The amount of stab wounds and then she had her throat cut. That leads me to believe that this was done by someone who knew her and it was out of anger.
I thought the same thing. It was definitely someone who knew her... I thought the overkill was to ensure she was dead. If she dead, she cannot tell the police who attacked her. Anger could definitely be another motive. It is obvious they were not happy with her for whatever reason. Her death was beyond brutal. :(
Both stabbing and slitting someone’s throat are very personal ways of killing someone, so I 100% agree. Right from the start I assumed it must be someone she know. I also agree with the anger, such violent actions...17 stabbings and only one of them being fatal? The person must of been angry, whether it was actually because of her or not
I 100% agree. I also think that since only one of the wounds was fatal that this was someone that hasn't done this before. Also, with how intense it was I don't think it was police.
Possible. But the next thought would be...how did they know she would be walking on that street at that particular time? Especially if it wasn’t her usual route.
Shanae Spanswick I thought the same thing! She probably crossed the street to turn around to go back the way she was coming from. ( If that makes sense)🤷🏼♀️
If she noticed that she was being followed wouldn't she want to rush home as soon as possible especially if there was a police department in the first floor
sama mohamed not necessarily, if you’re being followed it’s not suggested to go straight home as they can know where you live and become even more dangerous. Maybe she went into the shop mentioned and bought that Fresca to figure out if the follower would go into the store too 🤷🏻♀️
I had the same thought. I’ve done this before when I feel like someone is following me, it’s nerve wracking but I will try to take a different way around to my house especially if the longer way is more open. It is strange since she had the police on the first floor, but who knows, maybe in her experience the police weren’t helpful. They certainly weren’t very helpful in her case.
I’m german and saying someone (in german: jemand) is very common . One doesn’t say friend or their name , one just says someone even if they are a friend. It’s not anything suspicious
Ja Vorallem wenn die Freundin aus Deutschland der sie ja auf deutsch geschrieben hat nicht weiß wer das ist. Ich meine wieso sollte sie also den Namen sagen? Sie lebt ja sogar auf einem anderen Kontinent...
I find the focus on the word “someone” to be a little ridiculous. She probably just said “someone” to her friend because her friend didn’t know the person, but she herself did. If I have a friend named Courtney and a friend named josh, but Courtney and josh don’t know each other, I wouldn’t refer to josh by name if I was telling Courtney I had to pick books up from him. It would be a detail that would be weird for Courtney because it would mean nothing to her.
Someone could have been a member of the best buddies club which she was a part of...or something like that. Not really a friend but just an acquaintance.
Samantha Kelley I say someone when I don’t remember the name of someone which happens really often and if I don’t remember the name of a person I don’t care that much about them I have 3 really good friends in my life and that’s who I care about!
THANK YOU! In German it's VERY common to say that you lend something to "someone" if it's not a person both parties know. It doesn't mean it was a stranger, it's just shorter than saying "to a friend"/"to an acquaintance".
I was thinking the same, but also she saw their face of who was stabbing her so in order to not get tracked down they kept going to murder her if that makes sense, (edit)and if it was someone in the area she can easily point them out without being close to them
Yeah. These are tge possibilities but just to me stanbing someone 17 times including the neck, than slitting the throat and stabbing so hard that a part of knife is left behind in skull, seems so vengeful and personal 🤔
It’s literally frustrating me so much that the police didn’t watch the security footage of the shop that sold the drink because either it was the killer who got it, so they catch them. Or it was her who bought it and that would have just helped make a timeline of where she was
If you are starting a True Crime channel, how focussing on International cases? There are so many that aren’t covered by any You Tubers while some US cases are covered by multiple channels so I sometimes skip them.
I can think of three reasons. 1) Maybe there was no 'Someone', Suzanne wanted the books for some time longer. Little did she know this white lie might turn into a wild goose chase. 2) Maybe the police didn't release this information in time. As they didn't even translate that email for almost an year. By that time the 'Someone' would have seen how the police ruined the professor's life and didn't come forward because of the fear that he might become cop's next target. 3) "Someone" is gulty!
What if it wasn’t books but it was drugs or something illegal and it went wrong, because it’s very shady the fact that that “someone” never came forward
honestly its not rare that dealers " take care" of their buyers, if youre one cent low, who knows what theyll do to you. but the way she was murdered was for sure out of anger but if as she mentioned" a drug dealer" then it is not rare, that is just the way they do it sometimes...
I agree that when she mentioned “someone” it could just mean that her friend probably wouldn’t know who that person is therefore making it irrelevant to have to mention the name. But also, why is no one pointing out the fact that there are two different modes of possible transportation for the killer. If Susanne was indeed picked up by someone and driven to the scene of the crime, and the car that was parked next to her body, why would the killer run away from the scene as opposed to drive away from the scene, unless there was more than one killer????
That's exactly what I was thinking. Usually you can tell when a person is stabbed by either one or more people due to the differences in height, weight and build; how deep the wounds are or if the person is right or left handed. But of course we can't know cause the police did a terrible job and hadn't released a lot of info. I really believe the theory of two people or that at least one person killed her and the other is an accessory to murder. I also think the police was covering for someone.
what if the driver was the killer and the person running was just a bystander? I would run too if I saw a stabbing, and I would certainly be running fast, like Bella stated he did!
Shouldn’t they find out what kind of books she lent over? Because that way they could possibly find out what classes they were in, and then figure out who it was? This person seems extremely suspicious both for not coming forward and also for being one of the few she last spoke with. Especially since there are no other leads.
I think “Billy” committed the crime! There are far too many coincidences to just ignore- he was a Yale student, he spoke German, the green jacket (very specific description of clothing to just fabricate), the class that involved knives, his roommate’s statement (someone that spends a good deal of time with him, should be credible!), the transferring of assets, his history with women, his obsession with the case (why?), the likely mental illness. I know Bella laid all these out for us but if you count them up that’s 9 “coincidences”! You can even throw in the fact that he committed suicide, out of guilt possibly?! Makes sense to me! Poor Suzanne, I’m sad that her family never received closure and shame on New Haven PD!
He probably knew who did it. She was killed by someone that was driving who was also a Yale student, if it was Billy, he was running not driving so he probably saw something, hence his obsession with the case and mental illness. The police did a terrible job.
I think Billy did it too, I think to Suzanne, he was just an acquaintance, maybe even the one who borrowed the books, but she was nice to him so in his mind, he thought it was more and was angry she turned him down. Or maybe she DID have a bit of a romantic thing starting with him, he was the "someone" who borrowed the books hence why she tried to distance herself by not saying "a friend" in her email, but broke things off and he lost it. With 17 stab wounds, I do think it was someone angry with her. If it was less than 10, I would believe it could be a stranger/random.
@@katevdm4097 yes quite possible that he was a rejected admirer. And then later he felt guilty and killed himself. It could also be a child (16-18 year old) from the best buddies club, someone developmentally challenged who developed a crush on her and was rejected and then took this step.
as someone from connecticut and with family members in the task force and can tell you our state has one of the most corrupt police forces in the US i do not doubt the theory that the police were covering something up it happens more than anyone would like to admit. its very unfortunate and this case breaks my heart
Absolutely! It very possibly could have been covered up for someone higher up or their kid. High ranking official, lawyer, judge, government offical....
