Viv, the last article in the New Haven Register about the grand jury investigation of New Haven Police corruption appeared on August 4th. There are also only two articles I see that mention the Jovin murder. One is the one I just posted about Officer DiLullo, a lead investigator in the case, and the other is in a story published on 8/29/00 about George W. Bush's daughter attending Yale this fall as a Freshman:

The massive wave of good publicity Yale is currently enjoying — three Yalies are running for the nation’s two highest elected offices — has come after two rough years at the Ivy League school.

The murder of Yale senior Suzanne Jovin in 1998, followed by news that a Yale faculty member was a suspect, was the first blow. The arrest and conviction of Yale Professor Antonio Lasaga on child pornography and sex assault charges kept Yale in the spotlight.

The mood on campus is decidedly more upbeat today with Texas Gov. George W. Bush, a 1968 Yale grad, vying for the presidency on the Republican ticket,

His running mate, former U.S. Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, was admitted to Yale in 1959 but dropped out in his sophomore year. Cheney’s vice presidential counterpart for the Democrats, Connecticut Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, graduated from Yale in 1964.

On the former, I very much hope the grand jury also looks at the handling of the Jovin murder. In fact, I am contemplating writing a letter to the Register to demand as such. On the latter, it seems that just about everyone officially associated with the investigation has suffered in one form or another.

Yes, I and a friend did put up more reward posters in downtown New Haven a few weeks ago. The idea was to put them in places where they hadn't previously been hung. I haven't been back there to see if they are still up, and I have no access to the police to know if they generated any calls. If you have any ideas about what to do next, I'm open to anything, no matter how seemingly off-the-wall.
