The University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Department (UWPD) announced a renewed call for information about a 58-year-old unsolved murder case of a University of Wisconsin-Madison freshman on May 28.
On the morning of May 26, 1968, UW-Madison freshman Christine “Chris” Rothschild was found strangled and stabbed to death next to Sterling Hall. UWPD attempted to solve the case but it was overshadowed due to anti-war protests on campus and no suspects were arrested. This year marks the 58th anniversary of Rothschild’s murder.