Sami Marez but wasn’t the only store that sold fresca only a block from her apartment? That wouldn’t really require her to take the long way if it only was a block away. Idk just a thought!
I believe she knew her killer. I think after dropping off the keys she was walking on route to pick up the books and maybe popped to the store to buy a drink (which explains why she had the drink). Then maybe she seen someone she knew within the store who offered to give her a ride. Maybe someone who was obsessive over her or she had recently rejected. I don't think the person she lent the books too is the one who murdered her. She may of referred to them as someone as it may of been a classmate of hers yet her friend she was emailing may have no idea who this classmate is so she just called them someone. I don't know it's strange that they didn't look at cctv footage of the store where she had bought the drink from and didn't address it until 3 years later. Maybe not someone directly off the police force but maybe a child or family member of theirs who was guilty and they tried to cover it up? Such a sad case without any justice x
Yes!!! I think the murder could have been a student that came from a wealthy family, maybe their family was an important donor to the college? Or a friend/family of the police force like you said. I definitely think that this person's family held some power in the community which is why the police broke their backs to keep the murder in the clear.
I believe that there has been suspicion that she did not buy the Fresca herself since she was not seen carrying it when Stein and the woman who saw her walking on College saw her. There has been a thought that the killer (who she knew) purchased it for her before they met up since he knew she liked Fresca. Too bad the police did not check with Krauser's (sp?) to see if anyone recalled selling Fresca etc.
in the german culture/language people don't call eachother "friend" unless they're like bffs in America/Australia terms. So her saying "someone" is equivalent to the American/Australian term of "friend."
6:40 im german and i pretty often say „someone“ even if its my friend or family etc. im saying „someone“ because the person im talking to doesnt know this specific „someone“. Hope its not too confusing lol but i consider the use of someone in this context pretty normal
idk if its just me but i love how u dont put any background music because it sets the mood in a neutral tone since ur quite cheerful but the stories are dark. i dont know if that makes sense but i love it. ♡
Probably the knife loged into her skull one....so mk ultra or b16 killing . A cover up of sorts. Yale had blood on its hands for many decades being an occult school and all. ..the tunnels underneath are enough. Torture chambers. This smells fishy
@@Mary1337 my sister does it all the time with no context, it's so frustrating because it's always like "oh x did this today when y said this because z wasn't around" and I'm so confused as to how she thinks I can be invested in this story or follow along at all, I DON'T KNOW ANY OF THESE PEOPLE. None of this means anything to me! 😂😭 I need context. If someone says "oh I'm meeting my friend Caroline from my biology class, her boyfriend Jack is leaving" then that's great, fine. If someone just goes "Caroline and I are meeting to talk about Jack leaving" I'll only be like? ¿? ¿? Whomst the fuck? ¿? ¿
What if the campus police offered to give her a ride cause her home was basically there where he was going and he tried making a move and then she denied and that made the officer mad, so he/she killed her with a knife and they never realesed what blade was used cause it was the cop's blade and then they focused on the professor so so much cause they didn't want to tell on the cop and they wanted to keep it on the down low!!!
If it was Billy who was seen running from the scene could it be possible that he witnessed something but was afraid to come forward for whatever reason? Could also explain why he felt like someone was after him, ie the killer. Also, was it ever looked into that maybe it was someone from the best buddies program?? I definitely feel like it had to be someone who knew her not only because most murders happen by someone who knows the victim, but also because of how many times she was stabbed it seems like a crime of passion more than just a random killing.I wish there was more info about the other volunteers she worked with or the people in the program. I seriously have so many theories about this case. Also what were and what happened to the papers she had? Are they even important?? so many questions!
Let's see. "Billy" drove his car into a highway barrier by an exit. Got out of his car and walked into oncoming traffic where he was struck and killed. I'd say he had some guilt. Also no care at all for other peoples safety.
Haha i think its ridiculous that you find random theories ridiculous. I mean the whole point of discussing theories is to whittle down what isnt that likely and then of course what is. Factly speaking the Bushes were familiar, some would say friendly with Osama and it just so happens Yale is almost synonymous with the Bushes, at least to Americans. I dont think Al Qaeda would need to have anything to do with it in this regard. Where is her thesis and what does it say? Does it mention their familiarity by chance, some dealings, plans? Until we know that you can not logically dismiss any theory pertaining to it if you wish to act as an actual investigator. Now, i am not saying that the bushes had anything to do with this specific incident but truthfully you can not say they didnt. I find it preposterous that people are so easily thrown off a trail or the searching for one simply because some theory sounds outlandish. Conspiracies often are. And if your scope of understanding is already skewed about 911 which seems to be the case that hurts your ability to be unbiased. If they did have something to do with it then yes it could be said she was an early victim of 911 which was an inside job with the help of some outside folks. You should probably look into all they achieved with this event. Nothing good for humanity. Start with the "patriot act" and a 20 year war where our men and women have been babysitting poppy seed fields in Afghanistan. Nothing is as it seems to the normies.
She was stabbed 17 and only one stab wound was fatal so it's personal right? So obviously someone who would know her. Like they wanted to hurt her a lot before killing her..and the fact that a part of the blade was lodged and attacker must have been hella pissed to use all their strength to stab her in the head... I don't know.. I'm rambling..
I live in new Haven. Where she was seen on College St. Going north is right next to the green where a ton of homeless people take camp. Also, if she was headed back to her apartment on Park. I could see myself taking Elm st back to park because it's surrounded by yale buildings and as soon as you hit broadway, it's like an outdoor shopping plaza so there is consistent traffic. If she were to take Chapel street back, it can get a little dark and at that time of night.
Hey, im from Frankfurt/Germany and I’m watching your videos for a while now and I have another case from Germany .. it’s the case of Tristian a 13 y/o boy from Frankfurt/Höchst. In 1998 he was found brutally murdered and I think that this case would perfectly fit in your content ( excuse my English ) And I wanted to thank you for all the time you spend in those videos, Much love xxx
Dilara Masic I always think it’s funny when non-native English speaks say “sorry for my English” because 99.9% their English is better than other native speakers I know! 💀😂 You’re English is great! Greetings from Chicago!
I have a feeling she wasn’t “lending anyone books” I feel like that would be a simple excuse for something she wasn’t supposed to be doing in order to not raise suspicions
but why would she tell her friend she couldn't lend her the books until she got them back from that someone...why not say she's busy that day or something if she was planning on doing something else she wasn't supposed to do - possibly with someone (who may be the one who killed her)
@@Anonymous-pq8ps i guess in order to not raise suspicions like I said. It would have been weird to just say "she's busy". With the books it gave her an excuse i suppose.
@@amaraberger7113 I see what you mean...so my guess is she was probably seeing someone behind her bf's back. I was thinking maybe drugs as well, but they would have found them in the autopsy
You should do a video explaining how you create your Mystery Monday videos. Where you start, where you go to learn more about the case (best places to get case information), how long it takes to prep for a video, etc. I would love to start making a channel doing videos like this & would love your advice on how you do it! 😊
Lol she pronounces “ASSUME” As “ashume “ I love watching her videos and it always gets me how different Australian accents, Pronunciations of certain words and terms they use are from the USA. She’s cute
Maybe she took another road because she noticed someone was following her and she didn't want them to know the way to her apartment, or to throw them off or something
If this dont scream corrupt police I dont know what the fudge nuggets does. Like literally they all might as well tattoo "corrupt officer." On all their foreheads....
