ARCHIVE June 2008:  New Clues in Yale Student Murder

City, Yale Learned From Jovin In Annie Le Case

Every Monday, “cold case” investigators gather to reexamine Suzanne Jovin’s unsolved 1998 murder and the paltry, mishandled evidence.

Meanwhile, a week after Annie Le was murdered, cops have closed in on a suspect while they await lab results on bloody clothing found at the scene.

Both gruesome murders involved Yale students. Both shocked the city. Both brought the national press streaming into town. Rick Levin presided over Yale then and now; his university secretary, Linda Lorimer, oversaw the crisis response. The city’s mayor, then as now, was John DeStefano; the top state prosecutor on the case, Mike Dearington.

The similarities end there.  Read More here

ARCHIVE June 2008:  New Clues in Yale Student Murder:    The Law

It's been nearly 10 years since Suzanne Jovin was stabbed to death near Yale University's campus, but investigators are still releasing new clues in the case.

The team of retired detectives looking into Jovin's murder is now re-examining an old lead in the case and has circulated a sketch of a man seen running near the place her body was found.

On Dec. 4, 1998, Jovin, a 21-year-old senior from Goettingen, Germany, was stabbed 17 times in the back and neck, with some defensive wounds on her arms, just a little more than a mile from the school's campus.

Her body was discovered in a residential area almost immediately following the attack after nearby residents reported hearing screams. She was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital and pronounced dead in the emergency room later that night.  Read full story here
