Suzanne Jovin was a 21-year-old senior at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, when her life was cut mercilessly short. December 4th, 1998 started out just like any other day for Suzanne. She woke up early, went to classes, turned in an assignment to her professor, and then attended a Best Buddies volunteer organization pizza party. After that, she returned to her apartment, shot off a quick email to a friend, then set out on foot toward campus again, into the unseasonably warm winter night, to an undetermined location. On her walk, she stopped to chat with an acquaintance and then continued on. Suzanne was found brutally stabbed to death 13 minutes after the conversation with her friend, on a sidewalk in a nice part of town 1.8 miles from where she was last seen.

Police had so many questions. How did she make it almost 2 miles away in under 15 minutes from the last reported sighting of her? Why were her fingerprints and her fingerprints only found on a Fresca soda bottle near to where she was killed? Where had she been going at 9 pm at night with no backpack and just a sheaf of papers in her hands? And, most importantly, who would have wanted to kill Suzanne Jovin, when she had not an enemy in the world?
