But you're not saying that her body has been found and they are purposely lying by saying that her body was found, are you. Can you imagine...the FBI telling people that the woman is still missing and all that goes with that, people looking our for her, students not knowing the facts on campus. LE can withhold information, they do that all the time, but the legal and public relations problems that LE would have if this lie was told would be monumental, bigger than the story itself.

My son is in LE and I don't think they would purposely lie to the press and public about something this important. Usually, if they didn't want the info out there, they would say "I'm sorry, we're not able to comment on that at this time"....or just the usual "No Comment"......:silenced:

There were two inappropriately smiling women: Linda Lorimer, Vice-President at Yale University, and FBI Special Agent, Kim Mertz (from AngelWhoCares link below.)

Both acted as if they were introducing Chamber of Commerce members to a group of children.

I agree. The Vice_President at Yale acted as though this were an awards show and she was announcing the nominees. I'll give her a break though, since she probably has not been in the situation before. However, there was no excuse for the FBI agent's demeanor.

Finding a PART of a body or perhaps some bones is technically not finding a body - and without DNA or other testing is certainly not finding HER body - even though it presumably would BE her body. A claim that they did not find a body would then be legally accurate, although wildly misleading.

So let everybody think a killer may be on the loose when in fact they KNOW that a killer is NOT on the loose. Also they specifically said (and they didn't give many specifics) that they don't believe she is a runaway bride.

Well, their demeanor did not portray that a killer was on the loose either. :bang:

What if they found clothes belonging to Annie, that were not blood stained and they believe she staged this and is safe? I'm just throwing this out there in light of the "happy" mood expressed by LE at the pc.

and what if she was carrying in a change of clothes and was able to leave the building without anyone recognizing her on tape? This of course is going with the theory that she wanted to disapear.

I hope she is okay!

OK. I'll go with that. But let's keep in mind...we all were just waiting for the body found statement and that taints how we're looking at this news conference. I posted about a minute into it that we were not going to have a body found announcement.
puffster said:
Sounds like they didn't find the body.

I don't have the quote...but FBI lady said we need to find her, we have not found her, she is missing. So, yes, that would be wildly misleading to say the least. But not out of the question.

Whose body parts could it be if not hers?

I seriously can not see LE playing with us like this for ANY reason! Maybe I am naive but when LE talks I believe what comes out of their mouth..But it can be all LIES & it is OK? :confused:

You see, I don't look at it from the perspective that they're "lying"...I look at it like they're being particularly careful of the words they use in order to protect the "evidence" that they do have. If they officially release anything too early, it more than likely wouldn't be allowed to be used in a court of law. IMO, this is their way of securing the evidence.

A guest (?) on Fox News was just asked if chemicals from the lab could have been used to dispose of the body & he said it takes so much to actually do that (more then ppl think) he didnt believe that was the case.
Click to expand...
Yeah, I doubted if there would be enough material/large enough container/sufficient time to dispose of a body that way. However, (sorry to be graphic) but the body could have been dismembered with some being removed in a trash can, or other container and others (identifying fingerprints, for example) being placed in acid, burned, etc. Remember the case recently where the girl's body was identified by the serial number on her breast implants?

Well, what if they were men's clothes? That might be Annie's blood on them, and they were hidden in the ceiling to be collected later...And if they haven't found her, then it may take a bit to determine whose blood it is.

That's what I'm thinking...

It would take time to figure out whose blood it is no matter. The only thing that would strike them if they were the clothes that she was known to be wearing the day she went missing. They have to get her DNA -- which they probably have done already -- but it's not like a home pregnancy test.

I think we also have to keep in mind this is a University setting. Would it possible at this point they have suspect in mind but have not been able to locate him? How would they know if he may be suicidal at this point and may not mind taking a few other out with him. Over the top I admit, but possible in a campus setting.
 
Being a long-time lurker and very seldom poster I hesitate to posit this theory. I was hoping someone else would do it and I could "thank" them for their post.

I wonder if the smirky press conference which failed to acknowledge a "body" was due to the fact that LE believes she is alive.

I looked at the picture of Annie entering the building and at first it looked like she was cradling a baby. I now know that she wasn't, but her outfit and that image stuck with me.

Does anyone think she may have had a miscarriage (natural or otherwise) and that that might be what the bloody clothes in the ceiling was all about. Perhaps we are talking about a fetus and her blood-stained clothes.

One could hope she was recovering somewhere from a miscarriage and did not want anyone to know she was pregnant for any number of reasons. I think she did very much want to get married, but accidents happen.

The theory at least allows that she might be alive.

Feel free to throw tomatoes now.

I believe it was planned only AFTER it was reported by so many her body had been found..

I think the presser was damage control...simple as that. I think some info leaked out that they didn't want leaked and that's the reason for the presser. They told us absolutely nothing, except that they "categorically" didn't find a body.I believe they found proof of her demise and it was leaked prematurely. The news leaks stated "police confirmed", not "police stated", which makes me believe it's an actual le officer confirming but off the record.

I wondered about garbage shoots? Also since there was a delay in reporting, would the containers have already been emptied and taken to a landfill or transfer station? Sorry for the description guys : (
 
No tomatos Goldie Finch. Thanks for posting your idea. I think at this point in time it is a valid and viable as any other that has been floated here to date.

FBI: Student's body has not been found
By Harrison Korn and Paul Needham

Reports that Annie Le's MED ’13 body was recovered from the lab where she was last seen Tuesday are untrue, law enforcement officials said Saturday.

At a press conference outside Woodbridge Hall this evening, officials from the University and law enforcement agencies also confirmed that evidence had been retrieved from the research facility at 10 Amistad St., but said that it had not yet been tied to Le. A New Haven Police Department official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation, said earlier today that bloody clothes and other items had been...
