In Totally Killer, Chris Dubasage is a fellow resident of North Vernon. He is also the host of The Sweet 16 Killer podcast. Jonathan Potts plays adult Chris, while Nicholas Lloyd plays a teenage Chris.
Chris Dubasage is popularly known for his investigation into the case of the infamous Sweet 16 Killer, who vanished after murdering three sixteen-year-old girls in 1987. Chris conducts tours in town for tourists who come to learn more about the killer and the locations where the murders took place.
Chris Dubasage is the son of Norm Dubasage, a reputed reporter who is a Pulitzer Prize winner. Chris himself has won five Podsy awards for his podcast. However, his father isn’t proud of his son’s achievements. He cares more about his own legacy. Chris grew up being bullied in high school and hating his father.
Chris encourages Jamie to investigate
The Sweet 16 Killer’s return after 35 years starts making everyone believe in Chris again. The Sweet 16 Killer’s latest victim, Jamie’s mother, Pam, had been in contact with Chris.
The rumor says Chris and Pam were having an affair, but Blake assures Jamie that it is nothing like that and that Pam was just investigating the Sweet 16 Killer case with Chris.
Later, Chris confirms this and shows Jamie a note that Pam received when she was 16. Pam found it in her locker room. The note says Pam is the next target.
Chris claims that Pam lived in fear for 35 years, believing that the Sweet 16 Killer would come for her someday. Pam kept this to herself and only showed it to Chris, who, to this day, is trying to solve the case.
Jamie is encouraged to not let this Sweet 16 Killer get away with her mother’s murder. She becomes the next target but is saved by Amelia’s time machine, which sends her to 1987.
Chris becomes the killer
While Jamie is stuck in 1987, Amelia and Chris come together to bring her back. Amelia and Chris learn that Jamie is in 1987 from Chris’ old photos. She is altering the events to stop the Sweet 16 Killer.
Chris attacks Amelia and uses her time machine to go back in 1987. He appears when the original Sweet 16 Killer is killed. Chris reveals himself as the Sweet 16 Killer of the future. He also kills his own father, Norm, on his way to stop Jamie.
The truth is that the original Sweet 16 Killer never returned after those three murders. It’s Chris who killed Pam, dressed as the Sweet 16 Killer and with the same MO, and created that note in order to keep the story of the Sweet 16 Killer, which had been losing relevance, going.
Chris has made his whole life about the Sweet 16 Killer, and the erasure of this killer’s story meant the end of Chris’ career. To protect this story, he returned to the past to stop Jamie.
Chris plans to make the Sweet 16 Killer a bogeyman who can be anywhere and can’t be killed, and he is the expert in this case. The more people fear and care about the Sweet 16 Killer, the more famous he becomes.
Chris’ death and his fate in the altered future
Jamie tries to make sure Chris doesn’t succeed. They both battle inside the Quantum Drop. Since Chris is not in the control pod, he explodes as the ride is spinning. Jamie, on the other hand, returns to 2023 safely.
Chris was glad that he killed his father. He didn’t want the Chris in 1987 to grow up with such a father.
However, Lauren’s book for Jamie, which mentions the whereabouts of everyone and everything that has changed because of Jamie’s presence in 1987, reveals that the little Chris from 1987 was left traumatized after watching his father die on live TV. This Chris is now in India, at a monastery.