From all the crime shows I've seen is that when an attack on someone is so violent it indicates that the attacker has a personal dislike for the victim and is taking out their hatred for the victim by inflicting that many wounds on them. I love your channel, be safe and keep up the good work.
Oh my gosh! You don’t need to apologize for being happy or get stressed when you miss an upload. People love your videos enough to beg for them and even threaten you when you miss a post. That means you’re doing something right girl! You’re so sweet to apologize but it’s not needed. You do so much research just for us and we should be thanking you!
I'm not sure about this "Picking the books up from someone" is really that strange. I'm german and saying that you have to pick up something from someone doesn't sound that unusual to me. I often say sentences like that if I refer to a person that the other person doesn't know. Sure you can also say friend or acquaintance but saying "Jemand" (which I assume is the word she used) isn't that unusual at all. Especially since you don't refer to someone as a friend that easily in german. Anyway you basically say the same thing at the end. I personally think that the amount of brutality means that it must've been someone that she knew or that was in love with her and she maybe wasn't.
So sehe ich das auch. Ich weiß nicht wie intensiv die Polizei sich ihren Bekanntenkreis angesehen hat aber ich denke sie hat die Bücher sicher an jemand verliehen den sie kannte und da sich die Person nicht gemeldet hat wäre das möglicherweise auch eine gute Spur gewesen.
David Stegmeier Same !!! Thought the same thing! I’m from Germany too and can confirm this. Bc she grew up in Germany she probably took some of the language with her to the us. It’s common to refer to people as ‚jemand‘ rather than go into detail as to who , especially when the other person doesn’t know the person or you don’t wanna explain yourself
Every language has its own specifications and German happens to be "peculiar", when compared to Latin languages... for example, if I got it right she said something along the lines of "Ich habe jemandem meine Bücher geliehen und nehme diese zurück" (I lent someone my books and I am going to get these back). In that case, someone doesn't mean she wasn't really acquainted with that person but rather that she concealed the identity from the friend she was writing to. Do I make sense here?
Milly hoho genau das ist es. Ich würde mir so gerne die Mail ansehen die geschrieben wurde und diese unter die Lupe nehmen... Ob sie von einem Amerikanern oder einem Deutschen übersetzt wurde könnte den ganzen Unterschied ausmachen.
Je nachdem was da genau stand könnte es auch sein dass sie die Bücher noch garnicht aktiv verliehen hat, sondern nur eine Absicht geäußert, fällt mir gerade noch ein. Das würde sehr auf den Übersetzer ankommen ob er das versteht.
I have social anxiety....... and I’ve made up reasons to ditch people I actually care about because of that anxiety. So maybe she made up the book pick-up just to avoid meeting up with an actual friend. If that makes any sense???
I think the person she had lent books to before is suspicious purely because they didn’t come forward and clear their name. If you were innocent you would want to give as much info as possible to solve it, yet they remained anonymous. Why?
Maybe they got scared or nervous they would get caught up in the investigation. It sounds like the police department over there is really corrupt they really screwed over that professor.
Mimi Abraham I don’t think they would have. Maybe but you would still think they would come forward to help the case. If they are innocent they have nothing to hide
Kaseridon Rivers as told in the video , police does a shitty job , if you can't prove you're innocent , you dont want to get into these things. Your name is not out there to clear it
Perhaps, but it could have turned up a lead which could've helped save the case. If they were innocent surely their DNA would not be under her fingerprint or on the bottle? I do see your point though.
The police and "billy" are my biggest suspects here. She could have willingly gotten into a police car due to where she lived, but it's a long shot. Police get away with murder everyday so idk.. "Billy" maybe lost his temper? But I don't understand how they wouldn't have him as a suspect instead of the professor. Biggest question: WHY DIDNT THEY LOOK AT THE CAMERAS??
Coming from somebody that lives in Connecticut, Yale is placed in such a strange place. New Haven is literally known as one of the most dangerous locations in CT and Yale is one of the most prestigious and expensive schools in the US. This whole case was a mess from the beginning to the end (speaking evidence wise)
I think mabey the reason she walked home the long way was because she realized someone was following her and didn’t want to lead them directly back to her house and just hoped she could loose them along the way 🤨🤔
Problem is, she lived literally right on top of a police station. If I was freaked out by somebody following me, the first thing I'd want to do is go straight to a police station. I can't imagine any safer place to be. Sure, she wouldn't have wanted the creep to know where she lived...but if she went to the police station, the creep would have had no way to know she also lived there. If she was freaked out by somebody following her, avoiding a police station is the last thing she would have done, regardless of where she lived. "There's a creep following me. I could either go straight to police headquarters, or on the other hand I could go in the opposite direction of the police, at night, alone, with a creep following me." Doesn't make sense.
literally trying to watch every single one of your videos 😂 you obviously put so much work into your research and everything, thank you. ❤️❤️ i love watching your videos.
bella, thank you so much for uploading for us despite being unmotivated. try not to let it affect you when people get mad at you for futile things! and you look gorgeous. thank you for giving this video your all, it was very informative.
In university, we often buy and sell textbooks to people without knowing them, or even lend them to someone you don't know well if the textbook isn't really worth anything anymore; so I think it's viable that it could've been someone she didn't know well.
My theory is that it was "Billy" That "someone" in her email was Billy and that she didn't mention who they were because everyone knew Billy was strange and was possibly blocked out of popularity And once she rejected him inside the car he could have driven, his mental disability overcame him and stabbed her And when the investigation began he believed they would find out it was him so he took his own life
I don't think the word "someone" is significant at all (especially since it was in German and someone who speaks German commented saying it's common in the language simply to refer to a third person), BUT I agree it was "Billy" as well. The fact that the police never even looked into him or any other lead blows my mind.
I don't necessarily have a set theory but I do have some significant questions regarding those books.... personally I think it's strange no one has ever come forward saying they were the one that had borrowed the books. I feel like she was walking out of her way because she needed to pick those books up. She had already told her friend the access code to her building and said she'd leave them in the entryway therefore she would need to retrieve the books as soon as possible. So... what WERE the books?? Were they from a specific class?? Since her friend was coming to borrow them they must know what books these are... they should test the DNA from every student taking whatever class those books came from. Even tho it's been such a long time I think this case could be solved if the right investigator gets ahold of it.
wow good idea i wonder why they did not do that... also like ask everyone who might have needed those books even and see if they had any connection to her.
The books were reportedly GRE study materials and a CD to help study for the GRE exam. Early on I believe the investigators approached the GRE people in an attempt to get a list of those who took or were signed up to take the GRE around the time of the murder but the GRE people refused to release the info based upon privacy concerns. I wonder if they can try again......this time with a subpoena (assuming the records still exist).
nahh u missed the part where the prof constantly told his classes that he could commit the perfect murder and then moved to chicago and posted an eerie letter in the newspaper basically saying he got away with it
You are so smart ! & I totally love your mystery videos ! I’ve been watching every single one any time I get before work , after work , during my lunch break , I’m hooked !!
