AMEN!!! Something has been missing. I have heard NOTHING about the finace at all. WHY did she NOT have her purse or phone with her when she went to school????????? Someone PUT them in her apt. AFTER she was dead, I think. Or maybe I just heard wrong about the phone and purse.
She had them with her -- my guess is the ghoul who killed her forgot to dispose of them after he got rid of her clothes and body.
AFAIK, the fiance had an ironclad alibi, and was never a suspect at all.
What I recall hearing about her purse and cell phone is that they were found in the building she was seen entering. This was reported because if she had left willingly why would she leave them behind? The fiance, if I heard correctly, had taken a polygraph and was cooperating with police and was never a person of interest.
From what I heard, her purse, phone and money were all in her Yale office.
She left them in her office. Just took her ID card with her when she went down the laboratory. I would have done the same thing. I used to manage two testing and quality control labs. I had a cube and desk elsewhere. My purse, etc. stayed in the desk, the ID card on my person. I went back and forth between the labs and my desk constantly. I didn’t always carry my phone either - especially in areas where it didn’t work well, or when I wanted to be able to concentrate on something.
Seems normal enough behavior to me. THe bad guy was in the basement lab. The mystery starts there for me.
