In this episode of Serial Streamers Murderish host, Jami Rice is joined by Criminologists and fellow podcasters, Dr. Meghan Sacks and Dr. Amy Shlosberg. The women discuss the Netflix documentary: Lover, Stalker, Killer which details the murder case of Cari Farver and the woman who was responsible for her untimely death, Liz Golyar. 

Jami, Meghan, and Amy share their thoughts on this bizarre and tragic case from the perspective of being women who work in the True Crime space. Meghan and Amy’s commentary on this case is particularly insightful given they are both seasoned Criminologists and also because their podcast, Women & Crime, focuses on crimes involving female victims, perpetrators, and women who work in the criminal justice system. Toward the end of the discussion, Jami and Meghan are surprised to discover they both share a personal connection to one of the crimes committed by Liz Golyar and they each share their stories.

Follow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club! Serial Streamers club members “meet” in the comments on Jami’s Instagram, TikTok and YouTube channel and share their thoughts and opinions about the documentaries we’re watching.
