Recall, if you will, her friends saying that Suzanne would NEVER enter a car with someone, or several people, she didn't know, and her friends, parents and sister describing how strong-willed she was. We do not need to revisit the argument of "force," by the drug thugs; rather: That might depend. When I was in college I frequently hitchhiked into Boston or Cambridge. Otherwise you had to take a bus and then a train; it was a pain in the ass. I only did this alone in daylight; at night with one or more people. I'm appalled when I think back; it was dangerous. But my point is this: Suzanne and her friends might have considered hitchhiking one thing, and being "picked up" another, if you follow. And: if we follow your reconstruction, we still haven't dealt with all the blood, or with the fact that a mortally wounded woman, no matter how athletic, is unlikely to have been able to stay on her feet for more than a few minutes after she'd sustained her injuries. Remember also that scalp wounds bleed copiously, even when not severe. If she were still conscious for awhile as she bled to death, she'd have gone into deep shock pretty quickly, I believe.

1. Witnesses to clear Jim Yes, witnesses would have made life much different for Jim. Believe me, he wishes someone could possibly have come forward. Here we have someone working late at the office, who drives just a few blocks home, parks on a quiet street, and walks into a quiet building. To explain: Jim lived in the second floor apartment of the Lutheran Parish House. I think there might be two more residents on the other (upper) floors but the house itself is not technically an apartment building. Also, the house itself is big and wide and not close to the neighboring houses. 2. Hiring a PI This aspect is just one exemplification of what I wrote earlier about why Jim, immediately after becoming a suspect {within 2-3 days of the murder}, should have hired a P.I. His whereabouts during the entire relevant times on the night of December 4th would have confirmed by competent witnesses, and his life during the past year would have been extremely different. As I've said before, Jim was incredulous about him being the primary suspect, or even a suspect at all. However, he had full trust in law enforcement and figured there would be a break and he would be cleared. His strategy is and has been to get Yale to pay for a PI and/or the FBI to take over. 3. Timeline The most time I can squeeze out here is 35 minutes (9:15 Peter Stein to 9:55 911 call less time to talk to Peter, return keys, and time for the person who found the body to find a phone and call 911.) Then we have to subtract time for her to have met and talked to the person who killed her. I suppose she could have jogged there in her hiking boots and maroon fleece coat, and I suppose someone could have joined her on her walk in mid stride, but I highly doubt it. - Jeff
