When Colorado mom Kristil Krug started receiving threatening messages from an ex-boyfriend she hadn't seen in twenty years, she did everything right. She documented the harassment, reported it to police, installed security cameras, and even hired a private investigator. For two months, the stalker sent increasingly violent threats, claiming to watch her every move and sending photos of her husband arriving at work.


On December 14th, 2023, just eleven days before Christmas, Kristil was found bludgeoned and stabbed to death in her garage. The investigation into her ex-boyfriend's whereabouts would lead to a shocking discovery: he had an airtight alibi and had never sent a single message.


So who was terrorizing Kristil Krug? The answer was closer than anyone could have imagined and the digital evidence would reveal a calculated deception that lasted months.


Tonight on Crime at Bedtime, we uncover the truth behind Kristil Krug's murder.
