It doesn't sound like a robbery at all. Most of the wounds are in the head and area. In a typical robbery/mugging using a knife, the robber wants as little time on scene as possible. They usually go for a couple in the gut maybe in the chest or if the mugger was coming from behind or has an accomplice, then the throat gets cut.

The person that stabbed this girl was pissed and wasn't looking for anything but revenge for some injustice they feel she inflicted upon them.

I've been trying to post links to some articles in the Houston Chronicle citing these differences in stabbing attacks, rage/passion v. robbery/mugging but they site keeps going down. If you want, I'll try later and post them.

Agree "inconclusive" on that point. Based on other evidence though (i.e. number of and location of wounds), I do agree with the police that SJ knew her killer and it was a crime of passion/rage.

I find, "no fingerprints" interesting, at least none known about, as this puts it in the premeditated category.

Also I was surprised at the "murder committed at the location found." That one I'm definitely having trouble with.
