Why are no fingerprints interesting? Where should they have been found? On the body? I didnt' know that they could take fingerprints off clothes or skin... On the knife fragment? It was just the point of the blade that was found, how often do you touch the point of a knife? Or if, as someone (Janice?) wondered, it was a swiss army type, sure you grab the blade to open it, but then the blade rotates out and any fingerprint you might leave is probably completely ruined by the rotation of your finger on the blade.

We need to distinguish between crime of passion and crime of rage. There is a major distinction. In the former you have an existing relationship (real or imagined) that brings an emotional response (such as rage). With the latter, the rage could happen for any reason such as being angry at the world, high on drugs, etc. We've discussed how hard it would be to have stalked Suzanne that night, we've discussed how she never gave any indications to anyone she was on her way to meet someone, and we've discussed the problems with the "my secret rendez-vous partner killed me" theory. That's why I have a hard time thinking she knew her killer(s). Let's not lose sight of the fact that the murder happened fast: about 25 minutes max from meeting to stabbing. And whoever did it obviously had a knife. I'd think if someone had planned for quite some time to kill Suzanne they'd have had a much more robust "killing weapon", like the knife OJ used. I still think the knife is consistent with what someone might carry routinely. I keep thinking back to when I was attacked in New Haven while jogging. They obviously didn't know I was going to be there. I recall they all flew past me on their bikes, slammed on their brakes, and then came back. Someone probably told the others "let's get him". Had I not escaped across yards, who knows, one of those kids might have pulled out a knife and stabbed me to death. One thing that must not be overlooked is that people do things as a group they often never would do individually. The fact that Suzanne had to have been in a car makes me think there was more than one person in that car with her. - Jeff

Also I was surprised at the "murder committed at the location found." That one I'm definitely having trouble with. So am I. The glaring problem with that theory is not a single witness I'm aware of has ever said the crime scene was very bloody. - Jeff
