However, what if SJ told Jim she was going to the party that night. Remember, he saw her on Friday. What if Jim followed her in his car when she left the party and then continued to follow her until he picked her up on College St.?

1. No, they never met that night. Suzanne dropped off her paper at his office and wrote a note on it.

2. If Jim followed her in his car all the way to her apartment, he'd have to have been on foot to follow her through locked gates and across the old campus to Phelps Gate. His car would thus be quite far away.

Again, if he got lucky and severed her aorta on the first or second stab there would not be much external bleeding.

We need to discuss this more. There are two scenarios: 1. throat then head wounds, and 2. head then throat wounds.

1. Throat then head

A slashed throat as you have indicated would bleed profusely bringing quick death. At that point there would be little incentive to stab her, let alone in such a hard area as through one's skull.

2. Head then throat

How about this scenario: the killer struck first to the head, which, due to the hardness of the area, didn't kill her. So he kept stabbing her until she was essentially lifeless. Then he slit her throat just to be "sure" she was dead.
