The Brittany Zimmerman murder investigation is profoundly troubling on many levels.
Certainly, the fact it’s the third of a string of recent unsolved murders apparently involving strangers is disconcerting as it should be. Let us never be blase about murders in our community. But the Zimmerman case has shed further light on a significant trend in the Madison Police Department — secrecy. And this policy of secrecy is causing the public to lose confidence in a police department that is risking its credibility.
