Utah Man Cleared of Murder After Buying Sweatshirt Urged by Victim's Spirit
Anthony Holland, a 42-year-old man from Utah, was visited by law enforcement at his home on December 14th, 2023. He had no idea what crime he committed and believed he would be sent to jail. However, an investigation into the murder of Kristil Krug in Colorado revealed that Holland had an airtight alibi.
Krug, a 43-year-old mother of three young children, was found murdered in her garage on November 28th, 2023. In the weeks leading up to her death, she and her husband Dan Krug received threatening texts and emails from a stalker, which investigators believed was Holland. The police asked Holland's colleagues in Utah to confirm his whereabouts at the time of the murder.
Holland had purchased a sweatshirt the day before Krug's murder at 12:16 pm, but he couldn't possibly have committed the crime and returned to Utah by the time of the murder. He showed police the receipt with the exact date and time stamped. This alibi cleared him immediately.
In an interview with "48 Hours," Holland revealed that he believes the spirit of Kristil Krug played a crucial role in his acquittal. According to him, after breaking up with Krug in 2000, their relationship seemed cut off forever. However, on November 27th, 2023, Holland reported feeling an unusual urge - "I just got an urge. I need another one. I don't have enough" - and subsequently bought a new sweatshirt.
Holland also mentioned that his late mother may have played some part in clearing his name, possibly through her spirit as well. This unexplained purchase led to the crucial alibi that ultimately exonerated Holland.
Dan Krug was arrested two days after Krug's death and charged with stalking and murder.
