On October 4,1978 the body of 16-year-old Krisann Baxter was found in North Spokane. She had been beaten, strangled and sexually assaulted. For decades, the Spokane County Sheriff's Office tried to catch a killer. There was no shortage of suspects, even confessions that were later ruled to be bogus. Nearly 45 years after the brutal crime, it was genetic genealogy and the company Othram who identified Keith D. Lindblom as their suspect. Lindblom died in a fire in 1981. His own family helped SCSO finally solve the case.

(00:08):
I didn't want to go to Spokanebecause I knew there was a murderer up
there that had killed her. Knitthere was there's monsters cup there. It
was fall of nineteen seventy eight whenit happened, when a sixteen year old
named Chrissanne Baxter was raped and strangledto death. Like wasn't this simple thing
that we thought it was. That'sChrissande's childhood friend Wendy, who says the
(00:32):
trauma of that innocence lost still hauntsthose who knew Chrissand to this day,
I think it opened all of oureye. The first voice you heard there
was one of Chrissande's brothers, ChuckBaxter. He recalls the moment everything changed.
My brother called me and he wantedto tell me before the news came
(00:54):
on and what had happened before I'dseen it on the TV. We'll get
into specifics of what did happen shortlyand how After forty five years, detectives
believe they have identified who did this. But before that, those who loved
chriss Anne want you to know moreabout her life. She was funny,
funny in easy going and as Wendysays, friendly like a magnet. And
(01:19):
what drew you to her just herkindness, her outgoingness. She was just
a very open person that invited youin. I mean you you just kind
(01:41):
of became prince with her. Youjust couldn't help it. My name is
Haley Gunner. I'm an anchor andreporter for KHQ NonStop Local and Spokane.
My passion is covering cold cases,ensuring our community never forgets. It's just
a puzzle, right, but weunderstand that it's somebody's life in this case,
as you heard, it's somebody's baby, sister, friend, daughter.
(02:05):
It's what fuels investigators like Spokane CountySheriff's Office Major Crimes Detective Mike Drepo.
I'm a major crimes detective and Ican't, you know, break down and
cry as opposed to do my job. But at some point, on some
level, you know, we careabout these people too, and we live
with them. I mean, thereare people that don't remember these cases.
(02:27):
Obviously the family remembers that people whoknew them remember it, but for the
most part, they're not remembered byanybody. They sit in a box.
What I do is not glamorous.I go up and I look through reports
and I make sure there's no duplicates, and I read them over and over
and I do the best I canto figure out if there's anything to do.
And a lot of times there's justnothing we can do right now because
(02:50):
we haven't found the body, orbecause there is no DNA or sometimes there
is, sometimes there is, sowe try to try to prioritize the ones
right now that do have DNA,ones like the case of Chris Ann's.
Her body was found near Whitworth Driveand Division, an intersection Detective Draypo frequently
passes in North Spokane, bed rightby their quite often, and she was
(03:13):
just a young runaway kid, soshe was young. That's why we've titled
this episode Forever sixteen. In it, I'm talking in depth with Detective Drapo
and everything he and investigators before himdid to finally close their case. Drapo
was the lead on it when morethan four decades after she was killed,
a suspect was identified through genetic genealogy, a man named Keith D. Lindblum.
(03:37):
He died in a fire a fewyears after the murder. Here's Chris
Hanne's friend again, Wendy. Whatdid you, what was your reaction to
that news. I was happy forthe news. I was that sad honestly
that he had passed, but Iwas happy for the way he had passed,
(03:57):
if that make sense. We knowhe's not out there anymore, and
and it doesn't sound like he diedthe most graceful deaths and that helps a
little bit. It's kind of ironic. City Birds. Detective Drapo said he
couldn't find anything saying that Chrissanne andher killer knew each other. Did his
(04:19):
name come up at all? No, he was never mentioned in any of
these reports. Now, he wasnever mentioned any of the original in the
original investigation that I could find.I've been through it a couple of times.
Drapo says he still remembers the firsttime he saw Chrissanne's file. This
case particularly. I remember this onebecause it was a signed to me a
(04:39):
long time ago when I first camein to homicide in two thousand and seven,
so it was one of the onesI originally had. And what he
found inside that file, what happenedto Chrissanne in the final moments of her
life, was about as brutal asit gets. I kind of knew what
happened to her before, I justdidn't know who had done it. So
(05:01):
my guess is that she was hitchhiking, which was a normal routine for her,
and in the seventies it was prettycommon for people to hitchhike and just
catch rides with whomever. Thank goodness, that's not a thing as much anymore.
