December 5th, 2015, more than three years after Carrie Farber disappeared.

It was the day after Liz Gawyer visited police to turn the case on its head.

By telling the police that the stalker terrorizing her and Dave Krupa was not Gary Farber at all.

But Dave's ex-girlfriend and the mother of his children, Amy.

As Liz said later, she needed some time alone to think.

So, late afternoon, she got in her car and drove to the park by the river,

a big lake park it's called. And then she got out and took a walk along the trail there

and sat down on a bench. It was quiet. Liz was alone in the gathering cold and dark of a December evening.

And that was when the silence was snapped by the deafening bark of a gun.

And the pain tearing through her thigh.

I'm Keith Morrison, and this is Something About Carrie, a podcast from Dateline.

Episode 4, A Shot in the Dark.

I've been shot in a lake.

Is the estate still nearby?

I don't think so much think so I took home burning.

Do you know if it's male or female?

Oh, female.

It was just after 6.30 p.m. when the council bluff's PD roared out to Big Lake Park and found a wounded

and bleeding Liz Gawleyer and packed her off to the hospital while a chopper

trained down a searchlight and cops on the ground scoured the paths and bushes for the shooter

a detective checked on Liz at the hospital his name is Matthew Coleman you could tell she you know

she was in pain yeah imagine obvious wound to her leg.
