Twenty-seven years ago today, an idealistic 21-year-old Yale student with a promising future named Suzanne Jovin was stabbed to death several blocks from my home in an upper-class neighborhood of New Haven.
I wonder if better DNA technology could lead to some answers. In a different case, a brother (many years later) confessed to killing his sister so her body would be exhumed. The DNA testing led to the real killer.
This saddens me to no end. I was working two blocks from the scene of her murder at the time and have my own thoughts about the who and the why of this case but, sadly, no solid evidence to offer. Time has a way of erasing both the people who might have had something significant to say and the memories of exactly what happened on that tragic night. I salute you, Randy, for being a part of the effort to both remember Suzanne and offering hope that someday we might know the truth.
Alas, I am told there is no DNA with which to work.
