In April 2008, a student at the University of Wisconsin Madison was stabbed to death in her apartment and discovered hours later by her boyfriend. Recently, the family of the slain student filed a lawsuit against Dane County and the 911 call center operator that hung up on the call that she received from the slain student on the night of her murder. The lawsuit alleges that the student called the 911 center and her call was received and hung up on about 90 seconds later. According to protocol for the center, the operator is supposed to try to call the number back, and if that fails, send police to the location of the call. On this night, the Dane County employee did nothing but forget the call. The family is now suing the county and operator seeking damages.
