Yale Murder Case Is Focus of E! Special
Updated 4:00 PM EST, Wed, Feb 24, 2010
<snipped>
E! is known for dishing on celeb relationships, movies and other entertainment-type news, but E! is broadcasting hard news through E! Investigates,&#8221; and tonight's episode will focus on the Annie Le murder at Yale.

The is called "Crime on Campus" and will focus, in part, on the graduate student slaying, the New Haven Register reports, and it will feature an interview with the editor of the Yale Daily News and New Haven's police chief.

Ross said the show does not just sensationalize the crimes, but also tries to get &#8220;behind the headlines, up close and personal to make it a little more real&#8221; in cases that may or may not have an entertainment connection.

Raymond Clark III, of Middletown, is scheduled to appear Wednesday in New Haven Superior Court.

Clark is accused of strangling 24-year-old Annie Le, of Placerville, Calif., in September. Le’s body was found stuffed behind a research lab wall on the day she was supposed to get married on Long Island. Clark, 24, has pleaded not guilty to murder charges. He has been jailed in lieu of $3 million bail.

*NOTE: Hearing Today 2pm ET!

Clark warrant may be unsealed
Published Wednesday, March 3, 2010
<snipped>
This afternoon a judge will likely unseal the last search warrant in the investigation into Yale lab technician Raymond Clark III, who pleaded not guilty in January to the murder of Annie Le GRD ’13, one of Clark’s lawyers said Tuesday, even though a motion has been filed to keep the warrants sealed. The lawyer, Joseph Lopez, declined to comment on the warrant’s contents because it is sealed, but said he does not think it will contain any surprising information.

“I don’t think it’s been kept [sealed] longer than the others because of any great surprises,” Lopez said. “There’s not anything particularly unusual about it. It’s just more of the same.” The search and seizure warrant in question was issued after Clark was arrested on Sept. 17, Lopez said.

Clark will not appear in court today because his attorneys did not feel his presence was necessary, Lopez said. It is not uncommon for a defendant not to appear in court if details that don’t require his or her presence or immediate consultation are going to be discussed, Grudberg said.

Judge To Unseal Final Annie Le Warrant
Mar 3, 2010 3:43 pm
<snipped>
Judge Roland Fasano issued the ruling Wednesday in the case of Ray Clark, who was charged with strangling Le and hiding her body in a wall in the basement of a Yale lab building where they both worked. Clark waived his right to appear at a brief court hearing Wednesday in state Superior Court on Church Street. In his absence, Judge Fasano ruled on the defense&#8217;s request to extend the seal on a final search warrant affidavit.

Fasano unsealed redacted versions of eight other search warrant affidavits in Clark&#8217;s case in December. The documents revealed a trove of new information on what led police to justify searching the body and possessions of 24-year-old Clark in the days leading up to his arrest. They revealed, for example, that police claimed they found blood &#8220;in plain view&#8221; on the kitchen floor of Clark&#8217;s Middletown apartment.

One more affidavit remains under seal by request of the defense, Judge Fasano said Wednesday. The search warrant was issued sometime after Clark&#8217;s arrest, he said. Clark&#8217;s lawyers, Public Defenders Beth Merkin and Joseph Lopez, requested the seal be extended. Fasano turned down that request. He ruled that the ninth affidavit, like the others, should be redacted and unsealed. Fasano said he would issue a memorandum ordering that the final affidavit be redacted and released to the public in three working days, allowing time for appeals. The redacted document would likely be released Tuesday morning, depending on when Fasano issues that memo.

Clark was given a new court date of April 7.

Judge To Decide This Month On Release Of Warrant In Annie Le Investigation
4:50 p.m. EST, March 3, 2010
<snipped>
A Superior Court judge will decide later this month whether to unseal the last search warrant police used to investigate the death of Yale University student Annie Le last September.

Judge Roland D. Fasano said Wednesday that he intends to redact certain passages from the warrant and write a memorandum of his intent to make the document public. Then, interested parties have three days to appeal.

It is unclear how police used this warrant in their investigation. Warrants typically include crime details that police use to support their request to search for evidence.

