Suzanne Joven was a 21-year-old German-born American student attending Yale University in 1998.

A highly intelligent woman, Suzanne is nearing the end of her tenure with the prestigious

university and is working on the newest draft of her senior essay. On the night of December 4, 1998,

Suzanne has organized a pizza-making party for the volunteer organization Best Buddies.

After dropping a friend off with a vehicle borrowed from Yale, she returns to her apartment

where she emails a friend to whom she wants to loan some books. In the email, Suzanne explains

she needs to retrieve the books from someone else who has already borrowed them. At 9.10 pm,

Suzanne leaves her apartment to return the keys to the vehicle she had borrowed.

Less than an hour later, a couple passing by the corner of Edge Hill and East Rock Roads will

place a frantic 911 call, reporting a young woman bleeding on the sidewalk.

Suzanne Joven sustains fatal injuries, having been stabbed 17 times by an unknown assailant.

Witnesses will place Suzanne two miles from the scene of her death just 20 minutes prior to the 911 call.

In the wake of this brutal murder, the New Haven Police Department will begin their investigation,

and through a series of missteps and poor decisions, one man will become their prime focus,

while vital evidence goes unprocessed, and Suzanne's family cries out for justice.

Nearly 20 years later, after lawsuits and settlements, forensic errors and the clearing of the

prime suspect, the case grows cold and only theories come to the surface. Was Suzanne targeted

by an angry mentor? Was she the victim of an international terrorist organization?

Were the police involved in a cover-up? Was a troubled Yale student responsible or did a

complete stranger make the vicious decision to end Suzanne's life for no reason at all?

Assistant State's Attorney James Clark sums the case up, saying,

no person is a suspect in the crime, and everyone is a suspect in the crime.
