You also need to think "car".

I believe a car was involved. However I do not believe we can rule out a fast paced walk followed by a chase/run.

There were no defensive wounds and apparently all head wounds were to the rear, not to the face. This implies Suzanne had her back to the killer.

Agreed but she could have been on the ground with her face to the ground. The lack of blood indicates she was killed on the grass. If she were killed in a car there would have been a lot more blood on the body. And most likely al least a few drops on the street as she was thrown out of the car. (perhaps there were drops on the street but there should/would?have been an intense search at the scene and none was reported..I am sure other things have not been reported as well)

Where is the knife? In the glove compartment, under the seat, in his pocket? Either way, it would take time to access. It's hard to imagine Suzanne wouldn't have noticed this and been in a defensive position.

That is way it took him a long block to catch up to her

The only other alternative is the car was stopped and she was in the process of trying to get out. The killer would probably have lunged at her. The steering wheel would have severely restricted his movement

Agreed, that is why he got out of the car and chased her.

So if the wounds don't fit those we'd expect of a driver, now we're talking they must have come from a passenger.

Or as noted above

Given the angle of someone putting pressure on her back it would mean the head would be a likely and easy target

Agreed, but she could have been face down on the grass.
