Report: Police seek possible link between Zimmermann murder, kidnapping case

Madison police plan to see whether there’s a tie between a man accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting two men in Wood County and the murder of Brittany Zimmermann in Madison, who was killed in April, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Web site reported Tuesday.

The newspaper reports that Edward Lanphear, 46, is being held on $1 million bail at the Wood County Jail, charged with 12 felonies ranging from kidnapping to sexual assault to false imprisonment and battery.
