Police have not turned up any evidence of foul play in the disappearance of 22-year-old Kelly Nolan from Downtown June 23, but a spokesman said Monday they are continuing to review businesses surveillance tapes and run down tips.\ And national media interest in the disappearance of the UW-Whitewater student is building, with reports on at least three national news channels.
Nolan's family distributed posters at Summerfest in Milwaukee, but police spokesman Joel DeSpain said the official police investigation had not expanded to Milwaukee.
"There'd be no more reason to believe she's in Milwaukee than that she's in Verona," he said. "There's nothing as far as the police investigation that's taking place in Milwaukee. There's nothing that's pushing us there right now."
Meanwhile, Madison police have released statistics that show 154 adults have been reported missing in Madison since 2001.
DeSpain said officers are reviewing the cases to determine how many are still missing.
While Madison Police Capt. Carl Gloede reported Friday that 11 adults had been reported missing in 2007, Gloede updated that figure to 12 Monday after reviewing the cases. Of those, three, including Nolan, remain missing, Gloede said.
Nolan's family members, who have been passing out fliers throughout the area asking for help in finding her, were scheduled to meet with detectives this morning.
DeSpain said police are interviewing people who were Downtown in the early morning hours of June 23 and may have had contact with Nolan, who had been subletting a Madison apartment for the summer before returning to UW-Whitewater in the fall.
Madison police also released a photo of a handbag that is similar to one Nolan is believed to have been carrying when she disappeared.
"We haven't found her handbag, or anything to do with her clothing," DeSpain said. "There is no evidence of foul play. That doesn't mean it isn't foul play."
DeSpain said reports that surveillance video captured her leaving State Street Brats early on June 23 were inaccurate.
But he said police have been reviewing surveillance video from several businesses in the campus area.
Nolan came to Madison on May 20 after finishing the semester at UW-Whitewater.
Her family said she had worked both as a waitress at the Madison Club and the Orpheum Theatre, but she was no longer working at either place when she disappeared.
April Nolan, one of her sisters, spoke with her by cell phone in the early morning hours June 23.
