<snipped>
Key clues that led police to solve the murder of a Yale grad student included a green ink pen, a pair of boots, and a bloody sock. And a suspicious encounter with Raymond Clark involving a bloody box of &#8220;Wipe-Alls.&#8221;

The hunt for clues that led to the arrest of the alleged killer of Annie Le is detailed in a 13-page arrest warrant affidavit released to the public Friday morning after a two-month delay.

Pages Of Documents Released In Annie Le Case
POSTED: 9:15 am EST November 13, 2009
UPDATED: 11:46 am EST November 13, 2009
<snipped>
Police looked at the sign-in schedule task sheets from Sept. 8. They said someone signed in with a green ink pen at 1:30 p.m., and then later the same person's initials were in black ink at 3:48. They said the green ink pen found under Le's body had Clark's DNA on the pen cap and a portion of the pen.

On Sept. 13, investigators inspecting a locker room in the Amistad Street building&#8217;s lower level said they smelled the odor of a body. Canine units found Le&#8217;s body behind the wall, which is behind a toilet, the documents read. Clark is accused of removing insulation to make room for Le&#8217;s body. According to the documents, Le was wearing surgical gloves with her left thumb exposed.

Police Say Suspect in Yale Murder Hid Bloody Tissues
Published: November 13, 2009
<snipped>
Two days later, after Ms. Le had been reported missing and the Yale police were working their way through the lab inch by inch, Mr. Clark went in and out of the room several times, the affidavit said. The document describes a moment when he went over to a cart, apparently trying to block an officer&#8217;s view. The affidavit said he moved a box of wipes &#8220;so that the blood spatter was facing to the right-hand side of the cart, away from plain sight.&#8221;

&#8220;He then leaned up against the cart and made small talk&#8221; with the officer, the affidavit said.

Police Warrant: DNA Evidence Links Suspect to Annie Le Killing
Posted: Friday, 13 November 2009 9:12AM
<snipped>
A white ankle sock which matched one found on the victim, contained a blood stain. DNA tests on the blood matched both Clark and Le.

The sock was found hidden in a drop ceiling, along with a pair of blood-stained work boots with Ray-C written on the back of the boot.

Police also read through sign-in sheets at some of the lab rooms. On the day of the killing, Clark used a green pen. A green pen was found with Le's body. Tests found DNA from both the victim, and her alleged attacker on the pen.

Bloody clothes led to Clark arrest
Parts of search, arrest warrant released today
Published Friday, November 13, 2009
<snipped>
The DNA evidence, previously thought to be the basis for the arrest, was in fact incomplete at the time; lab testing was still ongoing as of Sept. 17.

Instead, police relied on the found clothing and blood stains, as well as a flurry of keycard swipes by Clark around the time when Le went missing and near where her body was found, in a wall behind a toilet in the basement.

Check back for more updates.

Yale Murder Suspect Hid Blood Splatter, Document Says (Update2)
Nov. 13 2009
<snipped>
A Yale police officer observed Clark in the lab acting suspiciously by turning over a box of wipes to conceal the splatter, according to the document sworn to by New Haven Detective Scott Branfuhr and unsealed today. The box was in the last room Le logged into with her keycard. The blood splatter matched her DNA.

In addition, the arrest warrant also details Clark's movements in the Yale building the day Le disappeared, presumably the day of her murder. Employees must use a key card to gain access to rooms, and police noted that Clark's use significantly increased the day of Le's disappearance.

Affidavit: Green Pen, Bloody Sock Had DNA From Le And Clark
9:52 a.m. EST, November 13, 2009
<snipped>
Investigators found blood spatters and stains on evidence in a number of rooms in the basement, the affidavit states.

Le was wearing surgical gloves, and her left thumb was exposed. Inside the wall space, police found a green ink pen, a stained lab coat and a sock. The sock is similar to a bloody sock that was found behind a ceiling tile nearby, the warrant states. On the pen, investigators found a blood stain that contained Le's DNA, and they found Clark's DNA on the pen cap, the warrant states.

He is due back in court Dec. 21.

