It seems more logical (to me) that if Suzanne planned to be home in a half hour she'd have replied "Come by after 10pm; if I'm going to sleep I'll put it in the lobby." The counter argument is that she just didn't want to have to worry about a personal visit. If so, then wouldn't it be more polite to offer an excuse like "I'll be out for the night so if you want to pick up the book tonight I'll put it in the lobby for you."?

It was Friday night; big game, lots of parties. What if Suzanne's friend had told her she was going out and wouldn't be back till after midnight?

Also, if she really were tired and on her way home, why go home via Phelps Gate onto College and then up Elm? That's a significant detour and not well traveled.

But I'm saying that in this scenario she never exited through Phelps Gate. The "witness" didn't really see her on College St; if she saw anyone, it was just a woman who looked like Suzanne. Suzanne would merely have turned round and walked back across campus.

Consider that two people within the space of a tenth of a mile spotted Suzanne.

As noted, I'm extremely sceptical of the second witness's testimony.

The witness' story makes too much sense to be fabricated.

Far as I'm concerned it makes no sense at all. She sees Suzanne but doesn't greet her. Then days later, she "remembers" the whole thing well enough to offer fairly detailed descriptions of strangers walking ahead of and behind S? Gimme a break. As I've said, I'm genuinely suprised a lot more people didn't report having "seen" Suzanne and/or Jim that night. In a variety of different locations.

The scenario doesn't change much except then the likelihood of her being on her way back to her apartment goes way way up.

If she walked back across campus the scenario changes a great deal:

1. She was intercepted, and abducted or lured away, by someone she encountered within the campus grounds: a Yale "insider", with Yale ID.

2. She was picked up when she exited the campus very near her apartment.
