In the event of a break in, usually something of value is stolen from a house. But what if someone breaks into your home and steals a single, random item. Your hairbrush. Your pet’s ashes. Your family picture but leaves the frame. Your one spare house key?
Daniel Krug, patriarch, calls the police after his wife, Kristil comes home and realizes that the spare key they keep hidden in their garage is missing. They could’ve just misplaced it right?
With three young children at home though, the family doesn’t want to take any chances. Especially after Daniel, the father, remembers pulling into his driveway, before the key went missing, and saw someone jump their fence and take off running.
If someone had broken into their garage, stole their spare key, and nothing else that can really only mean one thing right? They’re planning on coming back.
Daniel reports it to the police and even gives his statement to the responding officer who visits his house. For nearly three months the family will grow increasingly paranoid after feeling like the burglar never left the house in the first place. That he came back and started doing stranger and stranger things around the house.
Until exactly 82 days after the initial report, one of the Krug family members will be found inside the family home.

It's like showing up for movie night ready for a heart-pounding thriller, but getting a three-hour documentary on lawn care. That's kind of like insurance. Insurance may all seem the same on the surface, but when it comes to getting the help you need, State Farm is the real deal. You wouldn't settle for a snooze fest when you came for a thrill ride, so don't settle for just any insurance when there's State Farm. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

82 days before the murder, there is a break-in, and in the event of a break-in, usually something is going to be stolen from the house. Most times, it's gonna be whatever that is within reach and is the most valuable. Nobody is breaking and entering, risking jail time, to steal a can opener and the remainder of your laundry detergent. They want electronics. They want cash. They want things that they can resell and make money from.
