Something does not add up with the June 2007 murder of Kelly Nolan, a 22-year-old college student in Wisconsin. Kelly Nolan had been bar hopping that night. She had met friends at a bar in Madison, Wisconsin. She and three girlfriends spent most of the the night in a State Street bar in Madison. At around 11:30 p.m., Nolan's friends left her to go home. Nolan chose to go to another bar. Later in the morning hours, Nolan disappeared. Two weeks later her body was found in a wooded area on private property 11 miles from where she'd last been seen.The death was labeled a homicide but no cause of death was revealed. The Madison Police Department.
says the case can be solved; however, the trail is cold and no arrest seems likely in the immediate future.

Nolan's last contact with anyone was a cell phone call to her sister in the early morning. Cell phone pings led police to search the area where they found her body on July 9, 2007.
An employee of Amy's Cafe in Madison, apparently met Nolan at another nearby bar called the Lava Lounge. A witness apparently told police that the employee and Nolan walked out of the bar together because another male bar patron was harassing Nolan. Supposedly, the employee of Amy's walked out with Nolan, but then Nolan went back into the bar to use the bathroom. The problem is that no one has an accurate description of the alleged male patron. Furthermore, surveillance video fails to show any "person of interest" talking to Nolan. For more details see:

A $10,000 reward is available for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for Kelly Nolan's death. Madison Police Department remains open to information by calling (608) 266-6014.

Funny about the surveillance video.
It all seems too fishy. But why do gals let themselves get separated from their friends?
let's not blame it on the victim. That mentality is so 60's

Common sense never hurt any one. Don't put yourself in a bad position whether you are a man or a woman. Call a friend, call a taxi, call the cops. Call someone.
Common sense my @ss. Brutal criminal conduct can't be blamed on the victim. No longer is this "the victim had it coming" attitude be accepted.
S.M.
I agree ... let's not blame the victim.
I'm the last one to blame a victim but we must look at some facts here.
Kelly had two DUI's and lost her license as to why she was walking from bar to bar. On the night she went missing she was at a bar with friends and instead of going home when they do, she goes out to another bar...She is a heavy drinker and partyer. I'm now wondering if she used drugs as well and may have left the second bar with someone to do drugs. Possibly a drug that if mixed with alcohol could kill her.
She may have fallen victim to foul play but she also may have over dosed with someone who would be in alot of trouble because of their drug use, so they panicked and dumped her body in the woods.
I concur with video guy. Folks got to take responsibility for their own actions and stop playing the role of the victim. Assuming her record is true, she should have sought help for a drinking problem. If you choose to stay at the bars when your ride leaves, that is a warning sign that you may have a problem.
But no one deserves to die just because they are a drunk.
I can't believe all the people on here blaming this girl for getting murdered! It's appalling! The one to blame is still out there somewhere. What if someone you love is next? If she is drunk or doesn't feel like going home when her friends do, will you still feel the same way? Will you think it's her own fault? Come on!
I think it is more a comment on society than anything. This nation has a drinking problem that too many people ignore. No, this poor girl did not deserve to die. One just speculates that maybe if she had counseling about a possible drinking problem, than just maybe she would not have been in this tragic situation.
But again, no one deserves to die. Just because someone drinks does not mean that others can take advantage of her or do harm to her. There is no justification for murder.
Maybe bars should all close at 11:00. Nothing good ever happens after midnight!
While that may be true, that doesn't help Kelly now. Kelly deserves an investigation and the family deserves resolution.
Get this investigation moving!