She got a ride. Based onwhat I know about the about Keith
Lindblaum, I think she got aride with them. He picked her up
(05:25):
in a car. Whether it wasa work car is a regular car,
I don't know. At some pointhe takes her up near where her body
was found, sexual assaults her,chokes her out with her own clothes,
leaves her there just in the woodswhere she's found a day or so later
by some guys putting a high powerline through, and with that a massive
(05:48):
manhunt for a killer was on.Chrissand's body was found on October fourth of
nineteen seventy eight. Her mom hadreported her as a runaway a few days
prior. It was collected evidence thatwould later crack this case, but for
years it wentn't nowhere. Like othersassigned to the major crimes, unit DRAPO
(06:09):
is currently always working multiple cases.We're talking robberies, serious assaults, and
other murders. He remembers diving intothis one in two thousand and seven,
but it would be about thirteen moreyears until he could really give it more.
I've been working it since like twothousand. January twenty twenty is when
(06:29):
I started actively working it, goingthrough the case file, trying to find
the DNA evidence and submitted to thelab for retesting. And that was a
long process. They did an excellentjob with all of that. They've been
excellent with all of our cold cases. They go way above and beyond,
and this one he felt confident wouldbe solved. That's when he and a
colleague took off to talk to Christiane'sfamily in person. Mark and I drove
(06:54):
over to where they live, whichis on the west side of the state,
and just knocked on their door andsaid, hey, we'd like to
for a minute and we ended uptalking to him for a well a couple
of days anyways. But how didthey and you're talking about her family,
Yeah, christ Anne's brother, olderbrother on their door. I mean,
were they shocked? Yeah? Ithink so. They Yeah, I didn't
(07:19):
really want to call him, andI couldn't think of a good way to
call him and say, hey,we'd like to talk to you about something
important and we'll come over. SoI just went over there, and I
wasn't even sure they were the rightpeople. I'm the name isn't that uncommon?
So and none of his date ofbirth is ever in the report,
so I wasn't even sure which onehe was. So we went over and
said, hey, did you havea sister chris Anne? Yeah, okay,
(07:42):
well we'd like to talk to you. So we talked to him in
October and of October, and hedied just before Christmas. So and I
told him, you know, Ithink we know who did it. We
have a good idea who it was. If it all pends out the way
we expect, then I know whodid it. I told him who did
it? Who I thought did it? He said, you know, I'd
(08:05):
like you to talk to the restof the family. So we had other
family members coming the next day.We talked to them as well. After
all that time, were they stunned? Were they grateful? Were they I
think they were grateful. They saidthanks for you know. They asked me
why I picked this case. WhyI was still work in this case?
And I said, because I rememberit, He says he always will.
(08:28):
There are so many twists and turns, including a confession that came in years
prior by a notorious convicted killer outof the area. Henry Le Lucas confessed
to her murder to the Texas StatePatrol or Florida State Patrol. But he
confessed a lot of crimes he didn'tcommit so but her specifically yep. And
(08:48):
then later they found out that hewas confessing to stuff he had never done
so and that and a DNA samplethat didn't match heated him as a person
who did this. In fact,he's been dubbed the confession killer, trying
to claim responsibility for hundreds of murdersnationwide. Word of his confession did make
(09:11):
it to Chrisande's many loved ones alongwe thought Henry Lee Lucas did it.
I've got so much paperwork on HenryLee Lucas. I say all the articles,
it was a different brother. DetectiveDray Bow met with not Chuck.
He recalls telling that brother Lucas wasnot their man. He didn't do it.
He was exonerated, as was hisso then they said, well,
(09:33):
Otis Tool did as well. Hewas eliminated as well because we have his
DNA as well and he's not theone that's there. There's a lot of
reporting out there about Lucas and OtisTool you heard the detective mentioned, but
because they had nothing to do withChristanne's case, we won't be getting further
into them in this episode. Whatwe will do is hopefully convey how much
Chrisanne was loved and adored and stillpart of her family to this day.
(09:58):
Before leaving to head back Dispocan.From that trip to meet with some family,
Detective Drapo was taken by Chris Hanne'snephew to truly see the magnitude of
what was taken so many years ago. And he actually went with us to
Chris Hanne's grave which is over onthe west side of the state. So
while we were over there, Isaid, hey, she buried here.
He said, yeah, she's buriedhere. You getting want to go there?
