In 2012, mechanic Dave Krupa moved to Nebraska. Krupa had just gotten out of a long-term relationship and was looking to meet someone new. Like many people in today's society, he turned to online dating, and after creating a profile, he was quickly matched with several people. Among them was Liz Gollier, a single mother and animal enthusiast.

The relationship between Krupa and Golyer was enjoyable, but Krupa did not want a serious relationship. Keeping things casual was the name of the game. Later, he met Carli Farber at an auto repair shop and, without thinking, asked her out on a date. She accepted.

Here the story takes a dark turn at a shocking pace.

Lovers, Stalkers, and Mistresses is a disturbingly compelling portrait of what happens when the line between attraction and obsession becomes blurred.

Rolling Stone's Chris Vogner praised director Sam Hobkinson for "creating suspense throughout," noting that the document's cinematography and editing "add to a sense of disorientation and instability." Meanwhile, Richard Roper of the Chicago Sun Times called the film "truly bizarre and chilling." This is certainly a strong advertisement for true crime content.

Nick Shager of The Daily Beast argued that "even in the crowded field of true crime, 'Lover, Stalker, Killer' is something of a doozy." Glenn Kenny of The New York Times noted that after watching the documentary's horrific events, viewers in committed relationships "will breathe a sigh of relief that they are out of the dating pool."
