$150,000 reward for information leading to those responsible for the brutal murder of Suzanne Jovin.

(Updated: 01/24/07)

Suzanne Jovin was murdered just before 10 p.m. on December 4, 1998 in an upscale neighborhood in New Haven, CT, just blocks north from Yale's campus. She was stabbed 17 times in the head, neck, and back and left lying near a grassy patch adjacent to the sidewalk. Her case remains unsolved.

Suzanne, a senior at Yale Univ. (class of '99), was killed 4 days before her senior thesis was due. The topic of her thesis was going to be about Osama bin Laden. She had dropped off a new draft of her thesis hours before her brutal stabbing to the office of her thesis advisor (who has top secret Pentagon clearance and is an expert on Bin Laden) who was the only suspect ever publicly named in her killing and has never been officially cleared from the case. As far as we can tell, her thesis draft has never been released to the public.

At about 9:25 p.m., Suzanne was seen walking north on College Street towards Elm Street, coming from the direction of Phelps Gate on the Yale campus. This was the last time witnesses saw Suzanne prior to her meeting the person responsible for this vicious attack.

At about 9:45 p.m. near the intersection of East Rock & Edgehill Rd where Suzanne's body was discovered, witnesses reported hearing what sounded like an argument between a man and a woman and Suzanne was heard saying, "I can't believe you're doing this!" as if she was speaking to someone she knew. Afterwards, someone reported hearing a women scream five times.

East Rock and Edgehill Roads are in a residential area about two miles from Phelps Gate. Suzanne could not have walked to the scene from Phelps Gate in the time that passed before she was murdered. Police believe that someone she knew drove Suzanne there. It is very unlikely that she would have voluntarily gotten into a car with a stranger, or that she was forcibly abducted without someone witnessing something.

There is a reward of $150,000 being offered for information leading to identity of those responsible for her brutal murder. People are ask to call the New Haven Police Department at 1-866-888-TIPS.

The site was set up by KT from Killtown and Roxdog in memory of Suzanne Jovin and to help find those responsible for her brutal murder.

We did not see any dedicated memorial and/or investigation site about her murder on the internet and felt compelled after reading about her tragic murder to help keep her memory alive and to also help keep her case in the limelight until her murder is solved.
