Listen Later

Episode 5 of You Killed Chris: A Friend’s Fight for Justice explores Linda’s deepening investigation into Niels Jorgensen. Becoming an expert on his family history, she exposes long-standing lies and contradictions. On the 40th anniversary of Christine Rothschild’s death, Linda organizes a memorial service at the University of Wisconsin, with Niels himself invited as the keynote speaker. In her ongoing conversations, Linda confronts Niels as Christine’s killer and discovers mention of a friend who might hold evidence that could change everything.
