Kristil Krug was a mother of three, wife and exceptional scientist. So when her ex-partner started stalking her online, she reported it to the police.

The family stepped up their security, her husband installed cameras around their house and they hired a private investigator.

But on the 14th of December, the stalking would end for good. Kristil was found murdered in the family home.

But when the police tracked the IP addresses of the stalkers emails, the investigation went in a completely different direction.

This is REAL.
