Investigation Continues Week After Slaying Of UW Student

MADISON, Wis. — Wednesday marks one week since Brittany Zimmermann’s fiancée found her slain in their West Doty Street apartment near the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.

The downtown Madison neighborhood is still on edge, and Madison investigators said they have no new details in the case to release.

Despite the increased police presence in the area, many living downtown said they are still scared.

“With all the students and people around, you just always felt safe. And now it’s just a whole other story and you have to be cautious,” said Amanda Seeberger, who lives in the neighborhood.
