This week on Hot Mess Murder Club, Kat and Holly take you back to 2012 — when online dating was thriving, boundaries were “clearly communicated,” and absolutely no one thought a casual situationship could spiral into a multi-year psychological nightmare.

Dave Kroupa just wanted something light.
No commitment. No drama. No moving in.

You know. The famous last words.

Enter two women.
One intense, one steady.
And within weeks, one of them disappears.

Except she doesn’t exactly… go away.

Dave’s phone starts lighting up with threats. Then more threats. Then thousands of messages describing where he is in real time. Cars get vandalized. Tires get slashed. A fake obituary pops up. A brick flies through a window. A house burns down.

Totally normal breakup behavior.

For three straight years, the harassment escalates while police juggle a missing person case and a stalking investigation that refuses to behave logically. No confirmed sightings. No clear physical trail. Just digital chaos and a narrative that seems airtight… until it doesn’t.

Kat walks you through the timeline.
Holly tears apart the logic.
And together they try to make sense of a case where everyone thinks they know who the villain is.

Spoiler: It’s not that simple.

This one is messy.
It’s obsessive.
It’s manipulative.
And it proves that sometimes the scariest thing isn’t what you see… it’s what you’re told to believe.
