Madison police are “very active” today tracking down leads in the Brittany Zimmermann murder case, but are not naming any suspects or persons of interest at this time, or a motive in the slaying or how Zimmermann was killed.
“It’s very active at this point,” said Madison Police Department spokesman Joel DeSpain today. “We are talking to lots of people. We are getting good information from many in the community, including residents, students and transients, with the transient population being very helpful.”
Zimmermann, 21, a UW-Madison senior, was killed Wednesday afternoon in her apartment on West Doty Street downtown.
Sources said she was stabbed, and her father, Kevin Zimmermann, was told by police she suffered a chest trauma, but police are tight-lipped about that aspect of the investigation.
