Holland said he once dated a woman named Kristil Krug. In fact, she was his first love. They broke up in the fall of 2000 and had not spoken in years. <\/p>\n<p>Unbeknownst to Holland, 43-year-old Kristil Krug &#8212; a mother of three young children &#8212; had been murdered in the garage of her Broomfield, Colorado, home at around 8 a.m. that day.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/21\/7a576923-830d-46fc-8123-695d0aa11830\/thumbnail\/620x349\/05b68d3b2efeeaf26c0dc341c69643ea\/krug-sneakpeek.jpg#\" alt=\"Kristil Krug \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/21\/7a576923-830d-46fc-8123-695d0aa11830\/thumbnail\/620x349\/05b68d3b2efeeaf26c0dc341c69643ea\/krug-sneakpeek.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/21\/7a576923-830d-46fc-8123-695d0aa11830\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/eb435f5a6076e94251a8ae76b2f8479a\/krug-sneakpeek.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Kristil Krug<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Lars Grimsrud<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Kristil Krug&#8217;s death and the investigation into who killed her is the subject of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/sneak-peek-the-setup-murder-of-kristil-krug\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">&#8220;The Setup Murder of Kristil Krug&#8221;<\/a> an all-new &#8220;48 Hours&#8221; reported by correspondent Peter Van Sant airing Saturday, Nov. 29 at 10\/9c on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. <\/p>\n<p>In the weeks before her death, Kristil Krug had told police she and her husband Dan Krug had received threatening texts and emails from a stalker, who she believed was Holland.<\/p>\n<p>So within hours after Kristil Krug&#8217;s murder, investigators in Colorado asked police in Utah to pay Holland a visit at his home about 500 miles away from the crime scene.<\/p>\n<p>But Holland had an airtight alibi. At 12:16 p.m. the day of the murder he was at a local department store buying a sweatshirt, making it impossible for him to have made the journey to Colorado and back. He showed police a time-dated stamped receipt. He was immediately cleared by police.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/28\/8edc4947-9d2c-48ef-9476-683e591c13db\/thumbnail\/620x349\/5913312f6d3bcb62f831e2804e4ad6a5\/krug-holland-pvs.jpg#\" alt=\"Anthony Holland \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/28\/8edc4947-9d2c-48ef-9476-683e591c13db\/thumbnail\/620x349\/5913312f6d3bcb62f831e2804e4ad6a5\/krug-holland-pvs.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/28\/8edc4947-9d2c-48ef-9476-683e591c13db\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/a4c7c90c8e109b66227e494cd0b5e117\/krug-holland-pvs.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Anthony Holland, left, with &#8220;48 Hours&#8221; correspondent Peter Van Sant.

I need another one. I don&#8217;t have enough,&#8221; Holland replied.<\/p>\n<p>Holland added his late mother also played a part in clearing his name.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I do believe, like, either my mom or Kristil, because she was murdered before I went to the store, a little bit before \u2026 her spirit could have traveled, and I believe that they had some part of it because I just had an urge,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was just like go to the store. Go to the store. So, I went,&#8221; Holland explained. &#8220;And then I got home and I was hanging out, just laying on my bed, watching TV, and I heard a pounding at the door.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Two days after Kristil Krug&#8217;s death, police arrested her husband Dan Krug and charged him with stalking and murder. <\/p>\n<p>Holland still owns that sweatshirt. Its value to him extends beyond a piece of clothing, but as a symbol of justice for a woman he once loved.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!--
