<<That's why I still favor the random killer theory be the motive robbery, violence, or both.>>

There was "no struggle" meaning Suzanne probably knew the person driving the car so the "random killer" doesn't hold up here.

Wasn't the loud argument at Edgehill 'Road' much closer to the time she was last seen at College St rather than when she was discovered? It would indicate she was picked up not long after she was last seen, and that the victim was transported to the crime scene by 9:30 - 9:45 and that developments there may have taken 15-25 minutes. Were there any tapes of the victim such as dissertations, etc. which could be used to confirm that she was involved in that argument?

Re: The times/distances.. and the random/planned meeting.

.

Thank you, Jeff, for driving the routes, and marking the time and distance. It is enormously helpful in narrowing the focus of the timeframe.

<... we're now down to 14 minutes of idle car time. My thinking is that 14 minutes is enough time to drive around and/or park and talk for a while ....>

Excellent, Jeff. Based on your calculations, IMO, your "14 minutes" approximation makes considerable sense. In a previous post, you indicated that you thought you would soon be able to talk to the witness who saw Suzanne on North College/Prospect between 9:25 - 9:30, to determine the exact location of that sighting, please let us know how that is progressing.

<I have a hard time believing a talk between two people who knew each other could escalate to murder in 14 minutes especially when there's a high likelihood such a meeting was not mutually planned nor the victim stalked...>

This is where I cannot agree, particularly with, when there's a high likelihood such a meeting was not mutually planned .

Based on her actions from the time she returned to her apartment through the time she saw her friend at 9:15 PM:

1. At appx. 8:40, declined invite to go to movies bcse. she was working on her paper;

2. At 9:05, email to friend to obtain books from lobby [presumeably, rather than directly from Suzanne]; and,

3. At 9:15, telling friend she was very tired and wanted sleep, yet not directly returning to apt. after delivering the car keys,

IMO, Suzanne was planning on meeting someone, and that the meeting was most likely mutually agreed to be clandestine.

With whom she planned to meet, and whether or not she met with that person, are unanswered at this time.

As someone here thought a planned meeting or not might be partially determined by whether Suzanne changed her clothes, it could be helpful if we knew how she was attired at the pizza party at Trinity. Jeff -- Could you locate someone who was at the party [ ideally the person she drove home] to ascertain how she was attired? It would appear likely to me that photos were taken at the party.

Being that the "planned clandestine meeting" is only my impression and opinion, reply thoughts in this regard [and all other aspects of the situation] are welcome from all who are participating and reading this thread.

As an aside, while I do not know the details of the NHPD "official investigation," based on the published statements, we appear to be making better headway in 9 days than that august agency <g> has made in a year. Kudos to all of you.
