She said the "workers" were usually young kids, many college age (i.e. many were from the University of Bridgeport). This could explain why a worker would be interested in a fellow college student. could construct a logical scenario using maintenance workers. What if one of them was cruising around New Haven with his friends and he just happened to say "hey, I know that girl." The car stopped, Jovin recognized the worker and thus even if there were a racial issue (let's be blunt: many Yale white co-eds would be a little uneasy if a car of black kids stopped to talk to them, especially if they were alone in a lesser populated stretch of road), since she recognized one of the guys, put her guard down. This could very logically explain the familiarity with New Haven while also logically explaining why there was no "buzz" among the New Haven locals who might have known if one of their own had been involved. This might also explain why, after a failed robbery, it was necessary to kill her (since she could have identified one of the killers). quite reasonable bordering on probable. I guess I had always assumed the "workers" were older family oriented men. Now I think we might be onto something!