An arrest warrant application affidavit released Friday details the investigation and movements of Raymond Clark III, accused of murdering Yale graduate student Annie Le, during the days after she disappeared on Sept. 8.

Cops Watched Ray Clark Scrub Floor Drain at Yale Murder Scene
Evidence of Violent Struggle Between Annie Le and Her Killer
Nov. 13, 2009
<snipped>
In room G13 where Le was killed, there was a "possible medium velocity blood-like spray pattern on the wall," it states. Blood was found on a sock, a lab coat, rubber gloves and medical scrubs. When Le's body was found, she was wearing rubber gloves that she used while working in the lab, but the thumb on one glove was exposed. Her alleged attacker, Clark, had a scratch on his face and one on his left bicep.

In addition, when her body was discovered, much of the hidden area was smeared with blood-like stains, the warrant states. Details about the state of Le's body are redacted in the warrant.

The arrest warrant also notes that in the week before Le's disappearance, security key cards indicated that Clark has suddenly developed an interest in the rooms where Le worked, entering room G13 and G22 as often as 11 times a day. Previously, Clark entered those rooms only three times a day, the report states.

Yale suspect's floor scrubbing raised suspicions
November 13, 2009
<snipped>
Le entered her lab, known as G13, at 10:11 a.m. Sept. 8. Clark's card shows he accessed the victim's lab at about 10:40 a.m. and again at 11:04 a.m. and no other locations for 46 minutes.

Clark's key card was the only one used to access a room where blood was found after Le entered the building, according to the affidavit.

"Clark's movements after this entry are considered uncharacteristic for his normal movements throughout his work day," the affidavit states.

He used his key card to gain entry into the room where Le worked and another room 55 times from 10:40 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. the day Le disappeared, according to the affidavit.

INSIDE STORY: Critical Clues in Case of the Murdered Yale Student
Originally posted Friday November 13, 2009 01:15 PM EST
<snipped>
On Sept. 10, two days after Le went missing days before her wedding, Rachel Roth, a graduate student she had worked with, approached Yale Police Officer Sabrina Wood and showed her a box of sanitary wipes that appeared to have a blood spatter on it, according to arrest warrant affidavits.

Wood told police she had found the box on a steel push cart outside the room Le was last known to have entered. Meanwhile Clark, not yet a suspect, entered and exited the room several times, and at one point stopped and looked at the box of Wipe Alls. Subsequent DNA tests determined the blood on the box was Le's, according to the documents.

On Sept. 15, police obtained a search and seizure warrant to collect mouth swabs, body hair, fingerprints and fingernail clippings from Clark. DNA tests showed that stains on the sock had a mixture of Le&#8217;s and Clark&#8217;s DNA, while the pen
contained Le&#8217;s blood but Clark&#8217;s DNA inside the pen cap and on the barrel. Over the next few days, more hair fibers and blood stains turned up in various lab rooms.

Judge extends sealing of warrants in Yale killing
Tuesday, November 17, 2009 6:15 PM EST
<snipped>
A Connecticut judge has agreed to keep sealed for another two weeks search warrant affidavits in the case of an animal research technician charged with killing a Yale graduate student.

New Haven Superior Court Judge Roland Fasano granted a request by prosecutors Tuesday to keep the documents sealed until Dec. 1. Fasano last week unsealed the arrest affidavit in the case.

Eight affidavits remain sealed two more weeks in Annie Le slaying case
Wednesday, November 18, 2009
<snipped>
Supervisory Assistant State&#8217;s Attorney John Waddock, the co-prosecutor in the case, declined to comment Tuesday.

But Public Defender Joseph E. Lopez, who is defending Clark, said of the ruling, &#8220;Yes, this pleases me.&#8221;

Lopez noted, &#8220;We&#8217;ve been trying to keep these warrants sealed from the beginning.&#8221; He said he has not joined prosecutors in their ongoing sealing motions because the state statute is specifically intended for authorities who argue that releasing affidavits during an ongoing investigation could adversely affect their case.

Asked if the two-week sealing orders might continue, Lopez said he wasn&#8217;t sure.
