Inside The House: The Murder of Kristil Krug

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

She documented everything. It wasn't enough.

In September 2023, Kristil Krug began receiving messages from a man she hadn't seen in twenty years. An ex-boyfriend from high school. The messages knew where she'd been, what she was wearing, the route she drove her children to school. They grew explicit, then threatening. Kristil did what experts advise: she kept records. Forty-seven entries in a color-coded spreadsheet, each one timestamped with the precision of the engineer she was.

Her husband Dan installed security cameras. He accompanied her to police interviews. He held her when she couldn't sleep. He was everything a supportive spouse should be.

On December 14, 2023, Kristil Krug was found dead in her garage.

The investigation that followed would expose a deception so complete it fooled everyone—neighbors, colleagues, police, even Kristil herself. The stalker she feared was real. He just wasn't who she thought he was.

Inside the House is a gripping account of intimate partner violence hidden in plain sight, digital forensics that revealed the truth, and one woman's meticulous documentation of her own murder. For readers of Michelle McNamara's I'll Be Gone in the Dark and Rachel Louise Snyder's No Visible Bruises, this is true crime that asks the question we least want to answer:

What if the danger is already inside the house?
