The New Hampshire police allegedly cracked the case as follows:

Dennis McClure, the sheriff for Chelsea, Vt., the youths' hometown, told the Associated Press yesterday that the two youths became suspects because one bought a military-style knife on the Internet.

It is believed that investigators were able to trace the manufacturer of the knife from a sheath left at the crime scene and that they obtained from the company a list of knife purchases made over the Internet.

If so, that's good police work. Recall in the Jovin murder the forensics experts found the tip of the knife lodged in her skull. I've asked this before but it's worth asking again: did the police make any attempt to determine the type of metal used, which companies manufacture knives of that composition, and where they are sold around New Haven?
