On a blessedly rain-free Friday afternoon, two dozen or so friends and neighbors of slain UW-Whitewater student Kelly Nolan’s family gathered under a gazebo at Centennial Park in Waunakee to mark the upcoming one-year anniversary of her disappearance and death.
Kelly Nolan, 22, disappeared in the early hours of June 23, 2007, about one month after moving to Madison, after a night of partying on State Street with friends. Her body was found in Fitchburg on July 9 after a massive search.
