Thursday Marks 1-Year Since Zimmermann Slaying

Thursday is the one-year anniversary of the slaying of University of Wisconsin-Madison student Brittany Zimmermann, and those working on solving the said they’re confident justice will be served.

Zimmermann, 21, had goals of studying immunology and finding cures for the world’s diseases. But on April 2, 2008, she was found stabbed to death in her downtown Madison apartment.

Authorities said an investigation into the death later revealed that Zimmermann called 911 for help, but the call was dropped and no police officers were dispatched.
