Daniel Krug, a Colorado man, was convicted of killing his wife after posing as her ex-boyfriend and stalking her. He was found guilty of first-degree murder, two counts of stalking, and one count of criminal impersonation, facing a mandatory sentence of life without parole. Prosecutors described how Krug scared his wife by pretending to be her stalker and then killed her after realizing she didn’t want to be with him anymore. They highlighted threatening texts and emails sent to his wife, as well as his plotting of the murder, which took place in their home in 2023. The defense argued that there was no physical evidence linking Krug to the killing, questioning the police investigation and handling of the case.
Despite claims of innocence, evidence suggested that emails and texts to Krug’s wife originated from his workplace’s computer network, and a burner phone used in the communication was traced back to him. The defense pointed out DNA evidence on surveillance cameras and other items in the house that did not match Krug’s, suggesting the possible involvement of an unknown person. Prosecutors emphasized Krug’s efforts to create an alibi after the murder and his shifting stories to police about the ex-boyfriend’s involvement. Ultimately, Krug’s actions and the evidence presented led to his conviction for the murder of his wife.
