CT- Annie Le, missing from Yale, thread #4 FOUND DECEASED

[Chanler]

If they knew each other they could have talked by phone that day and there would be that record.

Hi, Chi Fries, to me, "may have known each other" is the most equivocal of all such statements. In absence of something stronger, I'm leaning towards believing that the connection is either very tenuous or unknown.

Not a "random act" and "no one else in danger" makes me think fiance.

Just my thoughts....

He was at Columbia University in NY where he is a graduate student and is not a suspect.

Realize how many frames they had to view of those films.

This is true! Now that I think about it, LE could have put off looking at the videos for quite awhile, as they didn't thoroughly search the lab because they still thought she could be a runaway.

 

[Chanler]

Yeah, I doubt it was on film. More likely they knew what the perp was wearing due to the cameras and then of course they find the perps bloody clothes. They also have record of a small number of people with access to the basement. Combine that with defensive wounds and you have a suspect within 24 hours of finding the bloody clothes and a body.

The ABC News link seems to indicate some forensics about the bloody clothes:

The suspect who police are looking at has what appear to be defensive wounds, a key piece of circumstantial evidence. In addition, the suspect, who authorities believe knew Le, failed a lie detector test, sources told ABC News. Sources also told ABC News that bloody clothing removed from the lab contained evidence that links the killer to the crime.

ITA BB! You know, I am amazed they found her as quickly as they did... I mean 75 cameras worth of video to go thru to see if she even left the building! That is just a huge amt of work... and than to be in a building with all animal and most likely even some human tissue... and then to find her in a wall and bloody clothes in a ceiling... it is just "beyond belief" :blowkiss:

I agree - LE did a great job. They say the building is about 135,000 sq. feet. I'm sure the human tissue caused confusion in the dogs. Can't even imagine looking at all the ceilings, floors, labs, videos etc. Huge time consuming task.

The hunt for Annie Le's murderer is reportedly focusing on a suspect who flunked lie detector tests and has defensive wounds on his body.

New Haven police knocked down earlier reports that the suspect is also a student, saying there are "no students involved in this case."

Ok so I just typed a quote that this person is a he and is not a student? so any ideas if it wasn't a random act or a student?

You're taking that "his" as confirmation that it's a male? I mean I think it's most likely a guy...but....

 

[heartfortruth]

TY for the info! I admit, I know very little about college security. Back in my day, they had none!

Mine either! and nothing ever happened my whole 4 years! I was on 2 different campuses / cities and at times visited places ALONE .......public health visits into unfamiliar neighborhoods......and was never afraid........WHAT has happened????
It's so sad......our children cannot know that freedom. Poor Annie, she probably thought she was "Locked up tight" from any harm..........:cry:

 

[sniperacer]

News saying no one in danger. I believe since someone is in custody that they are simply waiting for something before they file charges.
There's a good possibility they have the attack on film.

Waiting for the media and us to go crazy. They are doing a good job.

Pass the salt please ....

 

[terrah24]

I hate to even say it because it's un imaginable but they have said it's not a student, they have said it's not the fiance, so im thinking a maintenance worker, construction worker because they have been remodeling the building, a professor, or even worse one of the parents. They have said repeaditly it's not the fiance but never once said anything about the rest of the family. That's a scary thought

 

[Chanler]

You're not alone

Hi, Shutterfly, I don't think that the fiance was even in the state. I think that LE ruled him out very early. And, by all indications, these lifelong friends were totally devoted to one another.

At this rate I'm going to start washing my salt down with white russians....and I don't drink!

I am sure they have forensics but they wouldn't have had the time to process DNA yet. More than likely they found the perps clothes and looked at the videotape, identified the perp, and then saw the defensive wounds. That is circumstancial enough. The forensics probably won't be back for another week or two.

maybe not but they didn't said "their" body so I was thinking it was a guy

I hear you dude! I had to switch to sea salt today! The sodium was just too much! If this goes on any longer I will have to resort to missus dash!

This is a crime blog and we all speculate a great deal....I also think it's male. I find it hard to imagine a woman shoving clothes in a ceiling and a body behind a wall (chase or whatever it's called). Guess that's one of my stereotypes.

I realize that, but you have to understand, they've got me so freaked out by all of the conflicting reports, right now I'd be easily convinced it was Spongebob.

Welcome to Websleuths Terrah.

You have a good point, especially considering how we haven't heard ANYTHING from the family, however, I think if it were a family member they wouldn't have came to her place of employment/her school to kill her IN her lab building. It seems to me they would've waited to do that when she came to Long Island for the weekend, if that were truly their plans.

Hi, Chi Fries, to me, "may have known each other" is the most equivocal of all such statements. In absence of something stronger, I'm leaning towards believing that the connection is either very tenuous or unknown.

Good point, someone posted earlier in one of these threads about a creep she had known 10 years earlier and who showed up out of the blue at her work one day expressing his obsession for her.

I also thought of the shooting of Johanna Justin-Jinich, the Weslyan student who got shot by a guy she had barely known for a short time two years earlier. The difference with Annie is that he had contacted her and threatened her in the interim and there's nothing to suggest Annie knew she may have been stalked.
