Zimmermann’s family creates new reward fund to solve murder

Five months after University of Wisconsin-Madison student Brittany Zimmermann was found dead in her West Doty Street apartment, a $5,000 reward fund has been created in the hopes it will lead someone to come forward with information regarding her death.

An emotionally charged message written by Brittany’s parents, Kevin and Jean Zimmermann, and read by her aunt, Kim Heeg, at a news conference Thursday morning said: “The past five months have been agonizing and today we still have no answers as to who took our daughter from us. … The days since Brittany’s death have been very dark and we are desperate to find justice for our daughter.”
