  Speaker 5: You're watching totally true crime. Today's case takes us to Broomfield, Colorado,
• 0:27
  Speaker 5: in the United States. In the autumn of twenty twenty three,
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: married mother of three, forty three year old Christille Krug
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: received a text message. It was a message asking her
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: if she wanted to hook up. When she looked at
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: who had sent it, it appeared to be from her
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: ex boyfriend. She thought it was odd, it was widely
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: known that she was married with children. She decided not
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: to reply, but this message was shortly followed by other messages,
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: but also looked like they were from her ex. Hadn't
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: been with him for over twenty years, and this sudden
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: attention was odd.
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: Christile did tell people that her ex had sent her
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: crude messages in the past. At first, the messages were
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: suggestive and sexual in nature, but they soon got more sinister.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: She'd get messages calling her names and telling her that
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: this person was watching her. Here are some of the
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: messages Christill received.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Are you there? You should say yes when I offer
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: pity sex? Saw your pictures? You got fat? Bet your
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: loser husband won't fuck your fat ass. You should kill yourself.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: You are a dirty slut, and I know how to
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: satisfy you. Admit that no one satisfied you since me.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I see you flirting with waiters, almost begging for sex,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: licking your lips and got your tits out. Don't know
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: how many fuck boys you kept, but I'll save you.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: He also threatened to kill her husband.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: You don't belong in that big house. You belong with me.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I'll get rid of him and then we can be together.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: So easy, give me the signal and he won't come home.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Every married whore I ever bang wanted to get rid
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: of their husbands. I'll do it for us. Help me
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: get rid of him, and then we can be together.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I'm planning a big birthday party for you, just me,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: you and twenty friends. I know you're a dirty slut.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I'll treat you right. You can be slutty with me.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I'll take you.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: These messages weren't just being sent to her phone. She
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: was also getting emails from burner accounts, as well as
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: deeply graphic pictures of a sexual nature. She decided to
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: report it to the police, and here is some of
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: the audio from her interview with an officer.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: When did you pop back up?
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: So?
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: First text message was back in October?
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Okay, just threats and just out of nowhere.
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: I haven't been doing it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: For her twenty years, Okay, so this is so.
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: This is the first time violent.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, Normally it's a year's ago.
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: Okay, So the last contact was I'm guessing more than
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: five years ago, just because it was last I had
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: a Facebook and I don't have that.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: I haven't had it since pre pandemic self.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, easily, like how many years before that?
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I'm completely at the blue and.
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: Not sees at all.
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: So there's responsibay.
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: And you still go in person stuff that's scaring the
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: crap enemy and why I loot. This was starting since
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: last Tuesday, and it's spent almost every day since.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, I've gotten.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: A few days break, and it's always been text message
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: or has it been any emails?
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: Any changings on our original kind of text messages into
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: She then started to get emails with photos attached to them.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: One photo was of her husband getting out of his
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: call at his office. The stool call was made by is.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: This his number? Where is he right now? What kind
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: of car is it? Like? Like this was alarming.
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: He's never said this kind of stuff to me, even
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: more so whatever and the fact that it went so
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: emotional is like something's really wrong here. Then things were dark, right,
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: And this is when I then contact you, guys, because
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: this now is escalating. This is not just threats against me,
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: streats against my husband. He contacts me and you'll see
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: my little lot that this is now this is an
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: email dress He contacts me now from more like he
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: actually reuses it, but he is.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Now showing that picture.
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: That day there's snow on the ground. My husband had
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: only gone into work on that Tuesday for Halloween.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Chrystill told her husband, done you about the messages that
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: she was receiving. He instilled full cameras around their house,
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: including one in the garage and one outside of their home.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: The messages were unrelenting, with Christie jumping every time her
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: phone made us out.
