911 Call Didn't Generate Police Response
Friday, May 2 2008
Madison (Wisc.) police chief Noble Wray says that an investigation has revealed that murder victim Brittany Zimmermann dialed 911 on April 2nd, apparently just before she was killed, and that there was enough information on the call for the dispatcher to create a police response. However, no incident was created, he said. "It would be accurate to state that there is evidence contained in the call, which should have resulted in a Madison police officer being dispatched," Wray said during a news conference. Zimmermann was found dead in her apartment, apparently the victim of an invasion attack. Read communications director Joseph Norwick's remarks about the incident and some debate over 911 call-answering policies here.
