Has the possibility of a random killer been discarded?

No. Worse, it's gotten scant if any discussion.

My favorite route for running while I lived in New Haven was all the way up College Street/Prospect Street. One evening, a few hundred yards before I had reached the Yale ice hockey rink, five neighborhood kids on bikes charged me from behind. One of them came up on the sidewalk and took a swing at my head slightly grazing it. Once alerted, I was able to run across a lawn and duck behind a building to "escape". Never had happened to me in the years prior or the years after. The point is, random, unexplainable attacks do happen.

One of the "problems" with the random killer(s) argument is that people talk. You tell a buddy, one day you piss off your buddy, he squeals. Happens all the time. I'm sure the New Haven police have their inner-city informants asking around. However, what if the killer(s) were from Bridgeport? If the killer(s) were black, might this be one instance where they might not talk? Sorry, but a murder investigation is not the time to be politically correct (g).
