Summary
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.

| 0:00.0 | Warning, this is a true crime podcast and is not suitable for all audiences. |
| 0:05.5 | Please use discretion. |
| 0:07.8 | Hi everyone, just a quick announcement. |
| 0:11.3 | First off, I have a new podcast coming out. |
| 0:15.3 | It's called Real Lives and will be released in October. |
| 0:19.6 | This is a new venture for me. In the three and a half years of |
| 0:23.7 | podcasting that I've done and almost 20 years in TV production, I've met some incredible people |
| 0:30.0 | with shocking, amazing and unbelievable stories to tell. Real lives will be an interview format, same voice, but joined by |
| 0:41.3 | people who are bravely sharing their stories with us. Some of the guests I've got coming up |
| 0:47.7 | include a survivor of the Dunblane tragedy, a woman who found out her husband was a bigamist, and a death doler. |
| 0:57.1 | If you don't know what that is, well, it won't be long until you can find out. |
| 1:02.0 | I promise to let you know the date of release on an upcoming episode of Real and also on my |
| 1:08.3 | social media. Also, because I don't have any sponsors for the podcast, |
| 1:14.1 | after three and a half years, I've decided to start a Patreon. |
| 1:18.3 | If you don't know what it is, it's basically a platform |
| 1:21.5 | where you can support your favourite creators and you'll get some stuff back. |
| 1:25.7 | So it's going to be the lowest fee possible, which I think |
| 1:29.2 | is £2 a month. And it includes monthly giveaways, a monthly online live event that you can |
| 1:37.0 | join, extra content when I do the deep dives, and I've got a few coming up in the future. And I'll also put out recommendations coming up in the future and I'll also put out recommendations |
| 1:46.0 | for podcasts, documentaries and also invite other creators on sometimes to do episodes that will be |
| 1:53.2 | exclusively on Patreon as well. Real and real lives will always be free to listen to. I want these stories to reach as many people as possible. |
| 2:04.0 | But this is just a way to support the show, the various travel costs and investigative training |
