her brain around “to make sure she was dead,” Kevin claimed and then inserted his hand inside the wound. He would tell detectives during a taped interrogation that his mother’s brain felt like “putty.”

Kevin then dragged his mother’s lifeless body to her bedroom and raped her corpse. When he finished the sadistic act, he went to a neighbor’s house, saying he just killed someone and needed help. The neighbor dialed 911.

This is the interrogation of Kevin Davis.
