Hi Angela, What do you know about Will Workman? I knew him when I lived in Madison (thankfully was never alone with him), and I know what he's suspected of. I think he's worth considering, but not sure if this would fall into his MO. Of course, there's a lot of info that hasn't been released...

I would guess that this never even happened and the detective is lying just to say that he figured it out before anybody else did. According to the article, there was nothing about Chandra Levy in the police report. And if it "wasn't [his case] to pursue," as he said, than why did he have a...

This is great news for his family. I'm just praying they have the right person.

Posting this article both here and in Joel Marino's thread, although I almost didn't post it because Chief Wray (and the article) could not be any more vague!! They don't say why they think the two crimes are unrelated, just that they probably aren't. Thanks for the info, Chief!!! Also, is it...

Now this is a really good price for a 2-bedroom in Madison! http://madison.craigslist.org/apa/681596568.html Let's hope that the MPD has been very very thorough so that no evidence is lost when they paint and redo the floors.

Here's where the confusion comes from on last weeks original report that the 911 dispatcher called Brittany's phone back. They actually did tell police that there was a call back on Brittany's phone and that two men answered. Here's the new info in an article from the Wisconsin State Journal...

I cannot tell you how angry I am about this whole situation, especially after reading this article: Also, this is not just an isolated incident or just a 911 Center problem. This is a systemic problem: This is a college town. Most students don't even have land lines in their apartments...

If this is true, it's a bombshell! From The Isthmus: I can't freaking believe this! How badly can these people screw up? This gives real reason to suspect that LE is covering up their own incompetence. ETA: It seems like The Isthmus is doing the only *real* reporting on this case lately and I...

From The Isthmus: I posted this on Joel Marino's thread as well, but this one seems more active. I think it's a very bad sign that the families don't even trust the police at this point. The story about the man at the Crystal Corner is pretty disturbing. I mean, you're likely to encounter...

This statement could be applied to anywhere in the United States. It's not unique to Wisconsin or Madison. Sorry. Just look at U.S. voting behavior over the last 50 years. Voter participation is abysmal, with the only possible exception being the oldest age groups. OT: I've never seen or...

Here's the article, Shamrock: http://www.madison.com/wsj/mad/breaking_news/281114 Can anyone remember if there was a forced entry in the Joel Marino murder? Either there wasn't, or that information hasn't been released, because I don't remember them saying anything about it.

I have to disagree with this. News of Kelly Nolan's murder was well publicized around the state (remember, she was just in Madison for the summer), and there were emails sent out by the university to all students, faculty and staff both warning people to take the proper precautions and asking...

Hi Fran, These all occured in relatively the same area (UW Campus/Downtown). There's not a gang problem in that area, but there was a sharp increase in violent pedestrian robberies last year. There were also two kidnapping/rapes that occurred in the area at around the same time the robberies...

Thanks for posting this. The sex offender thing is disturbing. I cannot believe people would voluntarily let this guy into their houses, no matter how harmless he seemed, let alone give him $40. Maybe it's because I grew up in a big city, but I don't open my door to strangers. In fact, I...

Here's my theory on why MPD won't release sketches: They don't have the resources to handle the response, and consequently, they won't bother with a sketch unless they can officially rule out/in any resulting suspects with DNA. It might be a budget thing or an incompetency thing. They did...

Okay, stuff like this is why men have shorter life expectency than women. Idiots. Also we have Google Street View in Madison now. If you go to the google map, click on Street View, and follow MsSheila's directions, you can see where everything is located.

Yeah, but there are numerous homeless shelters within walking distance of Brittany's home, not to mention the Greyhound Station about 50 yards away. There's only so much police can do about that transient population. If you live downtown - in just about any city - you learn to deal with...

That's a good point, SS. I am confused about the times too. We know Brittany was found at 1:00 but we don't know when she was killed. Since she lived with her boyfriend, we can probably assume it was sometime between yesterday morning and 1:00. The WORT witnesses say that they talked to the...

Please see my above post. I've added new information about another incident. A man entered a house on W. Washington asking for money to fix a flat tire. There's a description. I have a feeling this is the guy. I just hope the historically inept MPD can catch him. ETA: One other thing...This...

Just saw this on the local Madison news: The WORT Radio Station is located just steps from where Brittany was murdered across Bedford street on Doty. Employees of the radio station said that a man walked into the station yesterday and asked for money to help fix his car (apparently this was...
