I don't think this notion is anything but melodrama, but Suzanne, given her age and (lack of) experience, might have fallen for it if someone called and told her that he had Special Information to impart. Imagine what a coup it'd be to have a real scoop for her thesis! Would she have fallen for it? I think there's a very good chance that she would have. Janice, say you're investigating a stock you know for a fact has ties to a violent organized crime group. You get this phone call from someone saying they admire your work on SI and they'd like to meet you privately to tell you some things that might help you. If yes, would you meet that person? If so, would you not tell someone, anyone, about it just to be safe? If still yes, if that person had told you they'd only meet if you promised not to tell anyone would that make any difference as to whether you went or not? If you still think you'd have gone, again, would you have told anyone just to be safe? Do you think you'd have made the same decision at age 21? Given the little we know about Suzanne, do you think she'd be the type to have gone under any circumstance and not told anyone? No way would I go without telling someone and I'd make sure the person I was going to meet knew I had told someone and I'd demand to meet in a public place... that's assuming I'd go in the first place! - Jeff

I find the terrorist scenario highly unlikely. Call me simple, but I believe that the murderer didn't plan a perfect murder, but instead just luckily (for him or her) didn't leave behind enough evidence to point the deed towards them. That and the good fortune to have Jim's tangled web of possible motives available for the police to salivate over.