(10:20):
Yeah? She'm bro with there withyou. Keith Linblum's name surfaced with
the use of genetic genealogy from thatDNA that was so carefully preserved decades prior
the company authorm that has been behindmultiple other local cases being solved, was
once again at the center of thisone. We have covered their incredible success
in numerous previous episodes, including thesolving of the Candy Rogers murder case.
(10:46):
I highly recommend you listen to thattoo. Here's their chief development officer,
Kristin Mittelman. It's so sad,and I just I think people don't understand.
It's a cold case. To theworld, that's what it's labeled as.
But it's to them it has stoppedtheir world at that moment and they
(11:07):
can't move past that without getting answers, without getting the truth. And so
I'm super proud to be in theforefront of trying to find a way to
solve all these cases. Well morewith Middleman in an upcoming episode now.
When Drapo began looking into this suspect, he found he was released from prison
just a few months prior to Chrisande'sseemingly random murder. The crime attacking another
(11:31):
teen girl and in that same partof town. We do know we had
at least one child, but otherdetails about his life are scarce. He
was in his late twenties when investigatorsbelieve he sexually assaulted and strangled chrisand to
death. They learned he had diedand a quote accidental fire in April of
nineteen eighty one, they couldn't exhumehis body to confirm he was in fact
(11:56):
a match. Well, I calledWolf family, So not only I have
to reach out to Chris Ann's family, I also had to reach out to
Keith Lindbaum. He was cremated innineteen eighty one, so I couldn't exum
them, so I had to getas close as possible, which meant that
their family had to help me outa lot. So Keith's family was instrumental
in helping me. They all wereabsolutely Once they knew what it was,
(12:18):
they're like, oh, yeah,we'll give you whatever you need. We'll
give you DNA whatever you need.So just finding them was difficult. Yeah,
those are all hard, but theefforts of all involved were worth it.
It was a match. Drap Botook his findings to prosecutors, who
say, with this evidence they wouldbe charging Lindbum if he were still alive.
(12:39):
Officially, the case is closed withquote exceptional circumstances. But now detectives
have some new questions. Do youthink he could have other victims, so
his DNA has been in the system. The suspect DNA has been in the
system since about two thousand and fivetwo thousand and six as a CODIS entry.
(13:03):
So if he had other people thathe had assaulted sexually whose DNA of
the suspect was collected and put intothe system, we'd know if they were
there. There's other cold cases,well, all the cold cases at least
that have DNA should be in CODIS. There may be ones we didn't get
DNA from because they didn't collect itin the seventies. There could be other
(13:28):
cases where we didn't find the body, or any number of things could be
the case. But I know thatthere aren't any that are a match in
CODIS from other suspect samples that area match to this particular DNA sample.
But what he does know is thisparticular time frame was full of disturbing crime.
Well, yeah, and seventy eightthere were there are a lot of
(13:50):
unsolved cases, specifically from seventy eight. Oh yeah, there's a lot of
them. From seventy five to seventyeight, they had a lot of murders.
It was just that time everybody trustedeverybody, and it was all friendly
and there were there was no endof serial killers running around at the time,
(14:11):
rapists, murderers, and they preyedon people who were just catching rides
and hanging out and doing whatever withthe people that they probably shouldn't have been.
It was just a different time,and it was easier to be a
serial killer than it was easy tobe anonymous. It was easy to move
(14:33):
around. There weren't video cameras orcell phones or any of the things we
helped track those guys with now Easiermaybe then, but in some cases no
match for technologies of today, especiallywhen law enforcement will never let go.
You get, you get emotionally attachedto them. At some point. Your
(14:54):
own cold cases, if you generatesome generally are that way, even if
they're not necessarily a murder. Everycase you can't solve kind of stays with
you a little bit. Murders specifically, when you close the book on this
one, you got him? Isthere? Do you even take a minute
(15:15):
to let that sink in, LikeI'm already on I'm already on other stuff.
It was nice to go and checkthat case closed box and in my
so, there actually is a boxthat you. Yeah, you're marketing in
the box and it closes the case. Just like that. Forty five years
(15:35):
of work closed. But Drapo alreadyis eyeing the next one. He still
wanted to take a moment though,to show his heartfelt appreciation for the many
people who helped. Thanks to thefamilies of both Keith Lindblaum and chris An
Baxter and all the cold case familiesthat we've reached out too. Thanks to
(15:56):
the community for helping us. Thanksto all the any scientists who've basically come
up with a way for us tonarrow the field on Codis hits and find
a person that we wouldn't have otherwisefound until the next one. I'm Haley Gunther