Annie Le Yale slaying probe: Final warrant to be released
Published: Thursday, March 4, 2010 2:48 AM EST
<snipped>
The final search warrant affidavit in the police investigation of Raymond Clark III, of Middletown, and his alleged slaying of Yale graduate student Annie Le soon will be unsealed, a Superior Court judge announced Wednesday during a court hearing. Judge Roland Fasano said he will file a memorandum on the matter and will redact sensitive material, as he did with the previous warrants.

This will be followed by a three-day appeal period for attorneys and prosecutors. The document then will be released to the public.

Clark&#8217;s attorneys, public defenders Joseph E. Lopez and Beth A. Merkin, were unable to be in court Wednesday, but Public Defender Tejas Bhatt represented Clark. The defendant did not appear either, because all parties knew the hearing would be brief.

A court clerk estimated the material will be released within the next few weeks. Fasano scheduled the next pre-trial session for 2 p.m. April 7.

Clark warrant to be public
Published Thursday, March 4, 2010
<snipped>
The last search warrant in the case of case of Raymond Clark III, the man who in January pleaded not guilty to the September murder of Annie Le GRD &#8217;13, will likely be made public in the coming weeks.

New Haven Superior Court Judge Roland Fasano said at a brief hearing Wednesday that he plans to &#8220;apply the same reasoning and the same standards&#8221; to the unsealing of the final warrant as he did in unsealing the other warrants in the case, which were made public in November and December, and that he plans to redact portions of the remaining warrant.

Within a few weeks, Fasano will file a memorandum calling for the documents to be unsealed, and the unsealed portions of the warrant will be held for three days afterward before being released in order to allow for an appeal.

The warrant was issued after Clark&#8217;s Sept. 17 arrest, one of Clark&#8217;s lawyers, Joseph Lopez, said Tuesday.

Final Annie Le Warrant To Be Unsealed On Monday
Mar 9, 2010 3:19 pm
<snipped>
New details in the killing of Yale grad student Annie Le may be revealed Monday, as a judge has ordered a final search warrant affidavit to be opened to public view.

Superior Court Judge Roland Fasano issued a memorandum Tuesday afternoon calling for a 10th search warrant affidavit to be unsealed in the case of Raymond Clark. Clark, a former Yale lab tech, was charged Sept. 17 with strangling Le and hiding her body in a Yale lab building where they both worked. Fasano&#8217;s ruling concerns a final search warrant executed on or about Nov. 30, after Clark&#8217;s arrest. The document has remained under seal at the request of the defense.

Fasano said he has redacted limited portions of the 10th search warrant affidavit, as he did with prior affidavits. He removed &#8220;specific, offending material.&#8221; He didn&#8217;t publicly state why he was redacting those portions, because doing so would reveal the substance of the redactions.

Clark entered a pro-forma not guilty plea on Jan. 26 to two charges of murder and felony murder. His next court date is April 7.

Warrant: Why Cops Sought Saliva Sample From Annie Le&#8217;s Alleged Killer&#8217;s Fiancee
Mar 15, 2010 9:26 am
<snipped>
Police sought a DNA sample from the fiancee of a Yale lab tech accused of killing Yale grad student Annie Le. They were trying to determine if she played any role in the murder.

That information surfaced in a redacted search warrant affidavit released Monday.

According to the Nov. 25, 2009 warrant, written by New Haven Detectives Scott Branfuhr and Al Vazquez, police had obtained a lanyard attached to the fiancee&#8217;s identification card during a previous raid of a Middletown apartment she shared with Clark. DNA collected from that lanyard matched fiancee&#8217;s DNA. So did part of a DNA &#8220;mixture&#8221; found on a pen and a bloody sock discovered along with Annie Le&#8217;s body in a basement wall cavity of a Yale animal lab testing facility at 10 Amistad St.

&#8220;Obtaining buccal swabs from [the fiancee] will either prove or disprove whether or not [she] is the single source of said DNA profile obtained from the lanyard, the sock, and the pen,&#8221; the detectives wrote. &#8220;Obtaining a confirmatory DNA sample from the source of the DNA found in these items will help investigators prove or disprove any involvement [she] may have had in the murder of Annie Le.&#8221;

But they were at least making sure to cover their bases.

10th search warrant in Le case released
Monday, March 15, 2010
<snipped>
The 10th search warrant in the investigation of Raymond Clark III and the slaying of Yale graduate student Annie Le focuses on Clark&#8217;s fiancee, Jennifer Hromadka, including tests of her DNA, but there is no evidence linking her to Le&#8217;s death.

