society, culture, documentary, true crime · EN

In 1968, 18-year-old Christine Rothschild was found stabbed to death outside Sterling Hall on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus. The killing shocked the community, but despite early investigation, her murder was never solved. More than fifty years later, the case remains open, and the questions surrounding her death have never fully gone away. In You Killed Chris: A Friend’s Fight for Justice, journalist James Wolner revisits Christine’s story through the voice of her friend Linda, who has spent decades searching for answers. Set against the unrest of the late 1960s, the investigation follows Linda’s persistence, the overlooked details of the case, and the quiet determination to keep Christine’s story alive.
