Thanks for understanding I have an opinion. If I knew for a fact what happened that night there would be no need for discussion, n'est pas? Also, if this crime had a textbook solution I'd think a full year later it would have been solved by now, or at least there would be some strong leads. That simply is not the case. No blood, fiber, tissue, finger print, murder weapon, motive, etc. At least none the police have told us about.
As I've said before, one must look at the known facts and then figure out from there how a scenario may have occurred. Sure we can all make up absurd sounding scenarios, but the real question is whether an absurd scenario for one theory makes a "competing" theory less absurd? For example, taking what you wrote in reverse order:
carefully pushed or pulled out of the Thugwagon, so she would be lying face-down on soft grass, at an intersection in a high class, well-lighted, residential area, where many people were outside walking, walking their dogs or attending a party, without the activity being seen by anyone; and, responding to a call, found by the Police at 9:58 PM...
Absurd or not, you seem to be forgetting Suzanne was was found in such a place, and in a position you described. To put things in perspective:
1. On a "well-lighted, residential area, where many people were outside walking, walking their dogs", is it more likely people will be alerted by a) a car stopping, a door slamming, someone being chased by a crazed killer while yelling and screaming, someone then running back to the car, or b) a car pulling over, a car door opening, and a (dead) body being quickly pushed out?
2. Who would be more likely to dump a body or commit a murder in a "high class, well-lighted, residential area": a) someone who lives in the area who people might be able to identify and whose car might be recognized, or b) someone who is driving a stolen car who doesn't live in the area and isn't afraid of being recognized?
In my opinion, I would say "b" in both cases is the higher probability answer. Do you disagree?
..asked if she had any money, an ATM card, or a sack full of cheese and porridge, answered in the negative, taken at her word, without being physically searched, disheveled and even partially disrobed or molested, slashed across her throat and stabbed, stabbed 16 more times until near death or dead; then, within 18 minutes of her initial abduction...
People seem to be fixated on the fact that the 17 stab wounds indicate a crime of passion as opposed to "plain old" violence. So:
1. In what scenario is a sexual assault most likely: a) when the killer has a "passion" for the victim, or b) when the killer doesn't know the victim?
2. When a robbery victim is threatened with death if they don't tell the truth about whether they have any money or credit cards on them, what scenario is more likely to occur: a) they are assaulted out of anger, or b) they are stripped searched.
I think you know my answers. (g)
...by three or four male thugs, Dasher, Prancer, Grumpy and Dopey, who have never been seen by anyone and are not known to exist, whisked away in a circa 1981 Thugwagon Supreme, that has never been seen by anyone and is not known to exist...
Just because no one saw or heard anything doesn't mean these people do not exist. The fact is we don't know where Suzanne was picked up, a few feet away from where she was last seen or a mile. Ask yourself this question, who is more likely to have evaded the police all this time: a) someone known to Suzanne and her friends and family who has most likely been interviewed and checked out by now, or b) people who were from a different crowd and have since returned to it?
strong and brilliant 21-year old Yale Senior, Suzanne Jovin, without uttering a sound, nor fighting or resisting, was abducted from the sidewalk without being seen by anyone, forced into a vehicle...
Again, you are presuming it is known exactly where Suzanne entered into a car. Ever driven a car in what appeared like heavy traffic, passed the lead cars, and it was clear sailing for a while? OK, let's assume there were people out and about where Suzanne entered a car. Who would more likely meet Suzanne in such an area: a) someone who didn't fear being seen because they didn't think they'd be recognized, or b) someone who had arranged a "top secret" meeting, telling Suzanne not to tell a soul and that even meeting at her apartment would be too risky?
Yes, if there were yelling and screaming then yes I would have expected people to notice, assuming there were indeed people around. The fact is there is no evidence to suggest such a scenario. Is it more likely a woman with a knife pointed at them and threatened with death unless they cooperate will yell or accede? I don't know. IMO, yes, I think if any person would resist it would have been someone like Suzanne, but -- and this is a big but -- I'd also have expected someone like Suzanne to also have fought with her attacker if she had the chance. Apparently she didn't have a chance. So, my last question is: In what scenario would Suzanne most likely be taken by surprise: a) when someone she knows and has been involved in a heated argument with pulls out a knife, or b) when someone she doesn't know, with perhaps a penchant for violence, who has been holding a knife near her for some time finally, without warning, stabs her because he suddenly got pissed off?

P.S. I liked the part about Dasher, Prancer, Grumpy and Dopey, as it was somewhat Christmas-y. However, I somehow can't envision those guys driving a Thugwagon Supreme circa 1981. Back to wrapping for me. :)
