A FAMILY IS STALKED, LEADING TO THE MURDER OF A MOTHER; DRAMATIC BODY CAMERA VIDEO CAPTURES THE UNFOLDING INVESTIGATION

Married mother of three Kristil Krug was living a comfortable life in a suburb of Denver when her family’s life was suddenly turned upside down by a stalker who began to haunt her. From threatening messages — and someone seemingly watching her every move — Kristil is convinced an ex-boyfriend is behind the harassment, forcing her to go to the police for help. Now, “20/20” has obtained police videos that give a rare glimpse inside a crime victim’s fight to protect herself and her family. Cameras capture the heightened emotions as Kristil and her husband, Dan Krug, work with investigators to try to track down the stalker, a fight that ends tragically when Kristil is found bludgeoned and stabbed to death in her own garage. As her parents and family arrive at the crime scene, all the raw emotion of this terrible moment unfolds under the unflinching view of multiple police videos. Co-anchor Deborah Roberts investigates the twists and turns of this case with the stalker living closer than anyone could have imagined in the Season 48 premiere of “20/20,” FRIDAY, SEPT. 26 (9:00-11:00 p.m. EDT) on ABC and streaming the next day on Hulu.

Interviews include Kristil’s parents, key investigators and prosecutors on the case, and her ex-boyfriend, who is the alleged stalker.
