I can't see why if there were any bruises from hits to the head they would have been withheld from the media.

If she were killed almost immediately after being hit, how much bruising would there have been? Jim saw an autopsy photo. Had they shaved off her hair? If not, unless there were swelling and/or a cranial fracture, they might not even have noticed.

In addition, my reading of mystery novels suggests that there are ways of knocking someone out that don't leave a trace, but I don't think we're dealing with an expert in this case.

Have read over many of the posts on this thread and have put together some of my thoughts.

The most important piece of evidence, as was noted once before, would be the "hightailing" red car seen leaving the scene of he crime. The witness saw it well enough to be able to tell that Jim wasn't the driver, perhaps he would be able to identify the make/model of the vehicle. And as is done sometimes he/she could have been hypnotized to possibly get the license number. At any rate, every attempt should have been made to cross check data files on stolen cars,friends/acquaintances of Suzanne, those with a criminal past,etc. etc.

It is interesting to note upon viewing a broader map of the area just how close Interstate Hwy 91 is to the crime scene. I think someone suggested comparing mo's to other possible crimes committed along the 91 corridor.

I don't find plausible the theory of her being killed in a vehicle and then pushed out onto the side of the road at 71 Edge Hill. She was found lying face down while someone thrown from a car would most likely land on their side. I suppose she could have gotten up right away, walked a bit and then collapsed, but I think the blow to her head (where knife broke off) would have rendered her unconscious. At that point she would have to have been carried out of the vehicle to end up face down. The killer(s) would have been in too big a hurry to spend this much time.

Also, I notice that Albertus Magnus College is at the west end of East Rock Rd. Any possibility this could have been a destination of Suzanne's? I think I remember reading the Yale library closed at 9pm, is it possible the AM library was open later?
