First of all, there's no way she was killed where they found her. I just don't see it happening. There's a good deal of blood coming out of someone whose life is being taken from 17 stab wounds. Regardless of whether or not only one was the fatal wound, you've still got 16 others and the head bleeds like a stuck pig. The victim's heart is racing and therefore, the blood is gonna be pumping from those wounds.

Did the killer wear a poncho? He'd of had to to keep all the blood off him. Stabbing is a very personal crime, you've got to get up close and personal with the victim. Was he using an upper thrusting motion or was he using a downward motion when stabbing her? The angle is the most likely piece of evidence to show whether the killer is left or right handed as well as his approximate height and it also tells how much force was used. It can also tell if there were more than one person stabbing her.

There's so much information that isn't being told. Has any of these questions been asked of the police? I do hope the FBI is brought in. These are the types of things that they look at from the get go.

Also recall from the 20/20 show that only one wound was considered fatal. My guess is that that wound was the one to the throat.

If that's true, then there'd have been gouts of blood, as the killer would have been likely to hit an artery.
