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

[aaiimmss]

I've read that there were 75 cameras at the building...does anyone know if they were outside AND inside?
Also for the card swiping...did the students/teachers/etc only swipe at the main door?
Just curious if the basement where she was working had a card swipe at the door...wouldn't that be easy to narrow down the suspects IF the suspect swiped too.
Just my thoughts.

NEW HAVEN — Detectives have strong leads in the slaying of Yale graduate student Annie Le and interest is focused on a lab technician who works in the building where the body was found Sunday, multiple police sources confirmed Monday.

The Yale employee has been under the law enforcement microscope since before Annie Le's body was found Sunday in a mechanical chase in the basement of the 120,000 square foot building.

He had scratches on his chest, as if he were in some type of a struggle, which drew police attention, the sources confirmed

This is revelatory. Thanks, Puffster. The Lab Technician position would help explain the assurance that it wasn't a student and the fact that he's lawyered up indicates that he's probably under some sort of surveillance and now has good reason not to make it worse by fleeing New Haven.

The source told CBS News’ correspondent Randall Pinkston that the suspect has failed at least one polygraph lie detector test and possibly more. The suspect has not been formally charged, but is not at large.

The victim, 24-year-old Le, and the suspect may have known each other, says the source

Randall Pinkston CBS NEWS -- excellent reporter. I would take this to the bank (as much as we can take anything to the bank). I was saying...wait til the big guns get up there to get real news.

Quick question: I'm wondering how long, and I know each state has their own governing laws, but how long can the police detain a person before they either formally charge them with an offense or let them go under surveillance but yet keep them in their radar? Is it 48 hours? Could this be why certain law enforcement are stating they don't have anyone in "custody"? Also, we all know how they play on words. I wouldn't think Yale police would have jurisdiction over this case now that it's turned homicide. Was it the Yale police that said they don't have any student (s) in custody? Or was it the New Haven police? One last thing, since the FBI is involved, would the FBI be the entity to charge the suspect (s) or would it be the New Haven police department? Or am I wrong altogether and it would be the Connecticut State police? The reason I'm asking is b/c this could explain the runabout wording, if in fact they do have somebody in mind...which I happen to believe they do...I also believe this person isn't out of their sight and is probably with them right now until they're formally charged.

Can someone pleeez pleeez send me the list of people that was posted earlier? thanks.

Looking at individuals on the "team".
2 other grad students, one male, one female

a look at the male- F.M.

1. Wasn't mentioned in the Yale Newsletter as a fellowship recipient
2. Stiff competition to get ahead among those even working closely together
3. Possible attraction to Annie, as mentioned by a previous poster describing the incestuous nature of lab relationships
4. No interest returned by Annie, perhaps he didn't even let on to her how he felt
5. Likely Muslim, as suggested by : http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/university-news/2007/04/10/scholar-talks-equality/
6. She was to marry a Jewish man and had been studying Hebrew. Muslim and Jewish have a historically long-standing conflict
7. She was talking alot about the wedding, which may have sent him over the edge

If it was a crime of passion...LOVE/HATE, it would make sense that someone closest to her, and if they couldn't identify her by looking at her ie: too disfigured or whatever, it would also suggest it was personal.

Of course, just looking at motives and possibles. He may be completely innocent.

Would make sense that some news agencies would mistake a lab technician for being a student. Also explains how the person had access not only to the building, but also to the lab areas requiring special ID card access.

Yes, it makes sense, as some lab techs are part time students, others are full time in the lab, so they would then be an employee/staff member. Many are quite possibly former students at Yale, also.

FBI is out of it...all NH police. Generally 24 hours...but you better not have a traffic ticket...cause they can hold you for that. But that's for the typical...if they know they have the guy in this case they're just going to hold him...it would never be enuf to overturn a conviction or anything like that.

Can someone pleeez pleeez send me the list of people that was posted earlier? thanks.

you posted the same time i was about to post the same thing. i';m looking as we speak.

if the lab tech isn't on the list, i wonder if the tech's name would be public b/c yale does accept public funding...doesn't that allow for employees/contractors to be public? Or am I wrong? I'm looking now...

Can someone pleeez pleeez send me the list of people that was posted earlier? thanks.

There was one lab technician on Annie's team of eight.

Defensive wounds on his chest. The damn probably raped her, then. Well, the cops must've had some good video evidence to suspect him to ask him to take his shirt off. I'm surprised he complied.

I hope she wasn't sexually assaulted....

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?

Just because they are saying now it is not a student means nothing. Remember the FBI lady Mertz catagorically denied that a body was found inside the building 24 hours before her body was found inside of the building.

I feel sick. Maybe we guessed right from the beginning. I hope I'm wrong! We need the list. Has anyone found it yet? If so, just 1st initials please...or a link to the original will suffice...just in case they are all innocent...please...

shoot, I have to go help my son get gas...will be back in a few...pls somebody look for the list/link...

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.

Have you ever read the Sandra Cantu case? It will knock your socks off as to what a woman is capable of doing.

You think he had a choice? I want LE to jack him up! Well I guess legally.

Many lab technician jobs are paid positions. May include a place for an interested person to do some of their own research - it may not. some include benefits, some not. Guess it all depends.

I doubt it's a Muslim. In fact, I would sooner suspect a Jew. I have Jewish ancestry and have been told by a few Jews that I'm "exterminating the Jewish race" and am a "traitor to my people" for dating Asian women. That being said, I doubt it's a Muslim or a Jew who committed this crime.

I've read that there were 75 cameras at the building...does anyone know if they were outside AND inside?

Heard on CNN, 70 cameras outside; 5 cameras inside

 

[raeann]

Please, just keep any names to an initial at most......even if it is a lab tech....it could have been ANY lab tech. It doesn't mean that it was the tech in HER lab/s!

Exactly, it could be a play on words or it could be whom it's coming from...for instance, Yale police would say they don't have a student in custody b/c it could be the New Haven police that actually do...again, just brainstorming at examples...
