CT- Annie Le, missing from Yale, thread #3 BODY FOUND

[CuriousTwo]

What are the chances it's anyone else? So horrible!

 

[Kat]

oh no i.b.nora do you have an article? oh man this isn't good.

My husband graduated from Yale, and he says he has never been in that exact lab building..but in the lab building he was in the animal area smells were always contained. He said it smelled sort of like a freezer down there (extremely cold temperatures and that "freezer smell"..not sure what he means). He said it was always very sanitary, and no animal smells were present.

was just going to say something along these same lines... I am a nurse and I would assume that the ventilation in this building is similar to hospitals.... my nursing buddies and I always joke that the hospital is one of the few places that you can fart and get away with it (due to ventilation)

Thanks, Kaylynn. I know the freezer smell and was leaning toward a very sterile environment, but wondering why they didn't start to smell her body. I have heard that decomp starts to present odor almost immediately. Perhaps the cool temps held that off for a couple of days.

Maybe she was found in the walls of the freezer room...the freezing temperatures would completely mask the smell, possibly.

If the incident occurred at all and was later but before 1:00 p.m., she is at ground level in a dark place and may be contained.

that is amazingly accurate! I love our forensic astrologists!!

Maybe the lab is colder than normal and decomp was slower????
would cold make a dog's nose not smell as good?
and if she was sealed in a wall? maybe in plastic or something?

When they say human remains.......does it mean the whole body or pieces?

In a message sent to the Yale community, university President Richard Levin said the body of a female was found in the basement of the Amistad Building.

but if it is a dropped ceiling how could it support the weight of an adult to crawl around? I am asking because I haven't the faintest idea... This for sure cements in my mind that the steam causing the fire alarm was deliberate INDEED!

eta: I also think the perp had no time after the crime to clean up... so he/she did so very quickly and in a place (ceiling and wall) that they had familiarity with...

ITA Nurse and think when we learn all the details your thought will be what happened.

Do you think LE has a bead on who killed her? Just your gut feeling. xox

 

[panthera]

I have to say, someone would have to really have intimate knowledge of that lab to know where to hide her body so quickly. I think it is a classmate or someone that worked in the lab with her.

so so sad for this beautiful young woman...

I definitely believe it's someone with a lot of knowledge of the building now and yes, I've been thinking someone who works with her all along. MOO

Eerily spot on!

aww man. I'm so sorry. Prayers for her fiance, family and friends.

It would definitely slow down decomp. MOO

Thanks to TUBA and her other astrologers, they have been 100% correct again.........

 

[belimom]

We went to supper tonight and I came back to this news. How terrible... RIP, Annie Le.

 

[debirlfan]

Are we sure she was actually in the lab? Might this area with the dropped ceiling be a stairway or hallway?

 

[nursebeeme]

Who did this?

Someone who had access to the building.

Someone who knew the building well.

Someone Annie knew (even if only in passing on a daily basis)

~~~~
I think this person will be caught quickly.... I think after this happened this person had personality changes that could have been noticed by friends, peers, etc. I bet this person also had some scratches or marks on him or herself. I bet this person had a locker in this building/access to a change of clothing.

Thanks SS, as that means it would be workable to drop her body from the floor above the basement into a hole behind a wall. Could it be the clothing was found in the same general area? Makes sense the perp would do it that way if he could.

Police found what they believe is the body of missing Yale med student Annie Le, ending a five-day manhunt that transfixed the nation.

New Haven police made the announcement at a press conference at 1 Union Ave. at 9 p.m. Sunday.

The body was found shortly after 5 p.m. Sunday at 10 Amistad St., the Yale medical building where Le did lab experiments, said Assistant Police Chief Pete Reichard.

&#8220;We are assuming that it&#8217;s her,&#8221; Reichard said.

Le, a 24 year-old third-year Yale pharmacology graduate student, went missing on Tuesday. Video cameras captured her entering 10 Amistad St., but they never captured her coming out. More than 100 law enforcement agents descended on the city to try to solve the mystery. They watched hours of video surveillance tape taken from over 70 cameras. They combed through the 120,000-square-foot building day and night.

Sunday, they finally made a breakthrough in the case.

Shortly after 5 p.m., they found the remains of a human body secreted inside a wall in the building.

Police have not yet positively identified the body as Annie Le, but they&#8217;re &#8220;assuming&#8221; it is her, Reichard said. Police have ruled the case a homicide.

Now that the case has been classified a homicide, it has been transferred to the jurisdiction of the New Haven police. Reichard presided at the press conference in the absence of Chief James Lewis, who has been in Wisconsin for the weekend but has kept up with developments by the half hour. Officials from the FBI and state police also appeared at the press conference. Yale officials are planning a separate press conference later tonight.

New Haven police will work alongside the state&#8217;s attorney and state police to crack the case. They did not release further details Sunday, citing a pending investigation.

The case was a mystery from the start.

New Haven Police found a body hidden in a wall at 10 Amistad Street shortly after 5 p.m. Sunday.

Police said at a Sunday evening press conference that they have not confirmed that the body is that of missing Yale University student Annie Le, but they presume it is her.

It is considered to be a homicide investigation, and the New Haven Police is now the lead agency in that investigation.

Le swiped her identification card to enter the building that morning, but there was no record of her leaving, despite some 75 surveillance cameras that cover the complex. Investigators pored over blueprints and surveillance video footage while searching for her.

New Haven police announced Sunday that human remains, tentatively identified as belonging to missing graduate student Annie Le, have been found inside a wall in a school laboratory.

More than 100 law enforcement agents have been searching for Le since Tuesday.

Le, a graduate student at the Yale School of Medicine, was last seen entering a campus building on surveillance camera.

Police said they believe Le left the Sterling Hall of Medicine where she had an office before 10 a.m. Tuesday. They said there are records of her swiping her card to get into a lab on Amistad Street, where she was captured by some of the more than 70 area surveillance cameras. They said she hasn't been seen or heard from since.

University police said Le's purse, containing her cell phone, credit cards and money, was left in her office.

She was scheduled to be married on Sunday.

Without any astrology, I did predict last night that they would find her in the ceiling: [ame="http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4151817#post4151817"]CT- Annie Le, missing from Yale, thread #2 - Page 2 - Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community[/ame]

It just seemed obvious given the NYC woman who went missing when cameras saw her go in, but none saw her come out. It took them 4 days to find that lady.
