Suzanne Jovin Biography

Suzanne Jovin is one of the most popular and richest Student who was born on January 26, 1977 in Göttingen, Germany. Suzanne Nahuela Jovin (January 26 1977 – December 4 October, 1998) was born in Germany. She was an American student who was a senior at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, when she was brutally murdered on campus. New Haven, Connecticut’s city New Haven and Yale University have offered a total of $150,000 to anyone who can lead to the conviction and arrest the killer of Jovin. The case is still unsolved. While at Yale, Jovin volunteered as tutor in the Yale Tutoring in Elementary Schools program. He sang in the Freshman Chorus and the Bach Society Orchestra as well as was a co-founder of the German Club, and worked for three years in the Davenport dining hall.

On the 7th of December 2001 Van de Velde filed a lawsuit against the NHPD in federal court in Connecticut and claimed that they had violated his civil rights by naming him as a suspect in public but claiming that there were there were other suspects as well. Van de Velde also added Yale as defendant on April 15th in 2003. U.S. District Judge Robert N. Chatigny dismissed the federal claim with prejudice, and also those under state law with no prejudice on March 15th 2004. Van de Velde requested Chatigny to reconsider his decision in May 2006, and the result was the judge rescinding both the federal and state law claims on December 11, 2007. On June 3 3, 2013, New Haven as well as Yale came to a financial arrangement to settle the case with Van De Velde. the State’s attorney Michael Dearington admitted publicly for the first time that Van de Velde was no anymore an suspect in the case of murder.

The first mention of the existence of the fingernail DNA was on October 26, 2001, following a solicitation by the New Haven police for colleagues, friends and acquaintances of Jovin to come forward and give DNA samples voluntarily. No explanation has ever been given as to why it took nearly three years for the fingernail scrapings to be tested for DNA. On September 14, 2009, Jovin’s parents wrote to Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell that “potential forensic investigations, made possible by significant advances in technology in the intervening decade, are not being carried out due to shortcomings in the Connecticut Forensic Science Laboratory.” Rell’s office admitted that the lab also had a backlog of 12,000 DNA samples that needed to be tested. The DNA results from material collected under a fingernail of Jovin’s left hand remained unmatched until November 2009. It was determined at that time that the DNA matched that of a trace evidence technician in the Connecticut State Police Forensics Laboratory, and was the result of accidental evidence contamination at the lab.

The existence of the Fresca bottle came to light on April 1, 2001, by Hartford Courant reporter Les Gura. The only store in the vicinity of campus that sold Fresca that was still open at the hour Jovin was last seen alive was Krauszer’s Market on York Street near Elm Street – precisely one block south of Jovin’s apartment. Although Krauszer’s maintained a video recording of its customers for security purposes, the police never asked to view their tape and have never reported seeking assistance from store employees or customers about whether they had seen anything unusual that night. The foreign palmprint has yet to be identified and public calls for DNA evidence to be extracted from it and other potential sources have gone unheeded.

The only rumor about the murder weapon was on the 1st of March 2000 edition from ABC’s show 20/20. According to the voiceover of host John Miller: “The medical examiner would later identify only one of the 17 stab wounds as fatal. He would also determine that the murder weapon was a four to five inch nonserrated, carbon steel knife, when he discovered the tip of the blade lodged in the left side of her skull.” According to the New Haven police have never divulged whether any tests have ever been performed to identify the exact make and model of the knife.

When she dropped off her final draft of her senior thesis about Osama bin Laden, the leader of terrorists Osama bin Laden at around 4:45 pm on the evening of the 4th of December, 1998 Suzanne Jovin began preparations for an event she planned in the Trinity Lutheran Church on 292 Orange Street for the local chapter of Best Buddies, an international organisation that brings together people with mental disabilities, including students. At 8:30 pm, having staying up late to tidy up, she drove another of her volunteers home in a station wagon. At 8:45, she drove her car to the Yale owned parking lot at the corner of Edgewood Avenue and Howe Street then walked 2 blocks towards her second floor apartment located at 258 Park Street, upstairs from an Yale police station.

In 2000 Van de Velde as well as colleagues repeatedly and finally publicly urged Yale to engage private investigators from their own to look into the matter. In December 2000, under demand from members of members of the Jovin families, Yale agreed to hire the Jovin family’s team consisting of Andrew Rosenzweig, former chief investigator at the New York district attorney’s office as well as Patrick Harnett, a former commander from the New York Police Department’s major crime team. It was because of their demands that the NHPD permitted the state’s laboratory for forensics to study Jovin’s fingernail scrapings in search of DNA. The resultant DNA, however, and the Fresca bottle fingerprints were an exact match for Van de Velde. This led Harnett to name van de Velde “Richard Jewell with a Ph.D.,” which refers to a innocent man who was devastated due to police media in the year 1996. Yale hasn’t made the findings open to the public, nor has it disclosed its secretive nature.

On January 12, 2001, Van de Velde sued Quinnipiac University for wrongfully dismissing him from a graduate program he was enrolled in there. Van de Velde agreed to drop the lawsuit on January 26, 2004, in exchange for $80,000.
