That article is dated September 18th, and the news conference was on that day or the day after. Here's another article from MSNBC that I found dated the same day. I'm highlighting a few things I found interesting.

MADISON - Kelly Nolans family isn't giving up. They're asking students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to come forward with any information that could lead to the arrest of the person who killed Nolan. Monday, police announced theyre raising the reward money, while Kelly Nolans family begged for answers. There's not a day that goes by that we don't think about our sister Kelly, Candice Nolan said. Candice and April Nolan have a hard time getting by, knowing their sisters killer is still walking free. Kelly Nolan was last seen along State Street in June. Nearly three weeks later police found her body in a ditch about ten miles away. Now, her family insists someone had to have seen something. We believe there are other persons in the community who know what happened to Kelly, April Nolan said. Police agree. They are reaching out to students they think may have been in town visiting on Friday, June 22, the night Kelly disappeared. Those students just returned to Madison once fall classes resumed. We have literally talked to hundreds of people, but we believe there are some out there we've not found yet, Madison Police Departments Joel DeSpain said. Investigators are certain someone they have not yet talked to, saw Kelly that night and has the final piece to this unsolved puzzle.
We've interviewed a lot of people who are interesting at first blush, but we don't have anybody we've tied to the crime scene at this point, DeSpain said. Police are also confident Kellys killer is tied to the Madison community. The reward to help find Kelly is now $12,000.

My questions and comments are color coded to what I highlighted in the news piece.
They are reaching out to students they think may have been in town visiting on Friday, June 22, the night Kelly disappeared. Those students just returned to Madison once fall classes resumed.
1. First... They think that there are people who might have been in town that weekend and have now returned for the start of the school year. What about the opposite? What about those people who were here in Madison for the summer- or even just the weekend- and have now gone back to wherever they came from? Remember, we didn't hear that Kelly was even missing until almost a week had already passed.
Why weren't they more aggressive when those people would still have been around? This makes absolutely NO sense. Sure, it could be just like they say, and people may have returned. Except for the fact that in a city like Madison, you have a LOT of weekend visitors, kids that are back from other schools for the summer, etc... and State Street is a hot spot. Again, they should have been far more aggressive when they had the chance to catch people's attention.
Investigators are certain someone they have not yet talked to, saw Kelly that night and has the final piece to this unsolved puzzle.
Someone they have not yet talked to has the piece to this unsolved puzzle? If they know THAT much, why haven't they been on an all out manhunt to find this someone? This is so cryptic and it's classic for the MPD. I'm FED UP with this junk! Tell us something REAL!
We've interviewed a lot of people who are interesting at first blush, but we don't have anybody we've tied to the crime scene at this point,
Where is the crime scene? Her apartment? The location her body was found? A car? Why wouldn't they tell us that? If she was last SEEN somewhere, and it's not public knowledge, how do they expect help from the public? How would people know what they're supposed to tell the police when no one knows where she was last seen? This is ridiculous.
