Murdered UW student called 911 before death

In a news conference with media Thursday morning, Dane County Public Safety Communications Director Joe Norwick confirmed that a 911 telephone call was made from Brittany Zimmermann’s cell phone to the center the day of her homicide.

Norwick said that a 911 dispatcher couldn’t hear a voice on the other end of the line, and proceeded to answer other waiting 911 calls without calling the Zimmermann number back.
