Dakota Spotlight Spotlight PLUS Standard

"You Killed Chris: A Friend's Fight for Justice" is a true-crime podcast set against the backdrop of the 1960s US counterculture and delves into the unresolved murder of 18-year-old college freshman Christine Rothschild. Season 10 of Dakota Spotlight, by James Wolner, goes beyond the well-known Manson murders to explore this lesser-known case, focusing on the victim's friend’s relentless pursuit of the truth and the impact the crime had on the University of Wisconsin-Madison community.

Originally broadcast Summer 2021.
When Kirra McLoughlin died her boyfriend said she must have overdosed on prescription drugs. That didn't explain the over one hundred bruises on her body however. And yet, nobody has been charged with Kirra's death.  
That didn't sit well with Jamie Pultz. He had met Kirra once at his former job, back when he was a police officer in Queensland Australia.  When he heard that Kirra had died and nobody had been held accountable, he decided to do something about it.  
This is the third installment of our summer series about mysterious crimes and disappearances from around the globe and the people who fight to get justice for victims and their families.

Telephone interview with Sebastian Feist from federal prison. I was recently contacted by Sebastian Feist who had previously declined to speak with me about this story. In this episode I speak with Feist over the telephone. I ask him about his time in Zeeland, the crime, why the Zicks needed to be killed and many other things.
