Hi Harry, Nice to see you post here.

<<I am of the opinion that it is probable that she resisted strongly>>

Problem with this is that we have been lead to believe that there were little to no defensive wounds on SJ's body. Consequently we have to assume little to no resistance from her.

This then would mean that there was an element of surprise in the attack. That then leads to

1. knowing her attacker and not suspecting the attack or

2. being quickly overpowered by one or more attackers and not having the time to resist.

The wounds being mainly from the back also indicate the element of surprise.

The slit throat could have been the final strike to insure death but if so, it was done with a broken knife. Only way of knowing that would be from the autopsy report.

There are many unaswered questions in this one.

BTW I used to live in the East Bay and am very familiar with your area. You are right, it is lovely:-)
