MADISON, Wis. — A 911 dispatcher received a call from the cell phone of a University of Wisconsin-Madison student sometime before she was killed last month but the call was apparently ignored, according to officials.
An official with the Dane County Public Safety communications said Thursday that a call for service was made from Brittany Zimmermann’s apartment to 911 on the day that she was killed in early April, but mistakes in how the call was handled resulted in no police officers being sent to investigate.
