now this certainly is interesting! She works on an eight man lab team that noticed her absence right away! Than she misses a class later in the day! I wonder if any of the eight saw her in the lab? I wonder what time her class was?

GMTA... I was just going to point that out... It sounds like she did not make it to the lab.

Also this statement is interesting...

She brought her Yale identification card with her — records show that she swiped into the building at about 10 a.m —

Is access gained into the building using an id card or is it only her lab that requires swiping of an id card?
 
Annie is caught on video carrying an armful of papers while entering the building. Certainly she didn't walk 3 or 4 blocks carrying all those papers, where did she get them. What have I missed? Maybe the video shown is NOT of her entering the building but of another time???


bold is respectfully mine.. this source seems to think she did:

~snip
A surveillance picture grabbed by an overhead camera shows Le walked the three blocks from her office to the medical science building where she has her lab. She swiped her identification card to get into the building about 10 a.m. Tuesday and seemed to vanish into thin air.

As Dr. Gregory House once said we're twice as likely to be murdered by those we love. Unfortunately, he usually then follows up with a detailed patient history and and a break in into their house to search for potential toxins.

As web sleuths we can't do that and are at the mercy of reporters and LE leaking info to us that may or may not be useful. We know the FBI are going through her personal belongings; we can only assume they are doing the same with her Facebook account, text messages and emails.

The maps are helpful but I don't know New Haven well enough to deduce much from her path - i.e. what streets get to hiways, where there is cover, where there is crime, etc.

I believe there is an answer in her personal relationships and lab partners (which someone mentioned before). Someone also mentioned that building (as home to millions of dollars worth of equipment) would have too much security for a perp to enter and commit a crime.

I don't know. Pending results of a full search of the building and the release of more info by LE and journos about her personal life, I fear I'm at a loss.

BBM. That would be good to know. It would narrow down her disappearance to between entering the building and where the lab is located inside.

just had a thought.... (per your post in bold) Could she have set the files down to swipe in...... swiped the card but never walked into the building? Could she have been summoned from the door? Just a thought

ETA: I guess LE already knows this... if the files are in the lab. I wonder if she had her key card on her person or if it was found in the lab as well (if it WAS found inside the building than you would think someone within the building had something to do with it... as she wouldn't leave it behind or she couldn't get back into the building if she left)
 
Just floating the theory. There could be a Vietnamese-American boyfriend from her past who's not happy about her marrying a white man. As an Asian-American I know that can be an issue of contention.
 
...."A surveillance picture grabbed by an overhead camera shows Le walked the three blocks from her office to the medical science building where she has her lab. She swiped her identification card to get into the building about 10 a.m. Tuesday and seemed to vanish into thin air."...

Every article I read says that Annie didn't feel safe...why would she walk 3 blocks with an arm full of papers? I don't think the surveillance of Annie is when she is entering, maybe of her inside????

The surveillance tapes looks like it's outside to me. In one snapshot, there's a guy actually going out the door as she's getting ready to go in. Kinda leads me to believe that you don't need a card to enter. And that maybe she only needed a card for her lab inside.
 
I'm trying to read along, thank you all for your work at bringing the info here. I appreciate it very much.

Was it ever discussed as to why she didn't feel safe? Just curious.

Were they ever able to locate her exiting the bldg (during fire alarm)? I saw some discussion on that but any additional info is greatly appreciated.

Have the taken any dogs into that bldg yet? TIA

I would be totally shocked if one didn't need a key card to get in. The lab facility would have millions of dollars worth of equipment, drugs, supplies, reference materials, computers etc., not to mention all the people inside who are so focused on their research that they notice nothing else.
 
Here is the pic I was talking about. It actually looks like a girl going through the door. The door that is opened is blocking the view of the wall and I can't see if there is a card scanner.

GREAT FIND Q!!!! That guy held the door for her.... makes me think you are right that she swiped into her lab door or the area where the labs are located! I hope they found this guy to interview him....

Other than her friend making a reference to a previous encounter, no.

Last I heard she has not been seen on tape leaving the building. She could have changed clothes or put on a lab coat.

Have the taken any dogs into that bldg yet?
I've seen pics of dogs outside. I don't know about inside or what kind of dogs they were.

TIA

My answers in blue.