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: Unfortunately, like because this is now like so distracting and
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: so constant and it does it just like anytime I
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: mon buses.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: You don't know what's coming my direction. She told the
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: officers that it was affecting her ability to parent her
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: children and to conduct her work. She was a successful
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: biomechanic and a highly intelligent woman, but this stalking and
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: harassment was taking its toll on the whole family. She
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: bought a gun and she started target practice at her
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: local shooting range. She also hired a private investigator. The
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: police also started an investigation. They asked the couple to
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: keep a log of all the messages that they were
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: receiving and started to look into the communications. These things
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: often take time, so as the weeks went on, a
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: stalking intensified. Daniel and Christile named the stalker Kickman, because
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: they hoped that one day they would quote kick his.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Ass a Gmail account, a kick account that you guys
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: initially received with.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: The photo of you in it.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: Pristile was also worried that the stalker would target their children,
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: who were fourteen, eleven, and eight.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: What do we do to protect family?
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: To protect the kids?
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: To fine your threat level?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: She had a yup.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: She was armed on the fourteenth of December twenty twenty three,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Christile was at home and her husband was at work.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: She sent him a text message, and when she failed
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: to reply to his reply, which was to do with
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: arrangements for their children, he panicked. He tried to call her,
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: but there was no answer and subsequent messages went unread.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: He decided to call a neighbor to see if she
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: could knock on the door and check in on his wife.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: He also called the police meeting.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Hi there, my name is Dan Krug. I don't think
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: this is an emergency, but this feels really weird. My
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: wife isn't responding to text messages or phone calls, okay,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and we've had we've had threats against us. We have
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: both been targeted by a stalker. Threats have been made
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: against my wife and threatening to kidnap her, which is
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: why I'm nervous that she's not answering me.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: Officers arrived at the family home in Briomfield, Colorado, and
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: when they pull up, I notice a woman is looking
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: through the windows into the house. She explains that she's
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: a neighbor and that Daniel had asked her to do
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: a welfare check on his wife. Please tell her that
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: they'll take it from here. Hello, I was just on
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: the NEI.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he sent us as well, so okay, alrighty man,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: And they start looking through the windows, shining their torches
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: through them to see if they can spot any sign
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: of Christilee. They approach the garage door, which has a
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: window at the top of it, and the search for
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Crystille comes to a devastating end. The police can see
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: a woman matching Crystille's description lying on the floor of
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: the garage. The officers call for backup and medical as
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: they secure the home.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: One fifty one medical and one ten.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I need a fourth century.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I got a female down in the garage.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: At this point, they're unsure as to whether the person
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: who has caused the very visible injuries on her body
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: are still in the vicinity. The officers force entry through
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: the front door, and with guns drawn, they make way
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: to the garage, but it's too late. Christilee is dead.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: She's been beaten and stabbed to death. Whilst the officers
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: tend to the horrific scene inside the family home, Daniel
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: arrives and he's told that they believe his wife has
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: been murdered. He falls to the floor and neighbors rush
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: to comfort him. He tells the officers that he's been
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: married to Christile for over twenty years, and he also
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: tells them that they'd both been victims of a stalker
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: that they believe to be his wife's ex partner. The
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: officers discover that the security cameras that had been installed
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: around the family home had been turned off, something that
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Daniel said only could have been done via the app
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: that he and his wife had access to on their phones.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: The other detective, Ah.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: Said that the were turned off. That shouldn't have it.
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: The only way that the cameras turned off is through
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: the app. One of us has to.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Hit them button.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: The front doorbell camera had a strip of blue tape
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: across it and it hadn't captured anything either. The next
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: thing the officers did was try to locate Christille's ex partner.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: They discovered that he was an eight hour drive away
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: in Utah and his alibi was rock solid. When he
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: was told about the stalking, he had no idea what
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: they were talking about and denied all knowledge. So the
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: police looked at the email addresses that were responsible for
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: many of the threatening messages toward Christile, including the email
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: that had a photo of Daniel getting out of his
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: car in his office car park attached to it. They
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: looked at the email and found that the IP address
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: linked back to Daniel's office.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: A Gmail account, a Kick account that you guys initially
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: received with the photo of you in it and the
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: phone number. Those originated through their IP addresses at your office.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: Well, he took the phoo of me at my office.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Well, all of those accounts originated from IP address that
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: was to your office.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know what to do with that.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: Daniel had been the stalker this whole time. He was
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: the one terrorizing his wife and terrorizing himself to make
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: it look like he was also a victim. With this revelation,
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: the police now believed that Daniel had killed his wife.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: But why. As the police continued their investigation, they brought
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: Daniel in for questioning. They didn't let on straight away
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: that they knew that he was the one behind the stalking. Instead,
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: they let him talk. He continued to say that he
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: believed Christille's ex had been the one to kill her,
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: and that he was sorry that he couldn't protect her.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, who do you think, Who do you think
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: killed her?
