It's time to reveal what you know. Send in a tip to the Normal Police Department, you may remain anonymous (309)454-9535.

Just ten days after this photo was taken, Carol Ann Rofstad was the victim of a brutal attack outside of her sorority house in December 1975. She later passed away on Christmas Eve. Though it has been nearly 50 years since her murder, we believe that justice is still possible.

Though two suspects are deceased, one remains living. Someone, perhaps multiple people, knows the truth of what happened that cold night on Fell Street.

Did you know any of our suspects in the 70s? Did a friend of a friend know them? Ever see them at an establishment in town? Went to school with them?

It is never too late to come forward with information that could solve this half a century old cold case. If you have any information at all regarding this homicide that you would like to share, please reach out to the investigators at the Normal Police Department - (309)454-9535

Sometimes, all it takes is one tip to crack open a case.

In collaboration with Illinois State University, we have created a Hatch fundraising campaign on their website for the Carol Rofstad Memorial Bench. All funds raised through our GiveButter link will be transferred to here! We hope this campaign will reach more students and alumni as well as reach our goal of $4,500! l

Thank you so much to Jillian Nelson, director of Giving and Philanthropy at ISU for setting this up for us. We would absolutely love to have this memorial bench finalized before the 50th anniversary of Carol's passing this December.

Thank you all that have donated already, you are truly making a difference!

Carol’s Last Christmas Episode 17 - Last Man Standing

Our list of known living suspects has now dwindled to one. In this episode we focus on the Last Man Standing, who at one point offered to tell all, but McLean county authorities refused his request for immunity. Was he the “lookout”, waiting for Carol to return home from the Cellar? Why did he cut his hair and suddenly leave town when the heat was on? His wife at the time pleaded with police to believe her suspicions. Our team tracks down the Last Man’s former sister-in-law who has quite a story to tell.

Today we remember Carol on what would have been her 71st birthday. You will always be loved and we will never forget you.

Exciting news. We have been working with the university to create a memorial for Carol. A memorial bench on the Quad has been approved, and the cost will be $4,500. We have created a fundraiser to pay for the memorial. Any additional funds raised will go towards planting a memorial tree(s) in her honor around campus.

Anything at all helps. Please share and spread the word so we can give Carol a memorial she deserves!

Remembering Carol

December 22, 1975, in the late evening hours, Carol Rofstad was attacked just outside her off-campus sorority house. Exactly what happened when Carol came across her attacker is still unknown. Unfortunately, two days later, on Christmas Eve, Carol was pronounced deceased.

Normal PD has been re-examining this case and has continued to interview numerous individuals. Additionally, Normal PD has been rigorously working with state and private labs in the hopes that advancements in forensic technology will one day paint a clearer picture of those responsible for committing this heinous crime. Normal PD continues to investigate the homicide of Carol Rofstad and has gone to great lengths to provide answers to Carol’s family and friends.

This is where we need your help. If you or anyone you know has any information which may assist our investigation, we ask you to please reach out. Please contact Detective Nicole Bruno at [email protected] / 309-454-9702, or you can provide an anonymous tip by downloading our Normal PD App and sharing your information anonymously.

Episode 16: BREAKING NEWS: Gone, but Not Forgotten

15 months after admitting he was on the crime scene the night Carol was attacked, and after calling Genuine Human's lead investigator George Seibel twice, we learn that suspect #1 has gone permanently silent. Rest assured, this does not mean an end to the investigation. It might encourage long locked lips to tell what they know. More to come from Carol’s Last Christmas.

Episode 15: I Had Trouble with a Guy in Class

Just how often were women being attacked in the 1970's at or near Illinois State University? The Genuine Human team explores crimes that were reported to police but largely unknown to the public. And some are strikingly similar to the fatal attack on Carol, including an another assault with a tree limb. It's no wonder George sees some common threads.
