The first thing we must do is establish a motive. Lets try this on and see if it fits. Unknown to anyone Jim was madly in love with Suzanne. He fantasized about her day and night. He asked her repeatedly to go out with him but was rejected every time. Finally in a stupid act of desperation, on 12/4/98, he told SJ that she would receive a much better grade on her thesis if she agreed to go out with him. Suzanne lost her temper and told Jim he was creep and wouldn't go out with him even if he was the last man on earth. Then she told Jim that she was going to see the dean on Monday and report what he said about giving her a better grade (sex for an "A"). Now Jim started to worry. What if he lost his contract? What if he got fired? What if his career was ruined permanently? He decided he must see SJ right away and try to reason with her. If she wouldn't listen to reason then he would have to kill her. Now we have a theoretical motive. Next, the hard part, how to kill SJ and not leave a speck of evidence.

This is where your questions, Plus, need to be answered by Jeff: The approx. time Jim arrived at and departed the Rink? 8:00-8:15 Did he return to his office? His car was parked in the lot. Not sure if he stopped in his office to get anything. If Yes, what time did he leave? My impression is he left right away. Did he go directly to his apt.? Yes. It is assumed Jim walked to the Rink from his office. True. Did he drive or walk home/his next destination? Drove home. The approx. time Jim arrived at his apt./next location? It's a short drive. Probably under five minutes. Where did Jim park his Jeep when he lived in that apt.? Always on the street. On the night of Dec. 4th, who was the last person to see Jim? I think it was the woman who visited him in his office sometime between 6-7pm. On the night of Dec. 4th, at his apt., did Jim: ,.. Talk to anyone? No. ... Send any emails/faxes? No. I did suggest he check the cable company, which he did, but they don't keep records of routine usage. After arriving at his apt., who was the first person Jim spoke ... to? When? Don't know, but it obviously wasn't sometime between 9:25 and 10:55. Who was the first person to tell him about Suzanne's murder?... When was he told? I know he heard about the murder (in general) on the local 11pm news. I assume, but don't know for sure, he was told late the next morning by Yale who the actual victim was. At some point that day he was asked by a local TV station to comment on her, which he did. That's how the police first became aware of him. Jeff: On behalf of many of us who are trying to assist your pursuit on this thread, it is requested that you simply answer the questions as fully as possible, explaining, if necessary; But, without editorial comments or defenses. TIA! How was that? (g) If need be, I'll get more detailed answers to the above. Let me know if that's necessary. - Jeff

It'd be especially interesting to have answers to these questions: .After arriving at his apt., who was the first person Jim spoke ... to? When? .Who was the first person to tell him about Suzanne's murder? ... When was he told? But as noted, it seems to me that the car issue is hard to get round. Can we think of any way in which it could have been done without a car being involved. As I see it, any "no-car" theory would absolutely require that Suzanne have been killed at the place where she was found.
