Christine was an elementary school teacher. She was also a victim of domestic abuse. She had sought shelter at a Milwaukee area domestic abuse center and had received counseling from the Regional Domestic Abuse Services in Oshkosh. She had gotten out of the abusive relationship, was divorcing her husband Alan Schambow and was putting her life back together.

As is often the case in domestic abuse, Schambow feigned remorse and contrition in hopes of getting Christine to come back to him. His reconciliation attempts failed. Christine thought she was finished once and for all with the abusive relationship.