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I think? Hey?
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: But then the police tell him that this other man
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: has an airtight alibi and that the IP address from
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: the emails that were trolling and stalking his wife had
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: been linked back to his office. Daniel denied any involvement
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: in the stalking and his wife's death. The police now
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: needed to do two things, understand why he would do
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: this and if he had been the one to kill her.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: As they started to look for a motive, it didn't
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: take long before they found one. Christill was planning on
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: leaving Daniel. Their marriage was on the rocks, and the
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: police theorized that he had started the stalking as a
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: way to make her need him, almost scaring her into
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: being with him.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I'm sure she has mentioned to you that she and
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: I are go through a rough patch cut on the rocks,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: so probably didn't seem that present until until.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: It was that Christille was a strong woman. She was
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: handling the stalking with an incredible amount of bravery. Regardless,
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: he decided that if he couldn't have her, no one
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: else would. He then decided to plot her murder, knowing
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: it would leave their three children without a mother. On
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: the fourteenth of December twenty twenty three, Christile dropped her
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: children off at school. When she returned home, Daniel was
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: lying in wait. He knocked her unconscious with a blunt object,
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: and he stabbed his wife of more than two decades
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: in the heart. But there was one issue. Whilst Daniel
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: hadn't been very however, when it came to hiding his
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: IP address, he had been meticulous in leaving no DNA
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: at the scene. A partial DNA profile from an unknown
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: person was found on Christie's neck, but there was no
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: physical evidence that linked Daniel to his wife's murder. Investigators
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: believed that he had sent himself the messages from his
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: wife's phone that morning to create an alibi. The messages
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: where his reply had sparked concern when they went unread.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: The police forensically analyzed his mobile phone and his computer
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: in his office, and they discovered a list of disturbing
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: googgle searches. The day before his wife died, he had
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: searched when is a head injury a cause for concern?
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: How hard do you have to hit someone in the
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: head to make them unconscious? And how long can you
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: be unconscious without brain damage. They also tracked down a
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: transaction for a Berner phone made by a gift card
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: that was registered in Daniel's name. The Bernaphone was that device,
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: the one that was sending malicious communications to Christile. The
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: police decided to go ahead and charge him with four counts,
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: including first degree murder, two counts of stalking, and one
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: count of criminal impersonation. Daniel Krug stood trial in the
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: spring of twenty twenty five. He denied all the charges,
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: and his lawyers focused heavily on the fact that there
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: was no DNA evidence linking him to Cristill's murder. The
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: prosecution told the court they had a strong, circumstantial case
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: and that it was also backed up by digital forensics.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: Daniel had no alibi for the morning of the murder.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: Prosecutors also discovered that after Daniel sent the first message
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: to Christile from his Berna phone, the message that was
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: ignored initially by his wife, Daniel text himself from that
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: phone with the word test, to which he replied yeah.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: When he realized the phone was working and that Christille
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: had simply ignored the message he said was from her
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: ex he messaged her again and again and again. The
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: jury also heard that two gofundmes were set up after
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: the murder Pristile's family had set one up for the children,
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: which raised almost sixty five thousand dollars. Incredibly, Daniel's family
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: also set up a GoFundMe for him to help him
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: pay for his legal fees. They said they needed the
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: money to put together a vigorous defense, and that raised
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: just over six thousand dollars. On the seventeenth of April,
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: the jury found Daniel Krug guilty of all charges and
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: of parole. He was also sentenced to another nine and
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: a half years in prison for stalking. Daniel Krug will
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: die in prison. Thank you for watching. If you found
