IT WASN’T until her elderly parents died a few years ago that Arlene Rothschild was able to begin coming to terms with what happened that terrible May day in Madison 38 years ago.
“I was unable to grieve,” Rothschild said from her home in Chicago this week.
She said she is grieving now, and as part of that process, Rothschild is hoping to spark new interest in the unsolved murder of her sister, Christine Rothschild, who was an 18-year-old UW-Madison freshman when her body was found in a clump of bushes in front of Sterling Hall on campus on the evening of Sunday, May 26, 1968.
