Adva Lavie, a 29-year-old woman facing felony charges for allegedly stealing from wealthy individuals through dating apps, is now under investigation for drugging her former fiancé, billionaire Stephen Cloobeck, with ketamine. The LAPD obtained a warrant in August to search Lavie’s phone after noticing she was out without an ankle monitor during a July visit to a restaurant. Lavie’s alleged crimes include theft and burglary from wealthy targets across multiple states and countries, including a high-profile incident at the Coachella Valley Music Festival where she allegedly stole luxury items worth over $11,000.
