Call for new agency probe of killing

(New Haven-AP Dec. 4, 2003 8:10 AM) _ It's been five years since somebody stabbed a Yale student to death and some people say it's time New Haven police turned the investigation over to some other agency.

Suzanne Jovin was killed on a New Haven street corner five years ago today and no one has been charged in her death.

Supporters of the only person mentioned as a suspect, former Yale lecturer James Van de Velde, say the investigation should be turned over to the state's cold case unit.

Van de Velde's lawyer says the investigation was botched from the very beginning.

Several days after the murder, police said Van de Velde, Jovin's senior thesis adviser, was in the "pool of suspects."

Police have never publicly removed him from the pool, nor have they publicly identified any other possible suspects.

Van de Velde has consistently maintained his innocence and he has never been charged.
