Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of True Crime with Kendall Ray. Thank you so much for joining me today. And if you're new to the show, then welcome. I'm so happy to have you here. And make sure to click subscribe so you never miss an upload from me. So, you guys, today we're going to be talking about a case that is local to me here in Colorado. And it has to be one of the most complex and frustrating cases of crime. the harassment and stalking and, unfortunately, murder as well that I have come across in my time covering these cases. It's just unbelievable, and not only because of what the victim, Christille, went through, but also because of who was doing it all to her. We're going to be talking about Christille Krug, and I feel that this case has not gotten nearly enough coverage.

It's something that I think... more people should be talking about. For many reasons, it brings up a lot of important discussion. And I'm going to tell you this right now, this case is filled with twists and turns that are going to truly leave you questioning who you can trust in life. Before I start explaining exactly what happened, let's start out by talking about who Christelle Krug was. So she was born on November 24th, 1980 in Boulder, Colorado to her parents, Lars and Linda Grimsford. They also had a son, but I couldn't determine if he was older or younger than Christille. Anyway, I love Christille's name. It's a very unique name and it's actually Norwegian. And her parents have said that they didn't give her a middle name because Christille was just so unique on its own.

And Christille really came from humble beginnings. Her family didn't have a lot of money, and they actually lived in a mobile home for the first few years of her life, but that really never held her back from thriving at everything that she did. From a young age, she was a super talented dancer, but she was also gifted in academics, specifically science. Christille was someone who was... always wondering about the world. She was incredibly inquisitive and was interested in how every little thing worked. She was even able to take her bike completely apart and put it together as a kid because she wanted to understand the mechanics of it. Then when she was around six or seven, her parents, Linda and Lars, ended up getting a divorce.

but they were still very committed to co-parenting their children. They both were very present in her life, and I thought this was cool. Her dad was really into racing old cars, and Christille and her brother would work on them with him, kind of being like his pit crew, which I think sounds really fun. And as a kid, you would feel so special getting to do that for your dad. And it's such a unique hobby to have as a family. Then when Christelle was a teenager, her family grew even bigger because both of her parents remarried other people and she gained a stepsister and a stepbrother who she ended up being very close with. And it totally makes sense that she would be because she was the type of person to really embrace her friends and family and she was just known for being kind.

very open and kind, generous, outgoing and friendly in general. She had sort of a warm energy about her, and people describe her as having an infectious laugh. So she was someone that people liked to be around. And as Christy L. got older and graduated from high school, she decided to attend Colorado School of Mines, which is a top engineering university, and it's very impressive to be accepted there. Everyone that I know personally that went there or goes there is super, super smart, and I've visited the campus a couple of times, and it's very nice, very, very nice. It's beautiful, and everyone I know that's been there had a great experience. So obviously, she was really excited to be able to go to School of Mines, but this decision did not come easy.

It came at a little bit of a cost because she had to break up with her boyfriend, her first serious boyfriend, Anthony Holland. The two of them had met working at a local JCPenney, and they dated for about a year, but they just had different plans and goals for their lives and futures, so they decided to part ways before Christille started college.
