Having done my share of investigative newspaper reporting over the years, I find it hard to believe that these reporters would discount a witness out of deference to UVa. If they were writing for a UVa publication, of course, the spin would be pro-UVa. No question. But for independent papers...

Yes. Some rooms like this: http://www.virginia.edu/academicalvillage/restoration/images/photos/LawnRoom.jpg Open onto walkways like this: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bLuK4t9Rcug/R_PdRLkB8pI/AAAAAAAAAdI/ke2d2i3ii1M/s320/Under%2Ba%2Bportico%2Balong%2BThe%2BLawn,%2BUVa.JPG

All the small-town papers that I worked for in bygone years would have the paper coming off the presses between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. or so. To be delivering the morning paper to residents of The Lawn at any time between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. would seem very unremarkable to me.

I agree about parking on 29. I gather that the prevailing hypothesis is that she was brought in from the other side, through the residential development.

I got the impression that LE was clearly signaling that the murderer knew the specific area where she was found quite well. It doesn't seem to me to be a place you would get to in the dark (with another person, alive or otherwise) unless you knew where you were going.

Wild!

I agree. Everything about this case reminds me more and more about the murder of a University of Vermont student four years ago. A young woman, out for a night on the town, becomes separated from her friends. Her cell phone doesn’t work. A friendly construction worker lends her his phone...

What evidence do we have that no one is talking? True, no one is talking to US, but why would they?

I'm coming late to this part of the discussion, but I think I recognize what you may be talking about. On Facebook, anyone can post an event page ("Open House at XYZ," "Concert by ABC in Charlottesville," etc.) and then invite other people on Facebook (all of one's Facebook Friends, for...

Okay, I missed that. So perhaps she took the liquor with her. Thx.

I've missed some bits and pieces in this long thread, so maybe this has been addressed -- but something bothers me. She spent about $40 on alcohol just before she left -- Bailey's, Kahlua, vodka and a box of red Franzia wine. At today's prices and in my New England location, 375 ml...

Does anyone have any idea why she was interested in Burlington, Vermont and searched for directions there before she left? Is it known that she had any friends there or had stayed there in the past?

Well, it's an opinion piece. It's not a news article. Yes, it's all assumptions. (My own assumption is that the person who wrote the piece doesn't do much thinking in the deep end of the pool...)

Reminds me of another Virginian, Michelle Gardner-Quinn, a student at the University of Vermont: "In the early morning hours of October 7, Gardner-Quinn was walking home to her campus dormitory after a night out with friends. She borrowed a cell phone from a passerby, Brian Rooney, to call an...

Since there is anecdotal evidence that she was impaired, agitated, stumbling occasionally and dropping things, she easily could have either dropped her purse without realizing it or put it down for a moment, gotten distracted, and walked away from it. Then a person unrelated to the rest of...

Me too. I'm guessing that she dropped the phone, it popped apart, and she picked up the phone pieces but missed the battery. She apparently was stumbling a bit...

Two people received Gary Gilmore's corneas. Wonder what it's like to see the world through those lenses.

Interesting that your suggested route runs down a long, narrow field between two long, narrow wooded strips. It would offer maximum protection for someone who didn't want to be seen.
