Summary

Episode 3 of You Killed Chris: A Friend’s Fight for Justice recounts the morning of Christine Rothschild’s murder. After taking her usual walk, Christine’s body is discovered in the bushes near Sterling Hall on the UW–Madison campus. As police launch their investigation, the case quickly grows cold. Linda, however, brings forward critical information: an older man had been harassing Christine, someone she feared deeply.