The person she lent her books to could have been a classmate. Did the police ever ask the friend what books she was needing from Suzanne? If they were textbooks for a specific class at Yale, why weren’t her classmates questioned? Was she in any extracurriculars with people she shared a major with at Yale? Referring to this person as “someone” off-hand could mean she was simply familiar with then from one of her classes, which was why she was comfortable lending books to them. It is very interesting and obviously suspicious that this person never returned the books and never cleared their own name, assuming they are innocent.
Yes it is suspicious. The books were known to be GRE study materials, so they could have been lent pretty much to anyone who was studying for the GRE (a general exam required to get into most graduate programs in the U.S.). The person she lent them to has never come forward, which as you say is suspicious in itself.
Yeah, what happened with this lead? Seems like an excellent direction to have pursued in an investigation. After the murder, this person had to have known he or she was the person the books had been lent to. As you say, why wouldn't they come forward, not only to clear their name, but also to give information that might help solve the case?
I definitely think it was the police. Why would they steer all force towards the professor guy. I mean what did he do to them?? I think they just wanted this case to be closed.
Can you please do the murder of Betty Shanks!!! I did it for a school assessment and it has SO much information and theories! It happened here in Brisbane (Wilston). It happened in 1952 just before her birthday! It is a really interesting case and I would love to hear your take on it. Also, just adding that Mia is adorable!
Isn't there a possibility, that she took the longer route home because she was afraid or didn't want to meet the classmate - Peter again? Maybe their conversation was weird before or something, so she wanted to avoid him. I can definitely see myself taking a long way home only to get around some of my classmates :).
I really appreciate how much you put in these mystery series, you put so much effort and research into them and that what makes you so unique and amazing, love u so much keep going ❤️❤️❤️❤️
wow im so glad your video popped into my recommended this is the content that ive been looking for on youtube thank you for making these videos they're so great for someone with crippling depression who is very interested in mystery cases as a distraction, to pass time and learn! i cant wait to binge watch all your videos now you are so beautiful!!
I believe it's plausible that the reason she said "someone" is because the FRIEND she was going to lend them to didn't know the person. In other words, "i gotta pick them up from joe" that friend may not have any clue who she was talking about, hence her referencing them as someone. In addition, Maybe she took the long way back to her apartment so she didn't have to run into the group of people that she seen on the way there, just not wanting to socialize. Just a thought.
It is rare, but not uncommon. Ted Bundy, early in his deviant career, hit a women on the head with a block of wood he found, all it did is make her scream loudly and he ran off. She lived and he didnt know her. Gary Ridgeway said as a kid, he stabbed a younger kid in the neighborhood, and it was never reported and the kid lived. He wanted to see what it was like to kill someone, i think he said.
As soon as you started saying the police would have diverted attention if they were guilty, I was yelling “you mean like trying to ruin a guys life by claiming he’s the murderer?!?” I’m glad you got there too 😂
I’ve been binge watching these videos and they are freaking me out. Definitely makes me think I should be more aware of my surroundings and start letting people know where I am going 😥

The amount of stab wounds and then she had her throat cut. That leads me to believe that this was done by someone who knew her and it was out of anger.
I thought the same thing. It was definitely someone who knew her... I thought the overkill was to ensure she was dead. If she dead, she cannot tell the police who attacked her. Anger could definitely be another motive. It is obvious they were not happy with her for whatever reason. Her death was beyond brutal. :(
Both stabbing and slitting someone’s throat are very personal ways of killing someone, so I 100% agree. Right from the start I assumed it must be someone she know. I also agree with the anger, such violent actions...17 stabbings and only one of them being fatal? The person must of been angry, whether it was actually because of her or not
100%. this wasn't a random crime
I 100% agree. I also think that since only one of the wounds was fatal that this was someone that hasn't done this before. Also, with how intense it was I don't think it was police.
Possible. But the next thought would be...how did they know she would be walking on that street at that particular time? Especially if it wasn’t her usual route.
maybe she took the long way because she noticed she was being followed
Shanae Spanswick I thought the same thing! She probably crossed the street to turn around to go back the way she was coming from. ( If that makes sense)🤷🏼♀️
If she noticed that she was being followed wouldn't she want to rush home as soon as possible especially if there was a police department in the first floor
sama mohamed not necessarily, if you’re being followed it’s not suggested to go straight home as they can know where you live and become even more dangerous. Maybe she went into the shop mentioned and bought that Fresca to figure out if the follower would go into the store too 🤷🏻♀️
Brianna Dominguez that makes sense ☺
I had the same thought. I’ve done this before when I feel like someone is following me, it’s nerve wracking but I will try to take a different way around to my house especially if the longer way is more open. It is strange since she had the police on the first floor, but who knows, maybe in her experience the police weren’t helpful. They certainly weren’t very helpful in her case.
I’m german and saying someone (in german: jemand) is very common . One doesn’t say friend or their name , one just says someone even if they are a friend. It’s not anything suspicious
Lulu Kennedy i was about to say the same thing
Ja Vorallem wenn die Freundin aus Deutschland der sie ja auf deutsch geschrieben hat nicht weiß wer das ist. Ich meine wieso sollte sie also den Namen sagen? Sie lebt ja sogar auf einem anderen Kontinent...
Can we all just give this a like, so that Bella will see it
It's more about the events that unfolded around the individual rather than the "someone" detail.
@Bricheese Art same. i do it sometimes
I find the focus on the word “someone” to be a little ridiculous. She probably just said “someone” to her friend because her friend didn’t know the person, but she herself did. If I have a friend named Courtney and a friend named josh, but Courtney and josh don’t know each other, I wouldn’t refer to josh by name if I was telling Courtney I had to pick books up from him. It would be a detail that would be weird for Courtney because it would mean nothing to her.
Samantha Kelley exactly! I think so too. Not a big deal. I think Billy did it or he knew something about this murder at the very least!
Someone could have been a member of the best buddies club which she was a part of...or something like that. Not really a friend but just an acquaintance.
Samantha Kelley I say someone when I don’t remember the name of someone which happens really often and if I don’t remember the name of a person I don’t care that much about them I have 3 really good friends in my life and that’s who I care about!
Meera 25 that’s such a smart theory
THANK YOU! In German it's VERY common to say that you lend something to "someone" if it's not a person both parties know. It doesn't mean it was a stranger, it's just shorter than saying "to a friend"/"to an acquaintance".
Whoever killed her did it so brutally and with vengeance. It had to be someone she knew.
yes.
Not necessarily, a murderer is a murderer irregardless of his relation with the victim
I was thinking the same, but also she saw their face of who was stabbing her so in order to not get tracked down they kept going to murder her if that makes sense, (edit)and if it was someone in the area she can easily point them out without being close to them
Hareem Naveed Not necessarily
Yeah. These are tge possibilities but just to me stanbing someone 17 times including the neck, than slitting the throat and stabbing so hard that a part of knife is left behind in skull, seems so vengeful and personal 🤔
It’s literally frustrating me so much that the police didn’t watch the security footage of the shop that sold the drink because either it was the killer who got it, so they catch them. Or it was her who bought it and that would have just helped make a timeline of where she was
If you are starting a True Crime channel, how focussing on International cases? There are so many that aren’t covered by any You Tubers while some US cases are covered by multiple channels so I sometimes skip them.
Does anyone else think it is weird that this "someone" never came forward? Seems very odd to me.
Probably jimmy
Sassssky billy*
I can think of three reasons.
1) Maybe there was no 'Someone', Suzanne wanted the books for some time longer. Little did she know this white lie might turn into a wild goose chase.
