Case 211: Cari Farver
Added 2022-05-07 08:59:11 +0000 UTCThe Station 61 crew of the Omaha Fire Department were just over an hour into their shift on Saturday, August 17 2013 when they were called out to a house fire two miles south. Within a matter of seconds, the firefighters had pulled on their safety equipment, raced to their truck and left the station.

ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES. Y’all my podcasts on Apple say I have 6 unplayed episodes out of the 200+

2022-05-22 02:15:36 +0000 UTCJust when you think you know where the story is going, it twists again! What a crazy one that was!

2022-05-19 01:52:15 +0000 UTCI ended up listening to the audiobook of A Tangled Web after listening to this episode ! Great job !! This case was quite a ride.

2022-05-15 02:27:17 +0000 UTCHolyshit, I forgot this case! What an incredible episode! Mike’s production made everything feel so new. 🥰 I already knew what was gonna happen, but I was so edgy and stressed. Haha! Great writing, great everything! Definitive journalism on this case by the team.

2022-05-14 23:15:04 +0000 UTCSuch incredible writing. I watched the 20/20 episode and they had led with their coverage with "but there's a twist" but the writing was so well done that I didn't even know it was the same case until the gun in the park. This is the second episode now that Casefile has delivered a twist with such magnificence. The team is really doing incredible work.

2022-05-14 09:25:19 +0000 UTCOne thing that stood out to me was the podcast never addressed why the police weren't doing more to look into or even arrest Cari after the admissions to the fire and smashing the window etc. It then made more sense later - they wouldn't have been able to find her if they tried. Even to impose a restraining order. But it was still a bit confusing as a listener going through everything she was doing with not much response or action from authorities.

2022-05-14 06:30:11 +0000 UTCWhat a crazy twist! As it was revealed she went missing from her family and friends I was first under the impression Cari had faked her own death so she could dedicate her life to tormenting Dave and Liz!

2022-05-14 06:28:25 +0000 UTCI came here to say the same thing! I’ve heard this case covered before, but didn’t realize until I was about halfway through. Brilliant! This telling is remarkable.

Emma Brown
2022-05-10 21:18:52 +0000 UTCI had to go watch the 20/20 episode immediately after listening to this episode. So many twist and turns I had to double dip to wrap my head around this case. Nice work as usual Casefile team

2022-05-09 23:38:05 +0000 UTCOn Friday I listened to another podcast cover this case but in a much shorter way. 24 hours later, Casefile do a 75 min version. Weird coincidence but had to happen eventually. This is a truly crazy and bizarre story and even though I knew where it was going, your version had new details I didn’t know.

2022-05-09 17:20:35 +0000 UTCNo. I must be in a time shift. Literally THIS episode. The Applebees part, all of it. Like I know I heard it all before recently. Either I accidentally got it even earlier or I am totally losing my mind.

Candice Williams
2022-05-09 13:48:47 +0000 UTCI came on here to comment the same thing. Picturing her being caught but not acknowledging it and continuing on with her crawl just caught me so off guard, I had to bust out laughing. And then they describe it as her slithering away, I kept on laughing 😂

2022-05-09 13:27:46 +0000 UTCI thought this was the most disturbing way to word that. 😂 I imagined something right out of the X-Files.

2022-05-08 00:33:08 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you guys covered this case! Because of the close pov I didn't realize what case I was listening to until pretty far along, and even then I was doubting my own memory of what happened! Such a tragic, nihilistic death. And the idea that her ex spent 8 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit is jawdropping -- not something I've heard other podcasts discuss when they cover this case. Excellent work as always.

2022-05-07 20:28:20 +0000 UTCThe nested story telling is just absolutely incredible. It's like perceived realities are told in segments leading up to the final, authentic reality. So well done
Cameron DelaCerna
2022-05-07 20:25:31 +0000 UTCIt's a case that's been covered on several other true crime podcasts (understandably), but not on Casefile before. It does bear some similarities to the Amy Allwine case and the case of the schoolteacher who was accused of harassing her colleague, which was also a bonus Casefile ep. It's also very similar to the Michelle Hadley case, which Casefile hasn't covered (yet).

2022-05-07 20:24:24 +0000 UTCI swear I already heard this episode - maybe last weekend? Anyone else?
Amanda
2022-05-07 17:37:18 +0000 UTCThis is, hands down, the most amazing true crime story I have ever heard or heard of, ever. Absolutely incredible research and storytelling. I’m almost sad because I feel like nothing this good can ever be produced again! Great detective work too, to be able to piece it together at last, thank God on behalf of the victims and their families. Hopefully podcasts like this raise awareness/knowledge/techniques to help solve more crimes for those whose lives are destroyed by them.

2022-05-07 16:10:48 +0000 UTCWow, the music on this episode was incredible. I loved the guitar bit about an hour in. I’m definitely going to listen to this case again because the twist was mind blowing . Great job casefile team your storytelling never ceases to amaze me.

2022-05-07 15:37:04 +0000 UTCThe level of research this podcast does is incredible. I live in Omaha and this was the best coverage of this particular case I've ever come across. It was far more involved and detailed than any local coverage I've seen. This area has experienced shocking number of high profile murders/crime in the past decade. They all seen to involve people and places very familiar to me. It's really quite sad. I even know someone who was (falsely) arrested and detained for the murders committed by Nikko Jenkins. I'm always impressed by the professionalism and kindness of this podcast.
