When 53-year-old Kristine Fitzhugh, a beloved music teacher and devoted mother, was found at the bottom of her basement stairs in her Palo Alto home, it seemed like a tragic accident. But as investigators took a closer look, inconsistencies in the crime scene and autopsy report painted a far more sinister picture. What they uncovered was a decades-old secret, a hidden affair, and a desperate attempt to keep the truth from coming to light.
In this episode of Chillworthy, we explore the unraveling of a carefully maintained façade, the shocking betrayal that led to Kristine’s murder, and how one crucial detail—overlooked at first—exposed the killer.
Join us as we delve into a case where lies, greed, and family secrets turned fatal.
