I've read the same magazines , but reading about is different than doing it, especially in a high pressure situation (and this would be). I've carried, and used (not for these purposes, obviously) a Swiss Army Knife since the day I graduated from high school. I doubt if I could pull this off. If I were worried about noise, I might try going for the diaphragm.
Either the killer got very lucky, and just happened to make a wound that silent, quick and "clean," or he knew what he was doing. Someone without experience with killing this way, but in using a knife, e.g. a hunter, a trapper, a farmer, wouldn't necessarily realize this. The killer, obviously, could have gotten lucky, but if this an "expert blow," look for an expert.
I guess the problem with the expert theory is: why would this guy be killing a coed in a library?
One guy did claim at a party the next year that he "knew how to kill without making a lot of blood," etc. etc. Police checked him out but let him go. We know who he is but have lost track of him in the years since. He may be dead.
