Granted, but if I was innocent and was framed, I'd still be yelling it. Wouldn't give a rat's *advertiser censored* if anyone believed me. Can't see how sitting in jail would be better off.
It seems that people here are saying Ray was framed for him. I don't see evidence of a frame up.
Stole phone to text Annie.
Stole ID card (or made fake one that worked with electronic system at Yale)
Stole scrubs for DNA. Removed any trace of their own DNA (from handling).
Stole pen to leave as evidence.
Once they killed Annie, they hugged Ray so the transfer of her DNA would be on him.
Convinced Ray to bring wire, fishing hooks and bubble gum to work the next day.
What am I missing?
I just find it too far fetched to believe Ray was framed. If he hadn't done these things, he would have said it during his hours of interrogation with LE. IMO
Good points!
Texts - you don't need a phone to send a text. Did the police say that the texts originated from Ray Clark's phone? They could have been sent from a PC, it's been done. Otherwise, we can also assume the text Ray sent was legit and he didn't just send it to entrap her in a murder. Perhaps Annie Le was just a target of convenience? Didn't someone mention a series of texts or emails that were sent to people around campus? I can't remember what that was all about.
ID Cards - they can be stolen or faked. Maybe even the records can be hacked into. Or Ray was legitimately going to those rooms because he had business going there. It was September 8th, the beginning of the school year. His routines would not be the same than if you were talking about mid term like November. If Ray did kill her and was going to the trouble of concealing her body, he would also conceal his card swipes. All he had to do is take her card off her body. Problem solved. Did they say if her card was on her body?
Stolen Scrubs - They could have done that, and worn their own scrubs and gloves to prevent their own DNA from rubbing on the victim. What was the clothing found in the ceiling? Did they ever identify if they were men's or women's clothing? I take it that Ray wouldn't come to work in his scrubs, so I think by the same token, he'd leave them at work. So where would he leave it? In a locker with a lock? Or just hanging somewhere?
Stolen Pen - not unusual. If Ray put it down, someone could have picked it up. If he left it in his scrubs, and he took off his scrubs, then they'd have access to the pen too. Is there any testimony from students that Ray talked about losing his pen? Did anyone find it weird that he was using a different pen? We're assuming, of course, that reports that he preferred that pen are true.
Annie's DNA on Ray Clark's clothes - that is harder to explain. Which clothing did they find it on? Was it clothing they know he wore that week? Or was it clothing from weeks earlier? If he had killed her with particular clothing on, then there would be blood, right? Then he would have destroyed that evidence long ago. And her DNA couldn't be on him, unless he didn't wash for a week and a half.
The fishing hooks, wire and gum - who saw him with this the next day? Is that why the police looked at him funny in the first place? If he was going to fish out his pen, he wouldn't literally use fishing hooks. It would be very difficult to get a pen with that contraption. Even MacGyver couldn't do that. Gum would require pressure to make it stick enough to pick up the pen. He'd be better off using something like fly paper on the end of a string. And he certainly wouldn't do it during the day time when people were around.
We don't know what Ray said to LE. They're only telling us what they want us to hear to build their case against Clark in the public media.
