911 Dispatcher Who Took Zimmermann’s Call Transferred

MADISON, Wis. — Many questions linger following the revelation Thursday that a 911 call from the cell phone of slain University of Wisconsin-Madison student Brittany Zimmermann did not result in police being sent to her downtown apartment last month.

County Executive Kathleen Falk said that “the system didn’t work like it should” when a 911 dispatcher received the call from Zimmermann’s cell phone on April 2.