The warrant, released this morning, is blacked out in a couple of parts after the phrase, &#8220;Jennifer Hromadka, a white female.&#8221; A Superior Court judge, prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed certain portions would be redacted.

Hromadka works as a Yale animal technician, as did Clark. The document noted that sometimes she works at the Animal Research Center at 10 Amistad St., where Le&#8217;s body was found Sept. 13. She was reported missing Sept. 8.

However, the police affidavit stated Hromodka&#8217;s electronic key card usage from Sept. 8-13 showed she did not use it to access 10 Amistad St. during that period. Police have said Clark did use his key card repeatedly during that time.

Cops wanted fiancée's DNA for crime scene tests
Published Monday, March 15, 2010
Updated: 12:11 p.m.
<snipped>
Police sought DNA samples from the fiancée of Raymond Clark III, who pleaded not guilty in January to the murder of Annie Le GRD &#8217;13, because they thought her DNA might match traces found at the crime scene, according to documents released today.

The fiancée, Jennifer Hromadka, has not been a suspect in the investigation, her attorney, Robert Berke, said in December. But police requested her DNA on Nov. 25 in hopes of determining whether it matched an unknown female DNA sample found in Clark&#8217;s apartment and on the inside of a bloody green pen at the crime scene, according to the search warrant just released.

As of November, the document said, the sample could not be &#8220;eliminated&#8221; as a possible contributor to the mixture of DNA found on one of Le&#8217;s white athletic socks, which was hidden in a ceiling of the Yale research facility at 10 Amistad St., where Le&#8217;s body was discovered Sept. 13.

Berke said he did not know whether Hromadka's DNA matched any traces found in the crime scene or whether she was now considered a suspect in the case.

Joseph Lopez, one of Clark's defense lawyers, said he does not believe DNA testing for the investigation has been completed and does not know whether Hromadka is a suspect. He added that because they have been dating, their DNA most likely would be found together in various places.

"All DNA can tell you is if someone came into contact with something," Lopez said. "[The warrant] really hasn't changed anything in the case."

Yale Suspect&#8217;s Fiancée Submitted Saliva for Investigation
Updated 11:45 AM EDT, Mon, Mar 15, 2010
<snipped>
The fiancée of Raymond Clark III, the former Yale animal lab tech charged in the murder of Annie Le, submitted saliva for DNA analysis as police began investigating the case.

A search warrant released on Monday and shows that police seized Jennifer Hromadka&#8217;s lanyard and saliva to compare to evidence found at the crime scene. Hromadka and Clark both worked as Yale lab technicians and lived together in Middletown.

Police found the lanyard on Sept. 16 while searching the couple&#8217;s home and said they conducted the DNA analysis to determine whether or not Hromadka was the only source of DNA found on the lanyard, a sock and a pen.

&#8220;Obtaining a confirmatory DNA sample from the source of the DNA found in these items will help investigators prove or disprove any involvement Jennifer Hromadka may have had in the murder of Annie Le,&#8221; the search warrant states.

The warrant does not include the DNA results but Hromdaka has not been charged in connection with the case. Clark is the only person to be charged in the case.

Warrant: DNA Of Clark's Fiance Tested
Lab Technician Accused In Graduate Student's Death
POSTED: 10:32 am EDT March 15, 2010
UPDATED: 12:54 pm EDT March 15, 2010

The warrant, released Monday, does not reveal the results of testing of Jennifer Hromadka's DNA. The warrant shows that DNA taken from Hromadka's lanyard was compared to DNA found on a bloody sock and pen.

"The source of the DNA profile from the lanyard cannot be eliminated as a contributor to the DNA profile from the blood-like stain from the outside of the sock," the warrant reads.

Hromadka is engaged to lab technician Clark and also worked at the university. The couple also shared a Middletown apartment.

Sources in the case told Eyewitness News that all people int he lab were asked to voluntarily submit DNA samples. An attorney for Hromadka told Eyewitness News that his client did not agree to submit DNA samples voluntarily.