2) Maybe the police didn't release this information in time. As they didn't even translate that email for almost an year. By that time the 'Someone' would have seen how the police ruined the professor's life and didn't come forward because of the fear that he might become cop's next target.
3) "Someone" is gulty!
i think it's because "someone" is guilty or he doesn't exist. She could just say it to cover up something else or to drop the conversation
someone in german makes a lot of sense
Giiirl I thought you said 45 INCHES oh my god I was like that’s not a knife that’s a sword 😂
Ahah I’m weeezing 😳😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
4-5 babe
It was 4 to 5 inches not 45 inches!
She said “4 ta 5” and said it fast and witch an accent which totally made it sound like 45 lol
What if it wasn’t books but it was drugs or something illegal and it went wrong, because it’s very shady the fact that that “someone” never came forward
i was thinking about that too. that would also explain her getting in the car but why would the dealer kill her idk
omg and books could have been a code word for drugs or something
Bea C Kid could have been scared he would be framed.
honestly its not rare that dealers " take care" of their buyers, if youre one cent low, who knows what theyll do to you. but the way she was murdered was for sure out of anger but if as she mentioned" a drug dealer" then it is not rare, that is just the way they do it sometimes...
Oh shit
who else is watching these during quarantine😂💕I am literally obsessed with them
Me too!!!
I play these every night
Love them!
👍
Same just rewatching all now :)
”Are you high? have you been crying? I’M FiiiNe” that got me 😂😂
I agree that when she mentioned “someone” it could just mean that her friend probably wouldn’t know who that person is therefore making it irrelevant to have to mention the name. But also, why is no one pointing out the fact that there are two different modes of possible transportation for the killer. If Susanne was indeed picked up by someone and driven to the scene of the crime, and the car that was parked next to her body, why would the killer run away from the scene as opposed to drive away from the scene, unless there was more than one killer????
Maggie Jimenez omg true! That’s such a good point
That's exactly what I was thinking. Usually you can tell when a person is stabbed by either one or more people due to the differences in height, weight and build; how deep the wounds are or if the person is right or left handed. But of course we can't know cause the police did a terrible job and hadn't released a lot of info. I really believe the theory of two people or that at least one person killed her and the other is an accessory to murder. I also think the police was covering for someone.
what if the driver was the killer and the person running was just a bystander? I would run too if I saw a stabbing, and I would certainly be running fast, like Bella stated he did!
my bus is here in 5 mins so i have to finish later ahhh im so pumped
it could be that one of those accounts was just wrong, witnesses can be unreliable sometimes
Shouldn’t they find out what kind of books she lent over? Because that way they could possibly find out what classes they were in, and then figure out who it was? This person seems extremely suspicious both for not coming forward and also for being one of the few she last spoke with. Especially since there are no other leads.
They were GRE study books, from what i understand
I think “Billy” committed the crime! There are far too many coincidences to just ignore- he was a Yale student, he spoke German, the green jacket (very specific description of clothing to just fabricate), the class that involved knives, his roommate’s statement (someone that spends a good deal of time with him, should be credible!), the transferring of assets, his history with women, his obsession with the case (why?), the likely mental illness. I know Bella laid all these out for us but if you count them up that’s 9 “coincidences”! You can even throw in the fact that he committed suicide, out of guilt possibly?! Makes sense to me! Poor Suzanne, I’m sad that her family never received closure and shame on New Haven PD!
He probably knew who did it. She was killed by someone that was driving who was also a Yale student, if it was Billy, he was running not driving so he probably saw something, hence his obsession with the case and mental illness. The police did a terrible job.
I think Billy did it too, I think to Suzanne, he was just an acquaintance, maybe even the one who borrowed the books, but she was nice to him so in his mind, he thought it was more and was angry she turned him down. Or maybe she DID have a bit of a romantic thing starting with him, he was the "someone" who borrowed the books hence why she tried to distance herself by not saying "a friend" in her email, but broke things off and he lost it. With 17 stab wounds, I do think it was someone angry with her. If it was less than 10, I would believe it could be a stranger/random.
@@katevdm4097 yes quite possible that he was a rejected admirer. And then later he felt guilty and killed himself. It could also be a child (16-18 year old) from the best buddies club, someone developmentally challenged who developed a crush on her and was rejected and then took this step.
The NHPD reminds me of the Greenwich PD’s botched job on Martha Moxley.
That's what I'm thinking
as someone from connecticut and with family members in the task force and can tell you our state has one of the most corrupt police forces in the US i do not doubt the theory that the police were covering something up it happens more than anyone would like to admit. its very unfortunate and this case breaks my heart
agree im from ct also and i know two people who were murdered and the evidence had been extremely tampered with.
I know New Haven pretty well and yes, this is all very true. It's awful. US police forces are terrible to begin with but CT is particularly awful.
Absolutely! It very possibly could have been covered up for someone higher up or their kid. High ranking official, lawyer, judge, government offical....
And such is the whole world corrupt 🙏🏽✨♥️
😢
Maybe she was taking the long way to her apartment because she wanted to stop at the store and grab something to drink which explains the fresca.
Sami Marez but wasn’t the only store that sold fresca only a block from her apartment? That wouldn’t really require her to take the long way if it only was a block away. Idk just a thought!
I believe she knew her killer. I think after dropping off the keys she was walking on route to pick up the books and maybe popped to the store to buy a drink (which explains why she had the drink). Then maybe she seen someone she knew within the store who offered to give her a ride. Maybe someone who was obsessive over her or she had recently rejected. I don't think the person she lent the books too is the one who murdered her. She may of referred to them as someone as it may of been a classmate of hers yet her friend she was emailing may have no idea who this classmate is so she just called them someone. I don't know it's strange that they didn't look at cctv footage of the store where she had bought the drink from and didn't address it until 3 years later. Maybe not someone directly off the police force but maybe a child or family member of theirs who was guilty and they tried to cover it up? Such a sad case without any justice x
Yes!!! I think the murder could have been a student that came from a wealthy family, maybe their family was an important donor to the college? Or a friend/family of the police force like you said. I definitely think that this person's family held some power in the community which is why the police broke their backs to keep the murder in the clear.
I believe that there has been suspicion that she did not buy the Fresca herself since she was not seen carrying it when Stein and the woman who saw her walking on College saw her. There has been a thought that the killer (who she knew) purchased it for her before they met up since he knew she liked Fresca. Too bad the police did not check with Krauser's (sp?) to see if anyone recalled selling Fresca etc.
in the german culture/language people don't call eachother "friend" unless they're like bffs in America/Australia terms. So her saying "someone" is equivalent to the American/Australian term of "friend."
6:40 im german and i pretty often say „someone“ even if its my friend or family etc. im saying „someone“ because the person im talking to doesnt know this specific „someone“. Hope its not too confusing lol but i consider the use of someone in this context pretty normal
I figured it may be a German thing since she grew up there and was fluent. I agree with you.
bella, with all the talks of the royal family at the moment, you should do a princess diana theory video!!!
lovelivesmilex3 yes please!
Yes!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas
YESSSS
YESSSSS!!!! That would be perfect! I loved Princess Diana, she was soooo beautiful and kind! So sad!😔
The pronunciation was actually really good (german follower here) and I’m so excited for this week full of mysteries.
