I recently found this sleuth website and decided to post this.
I may choose to never post here again.
I have read the autopsy many times since it was published. It was not easy.
This is based on facts from the published autopsy on the web.

Based on "facts" in the autopsy I finally came to the following "VERY Possible Scenario" today.
I used logic and my eyes, not wild speculation.
I am not here for mean spirited debate or to hurl insults.
Below I will support my "scenario" with facts from the autopsy - - go argue with the autopsy if you want. Take HW40 West to Chapel Hill.
1) Nancy was wearing an athletic "top" consistent with jogging and was attacked outside from behind while on the lochmere trails.
2) She fell forward to the ground during the attack and braced herself on her left knee (maybe the other leg/foot was out to the side for stability)
3) She was choked from behind by a right-handed person.
4) The person was not excessively strong. It was possibly a woman, or at least someone with fingernails who was not applying "enraged" man-strength.
5) She was then transported (deceased or highly incapacitated) and dumped in the gravel in that new development.
Supporting Info:
I believe that 1&2 (and 5) are supported if the "dirt" on her left knee/leg matches Lochmere trails better than it matches the gravel construction site.
If the dirt comes from Lochmere trails then that's where the attack started.
The dirt comparision probably takes a visual or simple chemical test to do. I hope the police have done it.
The cumulative weight of nancy plus the person behind her bearing down during the struggle/choking drove Nancy's left knee into the ground causing the dirt to adhere and probably skin damage that caused the subsequent discoloration and active "bugs" reported on her knee/leg too.
I think you have to be outside and alive to use your knee for support and get dirt caked on it.
Item 3, I believe that the insect activity on just that one side of the neck proves she was choked from behind by a right handed person and her neck skin was cut during the struggle by a fingernail on the dominant right index finger that was pressing in tight. The fingernail cut accelerated the subsequent spot of reported insect activity.
The location of the broken bone might also prove the hand-dominance.
Item 4. Due to the "fingernail" cut, and the fact that the neck tissue damage was only "faint", it is NOT likely that it was a large highly-enraged MAN.
That's it. It's all from the report.
It doesn't answer "who" killed her, but it supports the assertion that she left the house that morning to go jogging "outside".
She was transported there AFTER the attack if the "knee dirt" does not match the (gravel?) construction site. (a simple police lab test?)
Once again, I am not here to argue and I won't reply to it.
Drive to Chapel Hill if you don't like the published Autopsy report.
I don't think anything I utilized here is a big departure from the published data! Portions of the scenario may be incorrect, but that would NOT mean that ALL of it is incorrect.
Don't blame or criticize persons who have tried to help or have been compelled to particpate.
The murder was a very tragic event and an unsolved crime so far.
Many people are still trying to reach the truth and heal in their own way.
"Justice" also means trying to minimize the collateral damage to the family here and in Canada.
Use your Eye's, not speculation, anger, or hate.
peace
