Suzanne Jovin must not be forgotten
Edited on Sat Dec-06-03 12:11 PM by DuctapeFatwa

It was exactly four years ago this week that Suzanne Jovin, DC '99, was found stabbed to death less than two miles off campus in the normally sedate East Rock section of New Haven. No arrests have been made in the case, and the only named suspect, former Yale professor James Van de Velde, has moved on to a new city and a new job. Little mention of the case is ever made...

Jovin, a senior, through the "Best Buddies" program, a program Jovin coordinated that year which sets up Yale students with mentally disabled "buddies." There was a Best Buddies pizza party the evening of the murder... Jovin was discovered dead less than two hours later...stabbed 17 times in the neck, back, and head..Money was discovered in one of her pockets, and her earrings and watch had not been taken..

...speculation raged that Van de Velde, who was her thesis advisor, had murdered her because she had spurned him as a lover. And while no evidence ever emerged to justify such a theory, it nevertheless managed to ruin the former professor's life and academic career. Meanwhile, Jovin's thesis was on international terrorism, with a specific focus on a Saudi citizen by the name of Osama bin Laden....

4. The Osama connection is pretty damn interesting
Yale is a pretty "spooky" place if you get my drift.

Perhaps she discovered some of the unseemly ties between Yale and Osama (Google Yale and Sudan and Osama for details on THAT story)

5. here's one link
it is one reason the skull connection to Kerry bugs me out.

Dean went to Yale (and so did the Clintons - law school) - but Dean was not in Skull and Bones. But the secret sopcieties are where the money gets put to finance creepy things like slavery and oil deals with the Bin Ladens in the Sudan
