The mother of 21-year old Brittany Zimmermann is finally speaking out, hoping she can find her daughter's killer. Brittany was found murdered in her off-campus apartment back in April.
Brittany Zimmermann's mother Jean Zimmermann says she hopes her plea will finally motivate someone who knows something about that day to come forward.
She was a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, majoring in medical microbiology and immunology, with plans to become a physician. That is, until someone cut her life short. Investigators say the door to her apartment had been forced open the day of her murder, and Brittany was discovered in her apartment after a fruitless 911 call.
Her mother says all she wants now is to find justice for her daughter, so no one else will have to go through a similar horrible circumstance.
"We're just pleading with people to please come forward, pleas help us in finding justice for Brittany, anything they may know, any help they may have for us," says Zimmermann.
The Zimmermann Family set up a fund at the Marshfield Medical Center Credit Union. So far, they've raised about $10,000. The money will be given to anyone with information leading to an arrest in her case.
"She was just an amazing girl and she was living out every hope and dream until someone took her life, and people don't realize what she could have done for other people. She was going to school to learn about different diseases and she was hoping to find cures to diseases that people are dying from today. Hopefully through this reward fund for her, we can find justice for her because she deserves better than this," said Jean Zimmermann.
You can find out how to make a donation to the reward fund through the link below.
If you know anything or have information in the Brittany Zimmermann case, you are asked to call the Madison Area Crime Stoppers at 608-266-6014.
