A Wisconsin college student found dead in her Madison apartment has sparked fears that a killer may be loose near the sprawling university campus.
“At this writing no suspects have been identified and detectives have ruled out that this may have been a random act,” according to the Madison Police Department incident report.
Brittany Sue Zimmermann, 21, was found dead in her apartment near the University of Wisconsin-Madison shortly after 1 p.m. Wednesday by police called to check on the student’s welfare. A preliminary examination by the Dane County coroner has ruled her death a homicide. The coroner did not say how the woman was killed, but an autopsy was scheduled for today.
