The slaying of a young woman in her downtown apartment has University of Wisconsin-Madison students and her neighbors on edge.
“I’m extra scared because of the little bit of information that’s been released,” said Christian Caflisch, 23, a recent UW-Madison graduate who lives less than a block from where Brittany Sue Zimmermann, 21, was found dead Wednesday in her apartment at 517 W. Doty St. “They are basically telling us, ‘A killer is out there. Be safe.’ ”
Another student expressed confidence in the police.
“We trust the campus and city police to take care of us, to protect our safety,” said senior Jessica Zeier.
