Daniel Krug, a Colorado man, was found guilty of killing his wife after stalking her while posing as her ex-boyfriend. He faced charges of first-degree murder, two counts of stalking, and one count of criminal impersonation, and now faces a mandatory sentence of life without parole. Prosecutors said Krug scared his wife with threatening texts and emails, then plotted to kill her when she wanted to leave him. He knocked her unconscious and stabbed her in the heart at their suburban Denver home. The defense argued there was no physical evidence linking Krug to the crime, but prosecutors pointed to his email account and burner phone as evidence. Krug claimed his wife may have been having affairs, but investigators confirmed the ex-boyfriend he posed as was not involved. The trial also highlighted alleged police incompetence in investigating the stalking before the murder and the crime scene afterwards. Despite claims of sloppy police work and lack of DNA evidence, Krug was convicted by a jury after a day of deliberation. He was described by the prosecution as a “cold-blooded killer” who meticulously planned the murder while maintaining a façade of normalcy in public. The sentencing for Krug is scheduled for the next day, where he will likely receive a life sentence for killing his wife.
