It was Christmas time in the college town of Normal, Illinois. Many students had already left by December 22, 1975, gone home on break to celebrate the holiday season with their families. During their time off, they may have caught a screening of Black Christmas, a 1974 slasher film that was still doing some screenings in December of 1975. The film focused on a group of young women in a sorority being stalked and murdered by an unknown killer. Out in the real world though, a horrific crime in the same vein would be committed. 21-year-old Carol Rofstad had stayed behind in Normal to work some extra shifts at her job to earn a little extra cash for Christmas presents, unfortunately she woul fall victim to a brutal attack, just steps outside of her Delta Zeta Sorority house. An attack that lacked an apparent sign of motive or reason, that would leave a family who rather than celebrate, would have to spend their holiday in mourning. This is Midwest Mystery Files, Episode 23, The Vicious Murder of Carol Rofstad.
