University of Wisconsin-Madison student Jordan Gonnering, 22, will be let out of the lease on the apartment where he found his fiancee murdered on April 2. Gonnering had 16 months left on the $790-a-month apartment he shared with Brittany Zimmermann, 21. Under Wisconsin law, renters must fulfill terms of a lease even after a death. But after refusing to discuss the issue last week, landlord Russ Endres said Monday he will release Gonnering from the contract.
