As even attempting to kill someone using a Swiss Army Knife seems quite odd to me..

Yes. What if you accidentally pulled out the wrong attachment? How embarrassing.

But what about a switchblade?

<attempting to kill someone using a Swiss Army Knife seems quite odd to me>

NOT meaning to be argumentative, in reply to a previous post by Janice, I know many men, and a few women {feminine, at that}, who customarily carry a Swiss Army knife, or a pocket knife.

I am presently looking at a "multi-function" Swiss Army knife. It is the "nice" kind, which many gentlemen carry. There is a 2" straight-edge knife and a 3" saw-tooth knife, either of which could easily be the source of the "S & S" on Suzanne Jovin.

IMO, it would be an error to rule-out anyone except a "thug" with a switchblade or "rough" pocket knife. Furthermore, IMO, it is a very big mistake to assume the crime was pre-meditated {even under the definition illustrated by Janice, with which I happen to agree}.

I read ahead to Janice's reply. LOL Should the wrong whatever-you-called-it have been opened, amongst other things, someone's nails would be filed and clean, the wine would be open and/or any jewelry would have been closely examined under a magnifying glass.

Theoretically OJ Simpson used one to murder Nicole, I believe.

Kudos to James R. Barrett and thread members for accurately predicting the murder weapon! We now officially know it was a "four-to-five inch non-serrated carbon steal [sic] knife." A summary of that discussion is in the referenced post as well as a link to a picture of one such knife.