Lara whatsupdawg yes another german potato here😂🙋
Yeeeah here too! Is there a german Version of the Suspicious Email?
Nabiya Ri It’s good for someone who doesn’t speak even a little bit of german and Bella is from Australia :)
Pluot - Fiur - Tōd That would be really interesting to read.
I really want to read that email too! Jemandem etwas auszuleihen wäre nicht wirklich komisch zu schreiben
idk if its just me but i love how u dont put any background music because it sets the mood in a neutral tone since ur quite cheerful but the stories are dark. i dont know if that makes sense but i love it. ♡
I feel like one of the saddest parts is that only one of the wounds was fatal. Like, she could have made it if it weren’t for that one. 😕
I thought the same thing when she said that! I mean damn, so close right?!! Really sad.
❤️💜💚
Well, y'know. There's also the throat slit and all.
She would have still probably bled out of been to weak to do anything
Probably the knife loged into her skull one....so mk ultra or b16 killing . A cover up of sorts. Yale had blood on its hands for many decades being an occult school and all. ..the tunnels underneath are enough. Torture chambers. This smells fishy
40 MINUTES? GIRLLLLL ALSO YOUR MAKEUP IS BEAUTIFUL.
I need to know what lipstick she's wearing!!
them likes though, i liked :) what’s your msp i wanna add ahaha
It is way too heavy for such an attractive girl. Less is more, she doesn't need that much!! No one does!
THIS IS THE QUALITY CONTENT I SIGNED UP FOR
I would use the word “someone” in a message if the person I was messaging didn’t know the other person.
Yepppp
Thank you! Ugh I guess it's a pet peeve of me when people describe a, to me unknown, person by their name.
@@Mary1337 my sister does it all the time with no context, it's so frustrating because it's always like "oh x did this today when y said this because z wasn't around" and I'm so confused as to how she thinks I can be invested in this story or follow along at all, I DON'T KNOW ANY OF THESE PEOPLE. None of this means anything to me! 😂😭 I need context. If someone says "oh I'm meeting my friend Caroline from my biology class, her boyfriend Jack is leaving" then that's great, fine. If someone just goes "Caroline and I are meeting to talk about Jack leaving" I'll only be like? ¿? ¿? Whomst the fuck? ¿? ¿
What if the campus police offered to give her a ride cause her home was basically there where he was going and he tried making a move and then she denied and that made the officer mad, so he/she killed her with a knife and they never realesed what blade was used cause it was the cop's blade and then they focused on the professor so so much cause they didn't want to tell on the cop and they wanted to keep it on the down low!!!
If it was Billy who was seen running from the scene could it be possible that he witnessed something but was afraid to come forward for whatever reason? Could also explain why he felt like someone was after him, ie the killer. Also, was it ever looked into that maybe it was someone from the best buddies program?? I definitely feel like it had to be someone who knew her not only because most murders happen by someone who knows the victim, but also because of how many times she was stabbed it seems like a crime of passion more than just a random killing.I wish there was more info about the other volunteers she worked with or the people in the program. I seriously have so many theories about this case. Also what were and what happened to the papers she had? Are they even important?? so many questions!
Kayla Marie also billy could’ve committed suicide out of guilt for not coming forward or to get out of being killed by this person
@@AlexTheCrayChick YES
Let's see. "Billy" drove his car into a highway barrier by an exit. Got out of his car and walked into oncoming traffic where he was struck and killed. I'd say he had some guilt. Also no care at all for other peoples safety.
@@eugeneodonnell4680 Maybe he was in shock and didn't realize where he was going, or was injured so he couldn't see well.
Haha i think its ridiculous that you find random theories ridiculous. I mean the whole point of discussing theories is to whittle down what isnt that likely and then of course what is. Factly speaking the Bushes were familiar, some would say friendly with Osama and it just so happens Yale is almost synonymous with the Bushes, at least to Americans. I dont think Al Qaeda would need to have anything to do with it in this regard. Where is her thesis and what does it say? Does it mention their familiarity by chance, some dealings, plans? Until we know that you can not logically dismiss any theory pertaining to it if you wish to act as an actual investigator. Now, i am not saying that the bushes had anything to do with this specific incident but truthfully you can not say they didnt. I find it preposterous that people are so easily thrown off a trail or the searching for one simply because some theory sounds outlandish. Conspiracies often are. And if your scope of understanding is already skewed about 911 which seems to be the case that hurts your ability to be unbiased. If they did have something to do with it then yes it could be said she was an early victim of 911 which was an inside job with the help of some outside folks. You should probably look into all they achieved with this event. Nothing good for humanity. Start with the "patriot act" and a 20 year war where our men and women have been babysitting poppy seed fields in Afghanistan. Nothing is as it seems to the normies.
She was stabbed 17 and only one stab wound was fatal so it's personal right? So obviously someone who would know her. Like they wanted to hurt her a lot before killing her..and the fact that a part of the blade was lodged and attacker must have been hella pissed to use all their strength to stab her in the head... I don't know.. I'm rambling..
I live in new Haven. Where she was seen on College St. Going north is right next to the green where a ton of homeless people take camp. Also, if she was headed back to her apartment on Park. I could see myself taking Elm st back to park because it's surrounded by yale buildings and as soon as you hit broadway, it's like an outdoor shopping plaza so there is consistent traffic. If she were to take Chapel street back, it can get a little dark and at that time of night.
I read "headless" instead of "homeless". I was flabbergasted for a few seconds.
Yes, I live in a college town, and most people will take the better lit/more trafficked areas at night, even if it is longer.
Thanks for that local knowledge, it always helps. Cheers
“Examined the crime of the scene” I bloody love you Bella, you’re so real ❤️
Composite sketches always freak me out i don't know why..
Amy Kemp same!!
Hey, im from Frankfurt/Germany and I’m watching your videos for a while now and I have another case from Germany .. it’s the case of Tristian a 13 y/o boy from Frankfurt/Höchst. In 1998 he was found brutally murdered and I think that this case would perfectly fit in your content ( excuse my English )
And I wanted to thank you for all the time you spend in those videos,
Much love xxx
Dilara Masic Yess Tristian Bürbach would sadly fit! such a sad case 😫 Ich komme aus Bielefeld und kenne den Fall
Alina Michelle Bielefeld ist eine halbe Stunde entfernt von mir...kleine Welt 😜
Your English is great!!!
Dilara Masic hey neighbor I'm from Darmstadt I also Remember the case, it's such a sad story
Dilara Masic I always think it’s funny when non-native English speaks say “sorry for my English” because 99.9% their English is better than other native speakers I know! 💀😂 You’re English is great! Greetings from Chicago!
I’m so impressed that you can remember all of the details of each case in the order that things happen without having to look at notes 🤯
she definitely looks at notes. that's why there is cuts in the videos and it's not one take.
Whilst a fly is interrupting
I have a feeling she wasn’t “lending anyone books” I feel like that would be a simple excuse for something she wasn’t supposed to be doing in order to not raise suspicions
G•R•E•G this is exactly what i was thinking????
but why would she tell her friend she couldn't lend her the books until she got them back from that someone...why not say she's busy that day or something if she was planning on doing something else she wasn't supposed to do - possibly with someone (who may be the one who killed her)
@@Anonymous-pq8ps i guess in order to not raise suspicions like I said. It would have been weird to just say "she's busy". With the books it gave her an excuse i suppose.
