Summary

On April 2, 2008, Brittany Zimmermann had just returned home to her off campus apartment from class at the University of Wisconsin Madison when she was brutally attacked and murdered. Despite making a 911 call during her attack, police didn’t arrive on scene until 48 minutes later when her fiance found her in their bedroom and placed another call to 911. Was the lack of dispatch the reason it took 14 years for her killer to be caught or was it simply a case of lack of evidence?