Search warrant on Yale suspect's fiancee released
Posted: 03/15/2010 04:08:40 AM PDT
Updated: 03/15/2010 08:25:17 AM PDT
<snipped>
Authorities investigating the killing of a Yale University graduate student sought the DNA of the suspect's girlfriend to determine whether she had any involvement, according to a newly released search warrant.
The warrant released Monday does not indicate the test results of the DNA taken from Jennifer Hromadka, whose fiance, Raymond Clark III, is charged with killing 24-year-old Annie Le in September. Hromadka hasn't been charged, and police have said they don't expect to make any more arrests in the case.

Police say Clark's DNA was found on a pen under Le's body, and his and Le's DNA was found on a bloody sock. The warrant was obtained to compare DNA on Hromadka's ID lanyard with DNA on the sock and pen.

Telephone messages left Monday for Hromadka's attorney, police and a prosecutor weren't immediately returned.

Clark and Hromadka were seen leaving a coffee shop in a car in which "blood-like stains" were found hours after Le was killed, according to search warrant affidavits unsealed in December.

Experts said investigators may seek someone's DNA to exclude him or her as a source of the DNA that was collected as evidence.

Fiancee of Yale Murder Suspect Was Also Investigated
Annie Le Was Found Murdered in a Yale Labratory in September 2009
March 15, 2010
<snipped>
According to a search warrant released today, DNA found on a lanyard that attached to Jennifer Hromadka's university key card was found on a pen and a bloody sock found in the wall where Le's body was stuffed.

The search warrant claimed that because of the apparent DNA matches between Hromadka's lanyard and on the bloody socks, there was "probably cause that evidence of the crime of murder... will be found within the ... swab taken from Jennifer Hromadka."

But the results of the DNA tests, which were taken more than three months ago in November, are not revealed in the search warrant, and Hromadka has never been accused or charged in connection to Le's murder.

Le slaying: No evidence links Clark's fiancee
Tuesday, March 16, 2010
<snipped>
Robert Berke, the attorney for Raymond Clark III&#8217;s fiancee, Jennifer Hromadka, confirmed Monday that police had obtained a court order to get a saliva sample from her in late November or early December in order to get her DNA. He said he did not know the results. &#8220;As far as I know, she is not a suspect,&#8221; Berke said. &#8220;But no one has told me either way.&#8221;

The warrant was obtained to compare the DNA on her lanyard with DNA on the sock and pen. A source noted Monday that Hromakda could have come into contact with objects such as the pen and sock during her regular domestic activities at the Middletown apartment she shared with Clark.

Although Hromadka occasionally is assigned to 10 Amistad St., the document said, a review of her electronic key card usage for Sept. 8-13 showed she did not use her card to access that building in that period. Le was reported missing Sept. 8, and her body was found behind a wall at the research building Sept. 13.

But the affidavit also added, &#8220;It is not uncommon for an individual employed and assigned to work at 10 Amistad St. to access the facility by following behind others accessing and using their respective electronic key cards.&#8221;

Warrant: Clark's Fiancée Submitted Saliva Sample To Police
March 16, 2010
<snipped>
The warrant, obtained by police Nov. 25 and made public Monday, sought samples from Jennifer Hromadka to compare her DNA profile with evidence found at the crime scene. Her attorney, Robert Berke, said police had not contacted him since the warrant was issued. He said he did not know the outcome of the tests.

Prosecutor John Waddock declined to comment on the case Monday, as did Beth Merkin, Clark's public defender.

A report on the testing of the lanyard showed "the findings of a single female DNA profile obtained from the neck area of the lanyard which has Jennifer Hromadka's identification card attached and the results of a comparison of that lanyard to other pieces of evidence described as a pen and a sock, both of which were located within the wall cavity where Annie Le's lifeless body was found," the search warrant said.

Scientists testing the samples told police "that an object consistently or routinely worn by an individual is expected to generate a DNA profile from that individual," the warrant said.

To confirm that the DNA on the lanyard belonged to Hromadka, the warrant says, investigators needed to compare it with Hromadka's DNA.

"Obtaining [mouth] swabs from Jennifer Hromadka will either prove or disprove whether or not Jennifer Hromadka is the single source of said DNA profile obtained from the lanyard, the sock and the pen," the warrant says. "Obtaining a confirmatory DNA sample from the source of the DNA found in these items will help investigators prove or disprove any involvement Jennifer Hromadka may have had in the murder of Annie Le."
