This is not Sherlock Holmes with an answer in front of us only to be uncovered. That's exactly right. With a Sherlock Holmes novel you know that by the time you get to the part where Holmes solves the mystery that the murderer is someone you've already encountered. In real life, as in here, the murderer could already be locked up in prison on another crime for all we know. Yes I also share the opinion that the most likely way the Jovin murder will be solved is if (assuming there were more than one person involved, which I believe to be true) one friend sours on another and turns him in, or someone tells their friend, relative, or lover and that person goes to the police. So, what can be done? Well, first and most importantly is to reach a conclusion that a reasonable amount of "evidence" points to a random killer theory. This then allows one to start investigating in that direction without worrying one is offending the senses of those one is questioning. After all, no one likes to think they are being even suspected of murder. For example, do you think I should visit local New Haven high schools and hand out leaflets asking people to call me if they had information to share? If I did so, would I be seen as interfering with the official police investigation? There is a $50,000 reward being offered by the State of Connecticut. If I ever solved the murder I had planned to donate 100% of it to charity. I'd be just as happy to give the money to the "informant" if that's what it took to solve this thing. So, do you think it's worth me going this route? - Jeff