@@amaraberger7113 I see what you mean...so my guess is she was probably seeing someone behind her bf's back. I was thinking maybe drugs as well, but they would have found them in the autopsy
@@Anonymous-pq8ps Germans in Yale aren't big drug users lol
It’s highly suspicious that whoever she lent the books to didn’t come forward.
You should do a video explaining how you create your Mystery Monday videos. Where you start, where you go to learn more about the case (best places to get case information), how long it takes to prep for a video, etc. I would love to start making a channel doing videos like this & would love your advice on how you do it! 😊
YESSSS
I’d love that as well!!!!
That’d be awesome!
she got most of this info off wiki ;)
Lol she pronounces “ASSUME” As “ashume “ I love watching her videos and it always gets me how different Australian accents, Pronunciations of certain words and terms they use are from the USA. She’s cute
X×Lauren×X I think we all pronounce assume like “ashume” in Australia...I’ve never heard it said “assume” here 😊
Some Brits say "ashume" too. Same as issue is pronounced "ishue" 😁
Yeah thats how it's pronounced in Australia most of the time.
Yep, gotta love the accents ❤
Taleea Ashleigh I’m from Melbourne and my family has always pronounced it as-you-me.. funny how things get pronounced differently everywhere
Maybe she took another road because she noticed someone was following her and she didn't want them to know the way to her apartment, or to throw them off or something
13:17 “the crime of the scene”
Hahahahahahah
I didn’t even notice that. Bella is such a cutie 😏
i noticed that too haha
Take a shot in every video that Bella say's "I think I pronounced that wrong" haha love you girl!
Kellie Dixon I would be wasted
If this dont scream corrupt police I dont know what the fudge nuggets does. Like literally they all might as well tattoo "corrupt officer." On all their foreheads....
If only she had waited til the next morning to return the car keys 😢
From all the crime shows I've seen is that when an attack on someone is so violent it indicates that the attacker has a personal dislike for the victim and is taking out their hatred for the victim by inflicting that many wounds on them. I love your channel, be safe and keep up the good work.
LOVE THAT YOU'RE SO OBSESSED WITH MYSTERY!
Oh my gosh! You don’t need to apologize for being happy or get stressed when you miss an upload. People love your videos enough to beg for them and even threaten you when you miss a post. That means you’re doing something right girl! You’re so sweet to apologize but it’s not needed. You do so much research just for us and we should be thanking you!
This is the content I signed up for! Glad these mystery videos are back. Hoping they keep coming and are not so few and far between.
Thanks Bella.
I'm not sure about this "Picking the books up from someone" is really that strange. I'm german and saying that you have to pick up something from someone doesn't sound that unusual to me.
I often say sentences like that if I refer to a person that the other person doesn't know. Sure you can also say friend or acquaintance but saying "Jemand" (which I assume is the word she used) isn't that unusual at all. Especially since you don't refer to someone as a friend that easily in german.
Anyway you basically say the same thing at the end. I personally think that the amount of brutality means that it must've been someone that she knew or that was in love with her and she maybe wasn't.
So sehe ich das auch. Ich weiß nicht wie intensiv die Polizei sich ihren Bekanntenkreis angesehen hat aber ich denke sie hat die Bücher sicher an jemand verliehen den sie kannte und da sich die Person nicht gemeldet hat wäre das möglicherweise auch eine gute Spur gewesen.
Würde die E-Mail so gerne lesen
David Stegmeier Same !!! Thought the same thing! I’m from Germany too and can confirm this. Bc she grew up in Germany she probably took some of the language with her to the us. It’s common to refer to people as ‚jemand‘ rather than go into detail as to who , especially when the other person doesn’t know the person or you don’t wanna explain yourself
Every language has its own specifications and German happens to be "peculiar", when compared to Latin languages... for example, if I got it right she said something along the lines of "Ich habe jemandem meine Bücher geliehen und nehme diese zurück" (I lent someone my books and I am going to get these back). In that case, someone doesn't mean she wasn't really acquainted with that person but rather that she concealed the identity from the friend she was writing to. Do I make sense here?
Olivia Alves ich würde auch einen Freund aus Deutschland nicht ellenlang erklären wollen wem ich meine Bücher in Amerika verleihe 😂 macht absolut Sinn
Milly hoho genau das ist es. Ich würde mir so gerne die Mail ansehen die geschrieben wurde und diese unter die Lupe nehmen... Ob sie von einem Amerikanern oder einem Deutschen übersetzt wurde könnte den ganzen Unterschied ausmachen.
Je nachdem was da genau stand könnte es auch sein dass sie die Bücher noch garnicht aktiv verliehen hat, sondern nur eine Absicht geäußert, fällt mir gerade noch ein. Das würde sehr auf den Übersetzer ankommen ob er das versteht.
I have social anxiety....... and I’ve made up reasons to ditch people I actually care about because of that anxiety. So maybe she made up the book pick-up just to avoid meeting up with an actual friend. If that makes any sense???
I think the person she had lent books to before is suspicious purely because they didn’t come forward and clear their name. If you were innocent you would want to give as much info as possible to solve it, yet they remained anonymous. Why?
Maybe they got scared or nervous they would get caught up in the investigation. It sounds like the police department over there is really corrupt they really screwed over that professor.
Mimi Abraham I don’t think they would have. Maybe but you would still think they would come forward to help the case. If they are innocent they have nothing to hide
Kaseridon Rivers as told in the video , police does a shitty job , if you can't prove you're innocent , you dont want to get into these things. Your name is not out there to clear it
Perhaps, but it could have turned up a lead which could've helped save the case. If they were innocent surely their DNA would not be under her fingerprint or on the bottle? I do see your point though.
maybe she never lent the books out and made that excuse because she didnt want to give them to that person
You’re so good at this 😍 I wouldn’t listen to anybody else for 40 minutes straight. I didn’t fast forward once! I love your content.
The police and "billy" are my biggest suspects here.
She could have willingly gotten into a police car due to where she lived, but it's a long shot. Police get away with murder everyday so idk..
"Billy" maybe lost his temper? But I don't understand how they wouldn't have him as a suspect instead of the professor.
Biggest question: WHY DIDNT THEY LOOK AT THE CAMERAS??
Doesn't sound like a murder which would be done by a police man...
Annie you're beautiful. Single?
You know why 🤦🏽♀️
Because it was the occult Yale teacher
omggggggggg ur makeup looks amazing
Ah Bella I love you!! You’re so beautiful and alluring when telling a story! Thank you for doing these videos I watch them everyday!!
Coming from somebody that lives in Connecticut, Yale is placed in such a strange place. New Haven is literally known as one of the most dangerous locations in CT and Yale is one of the most prestigious and expensive schools in the US. This whole case was a mess from the beginning to the end (speaking evidence wise)
The pups in the back plus a forty minute mystery video I've never been happier
I think mabey the reason she walked home the long way was because she realized someone was following her and didn’t want to lead them directly back to her house and just hoped she could loose them along the way 🤨🤔
This is a plausible reason! I know I've done the very same thing when I'm sketched out by someone. ....
