CT- Annie Le, 24, Yale Student, Missing 9/8/09 #1

[KR2tonenow]

I am having a hard time thinking she left the building by normal means due to the video cameras that were mentioned in a post upstream..

This was a controlled access lab facility.. there had to be plenty~o~ cameras.

Either she (moo):

1) left on her own purposfully avoiding the cameras
2) went down the fire escape/stairs durinig the fire drill (most likely cameras not pointed at this sort of entrance/exit)... because she was lured with the fire drill ~or~ she went that way to avoid camera detection
3) has not left the building (does everyone remember that case where the woman... and sorry I cannot recall her name at the moment....was lured in to an unused floor, killed and stuffed in the air duct)

I wonder if all the maintenance people/other students and faculty in the building that day have been questioned?

RIGHT!

They need to bring cadaver's in the building. My first thought when I heard this on NG, was she was still in the building somewhere.

This flyer shows two dates of birth --- July 31, 1985 and July 3, 1985, birthplace: Texas. (If you want to drive an astro crazy, this is how to do it...).

Any possibility we could get correct date of birth and possibly birth city?

TIA,
Soulscape

Soulscape - here is the info posted at Yale University Office of Public Affairs
I would think that it is the correct birthdate.

My first thought after seeing that picture of her is that she is reading an open book.

Missing Yale bride-to-be Annie Le penned article on campus safety with tips for fellow students

Snipped:

She summed up her article saying: "In short, New Haven is a city, and all cities have their perils, but with a little street smarts, one can avoid becoming yet another statistic."

I wonder if Annie was being stalked and this was her way of dealing with that issue, to let other students have awareness about safety. Also campus police and FBI needs to interview the editor of that magazine. I think this was someone close to her on campus i.e. jealous and didn't want this poor girl to get married.

I thought maybe some envelopes but the book fits better

A little more about the building:

Stem cell brings this to a whole other level. Annie was clearly very intellgent and a star in the Biology arena.

 

[Dogface]

Although people seem to dismiss the possibility of classmates, med. students, and fellow competitive researchers as possible perps - I don't think that should be ruled out. Competition can be fierce between research students and medical students.

It truly is a possibility - especially since she was teaching too. I was in lab after class one day with another student, and the TA, when the student physically attacked the TA over a bad grade...I can't even imagine the competition at an institute like Yale.

ETA - After looking more at the second picture, it does look peculiar.:waitasec:

I can see that now, or maybe a big 3 ring binder that is open.

You know, there have been alot of biologists and biochemists that have disappeared or met with foul play in the past decade. Two from Harvard, and one from inside the Salt Lake City airport the lady in the NJ watertank. Not saying this has to do with anything. It just strikes me as odd.

Don Wiley
Now Memphis police are exploring several theories involving suicide, robbery and murder. They also wonder if the disappearance could be connected to his expertise.
Wiley is seen as one of the world's leading researchers of deadly viruses, including HIV and the Ebola virus.

Police on Saturday identified a body discovered in the Mississippi River this week as that of a Harvard University biochemist, missing for more than a month. More at link:
http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/12/22/missing.scientist/

Margie Profet
The most striking thing about biologist Margie Profet used to be her unconventional theories about evolution and pregnancy, conceived as she surfed the perilous waters of academe with neither tenure track nor PhD.
Now, more than 15 years after she made headlines as a young scientific “It Girl,” the most striking thing about Profet is how her life suddenly stopped. One day she was at Harvard University and the next day she wasn't. The prodigal prodigy vanished into thin air, disappeared without a trace. More at link:

Right an astute observation! Stem cell is very controversial. Totally worth looking into.
I just think it odd that her disappearance appears staged. Weren't there survelliance inside this new facility? I don't believe that they have no record of her leaving the building. Every student can be interviewed who was present at the fire drill. Someone saw Annie.

 

[KR2tonenow]

Didn't Yale Police state that the students have to use a plastic card to get in the facility? If so, everyone is accounted for and if someone sneaked in, the survelliance would have caught it.

unless it was someone who had access to the building... which to me, at this point, seems to make the most sense

 

[KR2tonenow]

It is amazing to me that 72 hours can go by, and Yale University can actually get away with the minimal information they are handing out. The last article out of there was 8 hours ago. If this was my daughter I would be LIVID!

 

[nursebeeme]

I cannot believe there has not been a presser!

 

[KR2tonenow]

What kind of crap does this VERY expensive university even think they can get away with this. Now if she disappeared in her car off campus, I could see. But Yale is really minimizing that the LAST known appearance was INSIDE their building...I hope Annie Le's family starts speaking out! Gosh this makes me grrrrr!

 

[awakewriter]

Competitive environment, stress, pressure ... could be she knew someone else was falsifying data.

 

[PMLsmom]

Does anyone know if the Astros have done a chart? I looked, but couldn't find one, if done. TIA

 

[nursebeeme]

PMLsmom,
Soulscape was trying to verify the birthday... I think they may be working on it...

The research center at 10 Amistad St. where Annie Le MED '13 was last seen continues to be the center of activity for law enforcement officials investigating her disappearance.
As FBI agents repeatedly combed the corridors in the building’s basement, Deputy Secretary Martha Highsmith, who oversees campus security operations, hosted a meeting for the building's occupants at about 2 p.m. today, updating them on the investigation and informing them of new security precautions in the facility.

The building is the center of the investigation it would seem!

Thanks, H2 and also Beeme for the Astro thread request on Annie.

This quote, "Annie Le' Co-Worker: 'We're Not Going to Look at the Worst Here'. Is weird, underplaying, and suggests that Annie got cold feet here. No wonder its being down played.

Looking foward to seeing what the Astro's say.
