Yale Daily News

HOW are they going to find someone who was jogging 10 years ago? He could be dead, out of the country, or -- even if he is still in New Haven, still at the scene of the crime -- completely indiscoverable.

It sounds like the new investigators are throwing a bone out to the public.but if it helps resolve the case then go for it.
But many ,many people were out and about that night because it was about 60 degrees.
maybe this dude hitchhiked his way out of there,and someone might recall picking him up ? do you notice however how the locale of the runner keeps changing ? clearing certain area residents who might look just a little like the Man of interest.
To the highest contributor goes the direction of the mystery man. like a weather vane being spun around.
How do you throw away the "VAN" and the rideshare buddy hopalong from Park street? here's a geeno ,now put a moustache and hat on him

I'm not going to get all excited about this new lead, but it's good that the new team is actively working on it. This case is spookier than a Hollywood spy movie, and it would be great to have some closure.

YDN editors,

Isn't it unethical to change an article after it has been published, especially if you're not going to publish a correction?

Somehow, my comment about your incorrect headline ("a more broader look than ever before") didn't get posted, but the headline was changed.

Apparently the Yale Daily News needs to work not only on grammar, but also on journalistic ethics.

To interested readers,

This story presents an opportunity to explain YDN policy regarding updates to online exclusives. On occasion, a fast-moving story will see several updates over the course of a day. The story will not be changed, however, without clear indication that it has been updated. (See "Updated 6:45 p.m." in today's story.) In the case of this Jovin piece, we also tweaked a subhead, which a commenter keenly exposed as ungrammatical in the original version. ("A More 'Broader Look' Than Ever" changed to "A 'Broader Look' Than Ever Before.") We did not publish a correction for that tweak, even though we indicated the story had been updated, because the alteration had no bearing on the factual accuracy of the story. Had the tweak — whether pointed out by a reader, the reporter or an editor — impacted the accuracy of the story, we would have published not only an "updated" tag, but also a correction.

The fact is that we're human, and we make mistakes; hence, the ungrammatical section headline. So we most definitely continue to appreciate feedback in this still relatively new comment section. Whenever an error is identified — and we will aim always for none in the original — we will correct it with an "updated" tag and a correction. Whenever a stylistic error is identified, we may improve the passage depending on its centrality to the story, yet we will still indicate that an alteration has indeed been made. Thanks for your understanding. Don't hesitate to contact me directly at editor@yaledailynews.com with further questions.

Sincerely, Andrew Mangino, Editor in Chief

It looks like a photograph of Van de Velde. Who happened to be her thesis advisor and live a few hundred feet away from the murder. Coincidence?

Did he stop and comb his hair on Whitney Ave.? use the Ladies mirror ?

"no one is a suspect and everyone is a suspect" so said Mannion,the current investigator in the case.
Now they have a sketch that looks like everyone but no one. i wonder if the Bd.of Alders (new haven)has allocated any consultant fees for this.
Ya know there is someome of way more interest that resided a few feet away from her body ,someone with a relative down around Livingston street. yes we don't want a witch hunt,ya know a lot of this is from the police not following proceedure in the first place.
far fetched as it sounds -will some contractor halt the school project at the end of Huntington on Whitney ?

To recap: The DNA doesn't match the originally named suspect, nor do the fingerprints, nor does said person drive a van, both original motives were disproven, and now we have sketch of a guy 10-20 years younger who the witness specifically said -- nearly 10 years ago -- was not that suspect. Yet the NHPD and Yale have spent years pretending they hadn't made a huge mistake and thus have never issued an apology... allowing morons to believe they see things that were never there. Coincidence?

From what I understand, the poster does NOT look like Van de Velde. This is the kind of irresponsible commenting that led police to falsely accuse Van de Velde in the first place.

I would be interested in the identity of Anon #6. If that person has real information, then perhaps he or she should have the guts to make that known instead of throwing about accusations.

What I do find curious is that there have been two instances in which a university tried to falsely link one of its own to a crime. This is the first incident, and the second is the infamous Duke Lacrosse Case.

In both instances, a central figure was Richard Brodhead. Now, I find THAT to be a most interesting coincidence.

Yah: the Bhead seems to leap to conclusions when it comes to ooh the manlies...baddy boys so jealous

Maybe Mr.Brodhead knows something that John Q public does'nt.It would be nice to hear just what lead Mr.Brodhead to these conclusions.
One thing i know for certain ,there was a lot of pandering to the University from disreputable folks :Realtors/Developers, Police Dept.affiliates.At that time you had a creation of Yale benifits program,University Properties. A mad scramble to obtain positions in these, A literal fight over a privelege to sell you a home.
Does Richard Brodhead have a brother named David ?
There's a high falutin Law office on the Ave.of Americas (NYC). probably irrelevant but interesting nonetheless.
Was money being solicited by our Mayor from Yale Faculty, Alum and any visiting friend of ? A lot of other questions as to what they (Yale) thought of Susan,what was said if anything. Did they not understand (either) as to what Susan was doing with these unfortunates or Non University townies
Not knowing about the Best Buddies perhaps.
One report had her walking towards Hillhouse ave.-Where one of her classes was, another had her walking towards her apartment on Park street at 9:25...
