Coroner Confirms Body That Of Missing College Student
Dane County Coroner John Stanley positively identified the body found in a rural Wisconsin area Monday as that of missing college student Kelly Nolan Tuesday night. Police said that Nolan's death is a homicide but that the exact cause of death will not be made until all testing is complete. Nolan, a 22-year-old University of Wisconsin-Whitewater student, vanished early June 23 after a night of drinking at bars in downtown Madison.
Authorities said that before Kelly Nolan disappeared, she might have been walking with a man in downtown Madison around bar time as she was heading for home.
The owner of Amy's Café said that one of his workers told him that he was at the Lava Lounge on Gilman and then started walking Nolan to her West Mifflin Street apartment.
The employee reportedly said that they had passed only a few homes before another man suddenly appeared and said he knew Nolan and would take her home.

It happened in another case just under 2 years ago. A girl (Angela Drake) left a bar without her friends. She turned up dead in a ditch. Thankfully the guy was caught. But seriously...think about it people. If you're out with your friends and one of them wants to leave on their own, DON'T LET THEM. MAKE SURE THEY GET HOME. I would NEVER leave my friends to walk alone at that time of night. Especially in an area of town that has gotten a fairly bad reputation lately for things like sexual assault. Do whatever you can to make sure your friend gets home. If she wants to stay at the bar, suck it up and stay with her. Don't let her tell you different, because she's drunk and therefore "10 feet tall and bulletproof". It will be a lot easier in the morning when you know exactly where she is.

It's a shame that we have to assume the world we live in is not safe, but there are so many crimes that could be prevented if people were a little more paranoid.
Sigh.
It's dumb, and I'm sure she knew better... but I knew better too and still did it.
Honestly, I would say "Nothing's going to happen to me. Why would some weirdo pick me when there are all kinds of gorgeous women to pick from?"
