A year ago Wednesday, the body of murder victim Kelly Nolan was found in a wooded area in the town of Dunn, providing her family with some closure but little emotional relief from the tragic death of their 22-year-old daughter.
….Nolan, a UW-Whitewater student who had been living in Madison for a month, disappeared after a night out with friends in downtown Madison. She was last seen walking with someone downtown in the early morning hours of June 23, 2007. Although nearly 600 people have been interviewed and 200 tips investigated relating to her disappearance and death, the police currently have no suspects.
(Madison Police spokesman Joel) DeSpain said the police did receive new leads following a press conference that was held June 13. He said detectives continue to work the case, stressing it is by no means a cold case. He instead classified the Nolan case as difficult because of the fact that her body was left in the countryside south of Madison, preventing her body from being found for several weeks. That made it difficult to gather forensic evidence.
