Of course, the motive would indicate a potential killer. Robbery, as a motive, was excluded early on. Also, the peculiar way her body was treated - candles, altar cloth, exclude simple robbery.
A satanic, ritualistic killing? I think it was only made by the killer or killers to look that way. It was also made to look as if there was a sexual assault involved.
Sister Pahl was well known, she "was a former director of the hospital's nursing school and also was an administrator at hospitals in Toledo and Tiffin." So, she could have had enemies.
There is NO WAY to reopen the case after 24 years based on a testimony of a gal fed human eyeball by a group of Catholic priests. It's BS justice. Thank to our US Catholic Bishops' historical meeting in Dallas.

There is NO WAY to reopen the case after 24 years based on a testimony of a gal fed human eyeball AFAIK, murder cases are never officially closed until they're solved. There was an article in the Boston Herald maybe five or six years ago about the "cold case" file and detectives who worked on it. (I think they had just solved a very old case.) I do recall from the article that detectives would go through the cold case file from time to time; I don't recall whether they were officially assigned (in addition to other duties) or they just went through cold cases to keep the outlines at least fresh in their minds.
