The murder of a UW-Madison student from Marshfield would not have been prevented with better response to a 911 call, according to Dane County's head Executive Kathleen Falk.
She apologized at a news conference Tuesday for numerous errors employees made responding to the April 2 call from Brittany Zimmermann's cell phone.
But, she says she does not believe the University of Wisconsin-Madison student's murder could have been prevented.
Falk says a county dispatcher inquired three times about whether an emergency existed but heard nothing before the call ended. She then failed to call the number back as required under department policy.
Falk says the call does contain sounds that have significance but they were not heard by the dispatcher.
