MADISON, Wis. — Dane County officials said on Monday that they plan to release new information regarding the killing of a University of Wisconsin-Madison student but gave no details on when.
This follows last week’s revelation that the Dane County 911 Center received a call from 21-year-old Brittany Zimmermann’s cell phone on the day she was killed. However, a 911 dispatcher hung up on the call and then failed to call back, which violates protocol. Police officers were never sent to investigate.
The news touched off a public round of fingerpointing between Madison police and various local and county officials about whether there was enough information from the call to prompt police to respond. The dispatcher who answered the call has since been transferred to another county job, WISC-TV reported.
