There is one thing I just don't understand about the theory that Haefner killed Betsy...She moved to Penn State to be near her boyfriend and supposedly decided against other alternatives in her life to be near him. So, how/why was she dating other people? Didn't her boyfriend state that he was likely to propose at Christmas (a month after she was killed)? Wasn't it a serious relationship? One where she had chosen to follow her boyfriend? So where does her "dating" Haefner fit in? This doesn't make sense to me given what we know about Betsy???
1. Since they were not formally committed, she might have felt it was okay.
2. They might have gone out, but the relationship might have been platonic. Further she might have regarded it as friends going out, while he might have regarded it as something more.
I would note that Hershey was not exactly "close" to State College. It is about a 2 hour drive today, and may have been slightly longer in 1969. "Old Route 22" was a regular highway that went through a a number of small towns, and is not a limited access highway.
I don't think Ms. Aardsma had a car.
