Wineke: Discovery rightly frightens parents

This is why parents live frightened lives.

Police said Monday they found a body in a field near Oregon after a search by more than 100 police officers that began at 4:30 a.m. Monday. Authorities could not confirm the body was that of Kelly Nolan, the 22-year-old UW-Whitewater student who disappeared June 23 after spending an evening drinking with her friends in downtown Madison. But Madison Police Department spokesman Joel DeSpain acknowledged the massive search was undertaken in a hope of finding items connected with Nolan.