Problem is, she lived literally right on top of a police station. If I was freaked out by somebody following me, the first thing I'd want to do is go straight to a police station. I can't imagine any safer place to be. Sure, she wouldn't have wanted the creep to know where she lived...but if she went to the police station, the creep would have had no way to know she also lived there. If she was freaked out by somebody following her, avoiding a police station is the last thing she would have done, regardless of where she lived. "There's a creep following me. I could either go straight to police headquarters, or on the other hand I could go in the opposite direction of the police, at night, alone, with a creep following me." Doesn't make sense.

In university, we often buy and sell textbooks to people without knowing them, or even lend them to someone you don't know well if the textbook isn't really worth anything anymore; so I think it's viable that it could've been someone she didn't know well.
My theory is that it was "Billy"
That "someone" in her email was Billy and that she didn't mention who they were because everyone knew Billy was strange and was possibly blocked out of popularity
And once she rejected him inside the car he could have driven, his mental disability overcame him and stabbed her
And when the investigation began he believed they would find out it was him so he took his own life
I don't think the word "someone" is significant at all (especially since it was in German and someone who speaks German commented saying it's common in the language simply to refer to a third person), BUT I agree it was "Billy" as well.
The fact that the police never even looked into him or any other lead blows my mind.
Or he was the one and they were to meet and he got there late and saw her and just ran because he knew they would think it was him
Wow
Who the fuck is Billy
It’s Monday for me and I’m watching before school 💞 the best way to start off my morning and week!
Phoebe Rebecca same love a bit of this before school

I don't necessarily have a set theory but I do have some significant questions regarding those books.... personally I think it's strange no one has ever come forward saying they were the one that had borrowed the books. I feel like she was walking out of her way because she needed to pick those books up. She had already told her friend the access code to her building and said she'd leave them in the entryway therefore she would need to retrieve the books as soon as possible. So... what WERE the books?? Were they from a specific class?? Since her friend was coming to borrow them they must know what books these are... they should test the DNA from every student taking whatever class those books came from. Even tho it's been such a long time I think this case could be solved if the right investigator gets ahold of it.
wow good idea i wonder why they did not do that... also like ask everyone who might have needed those books even and see if they had any connection to her.
The books were reportedly GRE study materials and a CD to help study for the GRE exam. Early on I believe the investigators approached the GRE people in an attempt to get a list of those who took or were signed up to take the GRE around the time of the murder but the GRE people refused to release the info based upon privacy concerns. I wonder if they can try again......this time with a subpoena (assuming the records still exist).
Loreal Brown genius!
nahh u missed the part where the prof constantly told his classes that he could commit the perfect murder and then moved to chicago and posted an eerie letter in the newspaper basically saying he got away with it
he actually said that??
Source?
source?
🤯
yeah, wheres the proof and what sources have claimed this as fact?
You are so smart ! & I totally love your mystery videos ! I’ve been watching every single one any time I get before work , after work , during my lunch break , I’m hooked !!
The person she lent her books to could have been a classmate. Did the police ever ask the friend what books she was needing from Suzanne? If they were textbooks for a specific class at Yale, why weren’t her classmates questioned? Was she in any extracurriculars with people she shared a major with at Yale? Referring to this person as “someone” off-hand could mean she was simply familiar with then from one of her classes, which was why she was comfortable lending books to them. It is very interesting and obviously suspicious that this person never returned the books and never cleared their own name, assuming they are innocent.
Yes it is suspicious. The books were known to be GRE study materials, so they could have been lent pretty much to anyone who was studying for the GRE (a general exam required to get into most graduate programs in the U.S.). The person she lent them to has never come forward, which as you say is suspicious in itself.
Yeah, what happened with this lead? Seems like an excellent direction to have pursued in an investigation. After the murder, this person had to have known he or she was the person the books had been lent to. As you say, why wouldn't they come forward, not only to clear their name, but also to give information that might help solve the case?
I definitely think it was the police. Why would they steer all force towards the professor guy. I mean what did he do to them?? I think they just wanted this case to be closed.
These videos make work so much more enjoyable! Thank you for all your hard work!❤️
Who else always loves her tops??🙋🏽♀️
I love it. T-shirts are my favvv so comfy & chic
Can you please do the murder of Betty Shanks!!! I did it for a school assessment and it has SO much information and theories! It happened here in Brisbane (Wilston). It happened in 1952 just before her birthday! It is a really interesting case and I would love to hear your take on it. Also, just adding that Mia is adorable!
"they investigated the crime of the scene" hahaha ur so cute
These videos are my favorite!!! I spend hours binge watching your mystery Monday vids!!! Not to mention I love your personality.
13:17 “crime of the scene” 😂
It was a student with rich family and connections
shaeshae93939 ......I thought that same thing too
200,000 dollars??? he couldve gotten that in a year without all the emotional distress
Isn't there a possibility, that she took the longer route home because she was afraid or didn't want to meet the classmate - Peter again? Maybe their conversation was weird before or something, so she wanted to avoid him. I can definitely see myself taking a long way home only to get around some of my classmates :).
I like when you get an idea and actually keep going to share with us. It’s more personal and keeps the mind going :) thanks Bella! Happy holidays💕💋
I don’t think it’s weird to call them “someone”, it may have just meant that the person she was talking to didn’t know the person.
I really appreciate how much you put in these mystery series, you put so much effort and research into them and that what makes you so unique and amazing, love u so much keep going ❤️❤️❤️❤️
YESS thank you so much for this Bella
wow im so glad your video popped into my recommended this is the content that ive been looking for on youtube thank you for making these videos they're so great for someone with crippling depression who is very interested in mystery cases as a distraction, to pass time and learn! i cant wait to binge watch all your videos now you are so beautiful!!
I believe it's plausible that the reason she said "someone" is because the FRIEND she was going to lend them to didn't know the person. In other words, "i gotta pick them up from joe" that friend may not have any clue who she was talking about, hence her referencing them as someone. In addition, Maybe she took the long way back to her apartment so she didn't have to run into the group of people that she seen on the way there, just not wanting to socialize. Just a thought.
I’ve been waiting all day for this! Halfway through a Uni assignment but that can wait 😎
Whoops 🙊
I feel like it makes no sense for someone who doesn't know her to kill her, so this person definitely knew her
It is rare, but not uncommon. Ted Bundy, early in his deviant career, hit a women on the head with a block of wood he found, all it did is make her scream loudly and he ran off. She lived and he didnt know her.
Gary Ridgeway said as a kid, he stabbed a younger kid in the neighborhood, and it was never reported and the kid lived. He wanted to see what it was like to kill someone, i think he said.
BELLA YOUR UPLOADS!! I’ve never felt so blessed
It's 1:20 am, perfect timing :) love you bella 💕
She would have gotten into a police vehicle because she lives above the department.
A police vehicle is really noticable though. I agree that the police is really suspicious in this case.
i’m sick and rewatching a bunch of murder monday’s. it’s been a great sick day 😩❤️😊

HOLDDDD UPPPP OMG literally dropped everything to watch this 😍 Also your make up is so amazing! Wow just love you!
Watching this before school is the best thing !!! Love you from England xxxxxxx
As soon as you started saying the police would have diverted attention if they were guilty, I was yelling “you mean like trying to ruin a guys life by claiming he’s the murderer?!?” I’m glad you got there too 😂
I’ve been binge watching these videos and they are freaking me out. Definitely makes me think I should be more aware of my surroundings and start letting people know where I am going 😥
