Dave Krupa

He was being watched.

He had been sent photos to prove it.

Woke up one morning to find a message scratched on his car in huge letters.

There was no doubt who did it, because Carrie took credit in an email.

In the months since Carrie disappeared and started this untethered behavior, Dave, the easygoing car mechanic from Omaha, had become a bundle of nerves.

What did that do to you personally?

Locked me down.

uh socially i wouldn't would certainly not go out of my way to talk to people in general because i didn't know who was gonna be who knew her you know and for all i know i

go have a drink at the bar and I'm talking to you and you're fronting for Carrie and getting my information or whatever.

And, you know, I was exceptionally paranoid.

I just, I was lurking around every corner, you know.

Drinking more?

Yeah, for a while there, I was drinking heavily, which is not me.

There's never been a time in my life where I was a real drinker, and I spent... Did your weight change?

Gained 30 pounds, 35 pounds in about three months.

I was drinking until the bar closed and going to work at 6 o'clock in the morning.

Wow.

There was, however, one habit that Dave continued despite his experience with Carrie.

He was still casting about for dates on those dating sites, where he found a woman named Angela Manor.

Within a day or two of meeting online, Dave and Angela became friends on Facebook.
