Chief Wearing is a genius. He "solved" the Jovin murder without making an arrest. Here's how he did it. In Dec. of 98 Chief Wearing had a major problem on his hands. A female Yale student was murdered in his city and he didn't have a clue as to who killed her. His detectives worked around the clock for weeks trying to find a motive, a piece of physical evidence, an eyewitness, a license plate number, anything at all. But alas they found nothing. By now Chief Wearing was feeling the intense heat from the Yale community and the local politicians to find the murderer. The public was outraged and wanted to feel safe on New Haven streets again. The Chief had to do something fast. Then the idea hit him like a freight train. NAME A SUSPECT. Fantastic, everybody knows that a suspect is usually guilty. It couldn't be just anybody though. It had be someone who knew the victim, lived in New Haven, was single, lived alone and most importantly had NO ALIBI for the night Suzanne was killed. Bingo, James Van de Velde was the perfect suspect. The Chief knew that most of the political pressure to make an arrest would go away if he named a suspect. All he had to do now was call a press conference and announce he had a "list" of suspects. The reporters would pressure him to name the suspects and that's when he would name Van de Velde. His scheme worked perfectly. Yale believed he found the murderer and promptly fired Jim. The politicians congratulated the Chief on a job well done. The Chief convinced the people of New Haven that an arrest was imminent as soon as they find that last piece of evidence that will get them a conviction in court. Even Jim did the "right thing" by moving to California. Now the good people of New Haven could stroll in the park again without the fear of having their throat cut. Ten years from now the Chief will still be "looking" for that one piece of evidence that will convict James Van de Velde of Suzanne's murder. He will still be saying that Jim is a suspect. If he didn't say that it would mean there is an unidentified killer running loose in New Haven. Everybody knows we can't have that, can we? As far as Chief Wearing is concerned this murder case is solved because James Van de Velde decided to stay home that night and watch the Discovery channel.
