I really hope heads roll for this. When you become a 911 disptacher you become part of a very important system that can not be taken lightly in any situation. No matter what. Some jobs are like that. I hope Bittany Zimmermann's family can take solace that she is in a better place though. And hopefully they will see her again someday.
A slain 21 year old student who was being attacked by a stranger called 911 but no one came in time to her rescue, according to reports.
dispatcher who took the April 2 call from Brittany Zimmermann's phone shortly before she was murdered told investigators that she either didn't hear a scream or that "it didn't register as a scream."
The length of delay between the mishandled 911 call and when Madison police were sent to her West Doty Street apartment to find her brutally murdered haven't been made known to the public.
Investigators have however revealed in previously sealed court documents obtained by the Wisconsin State Journal that the delay time was 48 minutes.
Dane County has taken some harsh criticism from the public regarding the delay, and tough questions have been raised about whether a prompt response might have saved Zimmerman's life.
Police are still looking for her killer.
"We are working diligently on this case, have generated significant leads, and are making progress," said Joel De Spain of the Madison Police Department.
The police said they believe Zimmerman was attacked by a stranger. Her apartment door showed signs of forced entry.
