 Science Fair Projects - Suzanne Jovin case
On December 4, 1998, a Yale University political science and international relations student from Goettingen, Germany, named Suzanne Jovin, was found stabbed to death in New Haven's East Rock neighborhood, where a large fraction of Yale's students and faculty live.
The ensuing investigation did not result in official findings; however leaks to the local newspaper, the New Haven Register, indicated first that Jovin's killer was someone she knew, then that it was one of her instructors.
Late in 2001, the case made a slight return to public consciousness due to what is, if not an eerie coincidence, then a chilling connection; one of Van de Velde's fields of expertise, and the subject of Jovin's thesis, was Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda.

Suzanne was raised "as [an] American in Germany with all that implies," her father wrote in one of a series of E-mails to me. She grew up speaking English and German fluently, although German was the language she usually spoke with her sister and closest friend, Rebecca, who is 20.
"Suzanne expressed to a fellow student that we, her parents, might have that information," the Jovins say, "but that we would be opposed to the project on moral and ethical grounds and that she therefore would not proceed further." Faced with students' objections, Van de Velde stopped the project.
Jovin was concerned, her parents say, that the second reader of her essay would not be happy with it.

Jovin told Stein that she was returning the keys to the station wagon at Phelps Gate.
Jovin¹s death triggered a joint New Haven-Yale police department investigation that included the assistance of renowned forensics expert and State Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety Dr. Henry Lee, as well as an FBI criminal profiling unit.
They include how Jovin ended up an un-walkable distance away from Phelps gate less than half an hour after she was last seen, why the police named Van de Velde in a pool of suspects for the homicide, and why they have not named any others in that pool.

 With reputation at stake, Van de Velde fights back | Jan 26, 2001
Van de Velde, a former diplomat and political science lecturer, was working closely with Jovin as her senior thesis adviser at the time of her death.
In the Quinnipiac lawsuit, however, Van de Velde claims that it was his publicized connection to the Jovin investigation that prompted the university to terminate his candidacy and make the slanderous and libelous statements to the media.
One interesting aspect of the case that goes unexplained is why, if the article in the Courant was so devastating, Van de Velde waited nearly two years after the article was published to file suit.

Even so, it was not the heartbreaking death of an outstanding young woman that made the Jovin case a national story through the first year of her death.
The permanent coupling of the homicide with a case of false accusation began within a week of the crime with the local headline "Educator Grilled in Jovin Matter." Thereafter, the victim's name was linked to that of her thesis adviser, James Van de Velde, one of the university's most popular lecturers.
Thomas and Donna Jovin are all too aware that their daughter's death never got the kind of full-throttle effort seen in the Half and Susanne Zantop case, the husband-and-wife Dartmouth College professors murdered in New Hampshire on Jan. 27, 2001.

One man would stand to gain from suggestions that Jovin's death bore a relationship to her terrorism thesis: Jovin's instructor, James Van de Velde, who lost his Yale job and his reputation after police identified him as a suspect in the murder.

Even if that were the case, a student's consensual relationship with a professor is only an embarrassment, not the sort of thing that justifies a rational man taking the extreme measures Van de Velde (then single; family concerns were not at issue) was accused of.
Jovin was stabbed several times, and found screaming by an eyewitness who saw a van at the scene (not Van de Velde's Jeep).
Occam's Razor suggests that the simplest and best explanation for Jovin's fate was that she was killed by someone she didn't know as she walked alone through a bad area at night.

On December 4, 1998, senior Suzanne Jovin was found stabbed to death and left at an intersection in a neighborhood adjacent to the Yale campus which housed many Yale professors and graduate students.
Nevertheless, her likely presence there turned the half-hour timeline upside-down, and raised the probability that her attacker(s) had forced her into a vehicle, attacked her, and then dumped her--not the type of news Yale parents want to hear.
Subsequent tests of material taken from beneath her fingernails revealed DNA that did not match Van de Velde’s, that of her boyfriend, any other friend or acquaintance, or any emergency worker who tried to save her.

First, Brodhead noted, “As you probably know, initial reports circulated through the media advanced the case against the students; more recent reports have made the case in their favor.” This sentence is true.
In fact, what Brodhead terms the “initial reports [that] circulated through the media [which] advanced the case against the students” have proven, in many cases, to be completely false (such as Nifong’s assurance that DNA evidence would identify the guilty, or his “hinting” to Newsweek that the players used a date rape drug).
