Family: DNA match in Zimmermann homicide more than year old

The mother of former UW-Madison student and 2008 homicide victim Brittany Zimmermann tells 27 News a DNA match in Zimmermann’s case was made in 2014.

Jean Zimmermann tells 27 News she was also informed of the match by authorities in 2014, and knows the name of the person associated with the DNA, but is not divulging the name at this time.

The existence of the DNA match in the high-profile killing of the 21- year old university student in a campus-area apartment was first reported on WIBA’s The Vicki McKenna show last week.
