148. Run, Bambi, Run: HOMICIDE

Today on LOTW, Becky and Bevy discuss a fractured marriage, a tangled divorce, and the chilling night that turned a family’s world upside down.

Christine Schultz was trying to rebuild her life after separating from her husband, Milwaukee detective Fred Schultz — a breakup shaped by long shifts, growing distance, and a new relationship already waiting in the background. With two young sons to care for, Christine focused on creating stability in the aftermath of their split.

But in June of 1981, while the boys slept, an intruder entered the home — a figure later described with a shock of red hair. What happened inside that house would ignite one of Wisconsin’s most debated cases and raise questions that still echo decades later.
