(Hartford-AP) -- A state hearings officer has ruled that the police file in the murder of Yale University student Suzanne Jovin should remain sealed from the public.

Barbara Housen, an officer for the state's Freedom of Information Commission, writes in her report that divulging the file could taint continuing efforts to solve the 1998 killing.

The full FOI panel will consider her findings in September. The documents were sought by The Hartford Courant and Jeffrey Mitchell, a friend of James Van de Velde, a man police have named
as a suspect in the case.

Jovin was found stabbed the night of Dec. 4, 1998, about two miles from campus. Nobody has been charged.

Mitchell requested a record of the 911 tape reporting Jovin's injuries. He also sought other information detectives shared with Andy Rosenweig, a private investigator hired by Yale to crack the case. The Courant sought the entire file.
