64: Breakup to Breakdown: The Fatal Path of Rosencrantz

In this Idaho case from 1983, Kathy Gittel tries to restart her life after leaving Keith Rosencrantz, but he won’t let the relationship end quietly. Dani and Stephanie walk through a string of escalating red flags: tense drop-ins, threats, alcohol-fueled behavior, and the kind of controlling rage that pulls family and bystanders into the blast radius. Then one summer night in Buhl, neighbors hear gunfire and a desperate call for help, launching an investigation with troubling statements, a shotgun at the center of it all, and courtroom twists that had us yelling at our mics. If you think you know where this is headed, wait until you hear what happens once the case hits a jury—and how the judge responds.Contact The Lethal Library at [email protected].
