Augirl, I also haven't logged on in a long time, and never thought that this case would be solved. I recall early on hoping that DNA might someday solve this crime. It's a pity that the perpetrator wasn't caught after Jane's murder because two other women might still be alive today. A fitting...

I have also since heard from an independent source (an anthro/archaeology Harvard undergrad at the time) that one particular professor was widely suspected of being the killer by the anthro students.

I'm back after several months away and excited to see Prof Mitchell contributing. Since we are now closer to someone who personally knows something about this case, I'd like to throw out a couple of rumors that were reported to me by the anthropology professor who first told me this story...

Ausgirl, I also found that odd. Anything seem strange about the below excerpt from the NYT article I referenced earlier? Professor Lamberg Karlovsky, 31 year - old native of Prague, paced the floor of Professor Williams's office ... He said that Jane, who had served as his teaching assistant...

The odd aspect of the "ancient funerary rite" seems to me to be an essential piece of the puzzle. The person who did it might have remorsefully ad-libbed a ritual with which (s)he had some familiarity, or it was a person who knew Jane well enough to know that she was an archaeology student and...

The Harvard Crimson, the day after the murder: "There was no sign of forcible entry, but the door and window were unlocked and indications were that an intruder had entered by climbing the fire escape to the fourth floor apartment. Miss Britton lived alone."

I don't think that the killer had to walk the halls to get to her room. Some of the early news accounts mention the fire escape as one of the ways the killer could have gotten into the room. Also, one of the reports mentions that a child/teenager heard someone on the fire escape a few hours...

A lengthy New York Times article from Jan 19, 1969 with the above title talks a lot about Jane as a person. It includes lots of quotes from her friends, including neighbors (the Mitchells) and her professor Lamberg Karlovsky. Has anyone else come across this? I have the article, but again it is...

Yes, it does, and I found something else in the document you linked to that jumps out at me. This is from his list of pubilcations: "1969d (With James Humphries) Cairn Burials of Southeastern Iran. East and West, Vol. 18, Nos. 3-4 pp. 269-276. Reprinted in The Memorial Volume Vth...

Look what I came across here: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-life/1278550-stuff-college-professors-say-4.html It says "When I was at Harvard there was a professor who was really tall. He was a descendent of the Habsburg family (Austrian Royalty), and he allegedly murdered a...

Where in the world did you get these photos? Did I miss something in the thread? Wow!

Boston Globe, July 20, 1975, p. 4, in a column with no author listed. It says that the 'ritual' murder is still a puzzle, as much as it was 6 years ago. I'm going to paraphrase because the copy I have has a clear copyright symbol on it! Cambridge police chief Pisani says the case is still open...

Do we know for a fact that LE still maintains a news blackout in this case? If a Harvard faculty member was a prime suspect, I could certainly see why.

I've been researching this cold case for some time now and was surprised to see a thread on this site. I thought I was the only person thinking about this awful murder and wondering if it could be solved many years later. An anthropology professor I had in college recounted the story in class...
