5/5/202647 min
In May of 1968, an 18-year-old college student's body was found brutally murdered in some bushes on the camps of her Wisconsin college. She had eaten breakfast and gotten ready for church that morning, never making it off campus before she was attacked. But this sudden and disturbing discovery led to a shocking twist: that a middle-aged medical resident who was obsessed with her may have been behind it… This is the murder of Christine Rothschild.

Hello everybody, hope you're doing well. Thank you so much for tuning into this episode. This case that we have for you guys today feels like a long forgotten, lesser known murder case, not unlike any we've covered before, but one that has a very strong suspect at its center that will disturb you and it needs so much more attention. I don't know how I stumbled upon this case recently, because it didn't come recommended, but I am always looking for cases like this one that needs more of a spotlight put on it, but also has really eerie and unsettling details that cannot fully be explained, you know?
