Yes, but those teams do not necessarily work on the exact same research, or even in the same lab rooms. One faculty researcher may actually have several lab rooms. Even Annie was confirmed to be moving between two or more different labs on the day she went missing. One student may be working with animals as Annie was, while another from the same team may work exclusively with blood, or proteins, or a different breed of animal that is housed in a completely different location. These students of course KNOW and interact with each other, but they interact just as frequently with students who work for other faculty members but MAY be in the same lab. The point was that a lab associate or fellow student could be just as likely to be involved no matter what department or person he worked for/with.
HOWEVER, my main point was....what did this crime have to do with ethnicity? I have seen nothing to indicate that at all.
