The family of Brittany Sue Zimmermann, a UW-Madison student who was killed in her downtown apartment in April, will file suit against Dane County and one of its former emergency dispatchers Friday in U.S. District Court, according to preliminary papers filed.
Zimmermann, 22, made a 911 call on her cell phone before her death, but the call was disconnected, and the dispatcher did not call her back. No police officer was sent to Zimmermann’s home until after her death.
No one has been arrested in the case.
