Re: 6/11/09 - Hartford Courant: Investigators Reach Out To Yale's Class Of 1999 For Help In Solving Slaying YALE SLAYING Investigators Reach Out To Yale's Class Of 1999 For Help In Solving Slaying By DAVID OWENS \| The Hartford Courant June 11, 2009 NEW HAVEN — - The team of investigators working to solve the 1998 killing of Yale senior Suzanne Jovin has appealed to her classmates for assistance. A letter distributed to members of the Yale Class of 1999 at its reunion this past weekend asked them to contact investigators if they could provide additional information. Assistant State's Attorney James Clark, who is leading the team now investigating the 10-year-old homicide, said it's possible that people have information they didn't pass on to investigators for any number of reasons. Investigators also have a lot more information than they did 10 years ago and there are different questions investigators want to ask. "Someone who was spoken to three days into it was asked different questions than someone who gets asked questions 10 years later," Clark said. Investigators are "simply trying to cover every base possible," Clark said Wednesday. The team has already reached out to the large Yale community through the alumni association and the Yale Daily News. The letter, written by Linda Koch Lorimer, Yale's vice president and secretary, asks Jovin's classmates to consider assisting the investigation. "It is heart-wrenching that this horrible crime has not been solved," Lorimer wrote in the letter. "Mr. Clark and his investigation team ask you to consider whether you might have any information that might shed additional light on this case, and they ask those who have been interviewed before to consider speaking with them again." The number to call is 203-676-1575. Jovin, 21, was stabbed 17 times and left for dead on a street near Yale's campus on Dec. 4, 1998. Investigators said that little physical evidence was found and that a weapon was never recovered. The case has been investigated by New Haven police, the state's attorney's office, the state forensics laboratory, several federal agencies and private investigators hired by Yale and Jovin's family. A team based at New Haven State's Attorney Michael Dearington's office is now investigating the case. Jovin, of Goettingen, Germany, spoke four languages and co-founded the university's German club. She was last seen alive after returning a university van that she had borrowed for a party thrown by Best Buddies, a group that pairs Yale students with people with mental disabilities. courant.com
