Students Concerned About Downtown Safety, But Many Still Taking Risks

UW students say they’re being more cautious following the murder of 22-year-old Kelly Nolan.

Her body was found Monday–two weeks after she disappeared after a night of drinking downtown.

But, when 27 News visited State Street Sataurday night we saw women walking alone, talking on cell phones–all things Madison police officers say are risky behaviors.

Police also say downtown Madison is, for the most part, safe.
