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

[Jersey*Girl]

They are saying a body has not been found, but evidence has been found....but not Annie's clothing....

This is really creepy & knowing that chemicals were available in the lab....My stomach is aching thinking just what may have happened to this lovely young woman.

I feel so awlfu for her loved ones....PLEASE media leave them all alone right now. 'The way they were talking in some of the videos & the live feed they are all about the $ maker shot! :shakehead:

Hi Angel. Here's my take on this stupid farce of a news conference. They are wording everything they say very carefully. I think that parts of a body were found and they have to test it before they can inform it is Annie. Something is just not kosher with several news agencies reporting her body has been found, including the major networks, and stating that police confirm it...then basically retracting it. I think they can't release that information until it's proven it's Annie, or even proven it's a body (or part of a body), otherwise they could be held responsible legally for disclosing that information before proof of such evidence...which in turn would NOT be admissable in court. So that's my take on why they now say a body hasn't been found.

Haven't seen this posted yet, sorry if someone did and I missed it.

It's a live blog of the events as they are happening at Yale - http://www.yaledailynews.com/crosscampus/2009/09/12/live-blog-press-conference-woodbridge-hall/

I definitely heard "homicide" as well

agree

I hope that the people doing the investigation are more professional than this crew. I sense that the FBI lady is the lead spokesperson only because she is FBI.

Well, that was one of the weirdest press conferences I have ever heard.
Jersey Girl: everything...... very carefully........
I appreciate your opinion on why they are tip toeing around everything.

Good grief, just say it. We will let you know as soon as we can.....

WO WO WO WO. MAJOR NEWS NETWORKS? Which one? As far as I can tell this was reported by the FOX affiliate in New Haven and there was a mention early this afternoon in a NY Daily News post that was quickly removed. IF anybody has any other evidence please put it forth.

FWIW, every time I refresh the front page of Fox News, the article on Annie is altered. That's very irksome. At least give the time of the updates.

"I will categorically say a body has not been found," Mertz said.

:angel:

snipped

A statement like this can not be made just cos they feel like being secretive..Am I wrong about that?

 

[dreamweaver]

agree

===============
yes. me too.

 

[STEADFAST]

I definitely heard "homicide" as well

I think he probably said "the Amistad Building" and not "the homicide building."

 

[Muffet]

Did we ever find out if there was an incinerator nearby? Awful thought, but ...it would explain "no body."

 

[jyram]

agree

I thought I heard "homocide" intially, when I rewound it, I believe he says "Amistad" without a doubt.

 

[browneyes]

Why doesn't one of these reporters ask if there's a way out of the building that wouldn't be caught on camera?

I have never seen a pc start with so much direction by LE for the reporters to not ask questions.

 

[TonyGatto]

I definitely heard "homicide" as well

Oh come on he said Amistad. Grassy knoll anyone?

 

[Missy70Texas]

Why is the FBI involved in this???

 

[Angel Who Cares]

Fox News network is back reporting live about the update that no body was found & talking about the items....!!

:angel:

 

[Mouse]

I think he probably said "the Amistad Building" and not "the homicide building."

That's what I was thinking, too. Although "Amistad" and "homicide" sound similar enough that I could see how you could Freudian-slip one for the other.

 

[debirlfan]

I think he probably said "the Amistad Building" and not "the homicide building."

I heard homicide. My guess would be Freudian slip between two similar words.

Fox News: Stunning developments

Yeah..Tell us about it!
