Yes, that's still a problem. But in the car scenario we were assuming first of all that she wasn't picked up immediately, and second, that it took some time for things to get to the point at which the assailants decided to kill her.

If, on the other hand, she had an appointment to meet Buddy on the street corner in question after dropping off the car keys, she'd have had time to get there, walking briskly, I think.

Re: Determining the exact composition of the knife

Excellent idea. I was wondering if that would yield some good clues. Based upon what you've said about the various possibly unique compositions, easily verified by checking various knife sites on the net, it's an absolute no-brainer. One has to wonder why the police haven't already done this (at least I've not heard any report they have, and the only press conference they gave in the past year was on 12/4, the one year anniversary of the murder; recall that's when the police said they had 10 suspects in the pool which 20/20 pointed out was a blatant lie.)

If the knife is sold in New Haven stores that would be a big clue. If it's sold in Bridgeport, that's another. If it's a trade knife (used by a carpenter, fisherman, cook, etc.), that's also a big clue. If it's a cheap knife picked up almost anywhere that's revealing as well. The police spent $86,000 in overtime alone in the first two and a half months of the investigation. You'd think getting the knife point analyzed would have been a priority, but, then again, nothing the New Haven police have done in this investigation seems to make any sense.
