SOLVED: Iowa Case | Carrie Farber, Age 37 | Digital Deception & Justice Restored (2012–2017)

In November of 2012, Carrie Farber, a loving mother, talented programmer, and devoted professional, disappeared from her life in Macedonia, Iowa, leaving behind her teenage son and a thriving career. For years, rumors spread that she had abandoned her responsibilities and spiraled into obsession—but the truth was far more horrifying.

Behind Carrie’s disappearance was Liz Golyar, a woman who meticulously created a digital illusion, impersonating Carrie and tormenting everyone in her life with threats, harassing messages, and calculated deception. From stolen identities to staged emails, fake social media accounts, and scheduled texts, Liz’s actions masked a brutal murder while destroying reputations and lives.

Join Forensic True Crime as we unravel this shocking cold case, revealing the relentless investigation, digital forensics breakthroughs, and the painstaking detective work that ultimately restored Carrie’s name and brought her killer to justice. From examining thousands of messages to uncovering trophy photographs and tracing digital fingerprints, this documentary exposes the lengths a predator can go to hide the truth—and the persistence required to bring justice.

Carrie’s body was never recovered, but her legacy lives on through her son, Maxwell, who now honors her memory as a software developer, and through the Carrie Farber Memorial Scholarship Fund, supporting students in information technology at Iowa Western Community College.

This is more than a story about murder—it’s a story of obsession, deception, resilience, and the pursuit of justice.
