JD,

I agree with your assessment, particularly item #5

<5. Stalking could easily have been continuous with the actual time of attack being more or less random>

The theory that the attack was connected to her thesis topic and conducted by trained assassins provides the opportunity to tie together several other odds and ends like:

*Possible use of a drug by someone who comes up from behind to immobilize Suzanne to make it easier to get her into the car.

*Why there is so little forensic evidence surrounding this attack. Several trained assassins working as a team would seem to be less likely to leave any stray forensic evidence than a lone killer committing an unpremeditated crime of passion or a gang of "wilders" out looking for a "Yalie" to kill.

*Unsolved crimes are more likely to occur when the killer does not know the victim. Trained assassins could have been "imported" for the actual crime and then vanished without a trace when it was over because there would be no personal connection to tie them to the victim. It is even possible that the connection between the killers and Suzanne was so remote that they felt comfortable renting a car, maybe from an airport several hundred miles away; using the car to commit the crime; and then casually returning it after having it professionally detailed.

I don't remember who first suggested the possibility that she was held down and stabbed on the floorboards of the back seat but this sounded plausible to me. It would have been logical to keep Suzanne on the floor so that she would not be visible through the car windows.

I also wonder if the multiple stab wounds made to the back of her head with a small, common knife might have been made after death to disguise the true cause of death and make it look like a 'crime of passion.'
