My guess is that it's probably a jilted ex-boyfriend, or a wannabe boyfriend that never was. One of those - "if I can't have you, then nobody can" types.
How tragic.

This case makes me crazy.
If they have a way to track people outside the building by camera and can track the use of 'pass badges' inside they must have known she was still inside the buidling somewhere.
They would have noticed anyone moving a large bundle out of the area via tape/camera if the killer had tried to move the body out of the building.
If she had been dumped into a trash bin, someone emptying the bin would/might have noticed a large bundle in a bin.
The top she was wearing was GREEN - an easy color to spot on the tapes.
I just have some questions about how and why it took the cops that long to find her, especially with dogs in the building.
Ugh,
What a mess.
Between the 'media leaks' and the stupid chancellor/head of the school?
This is a perfect example of everyone stepping over each other to 'get the story straight'.
Unfortunately, the media reports started out with the runaway bride scenario-she was categorized as missing person, a woman who was going to get married and got cold feet. Because she left her personal belongings behind, it took a more sinister turn.
Then a video tape examination shows her enter a building and never coming out.
---------------------
The campus police were the first to look into the disappearance, then local cops and the feds show up.
The CP or any 'private police force' are always at odds with the local constabulary, it's the nature of the beast. The smaller private force wants to prove that they are capable of providing a secure atmosphere and the regular cops look down on anyone except their own.
Then you have the overzealous school officials who make statements that are do not help the situation.
School officials panic because they don't want the negative publicity for the institution. They go overboard defending their charges/students and fear the bad press that comes with any incident.
I heard a report that the cops were going to hold two-a-day press conferences to keep the speculation and the statements by school officials to a minimum.
There is going to be a backlash in this case against the school.
While there is no way to have predicted this tragedy, the resulting media circus around this case is predictable far from over.:(
That lab tech has been arrested.
Link
According to the media, the suspect was NOT a lab tech, but more of a janitor, cleaning out the animal cages, etc. They have him on 24 hours surveillance and got search warrants for both his car and his apartment. The bloody clothes found in the ceiling was sent out for DNA. They suspect that it belongs to the killer.
Stay tuned.
There is word going around that this lady was NOT nice to the lab animals. The cages were filthy, little or no food and water. The suspect, a janitor (they arrested him yesterday) was also an animal lover and advocate who went ballistic on her for mistreating the animals.
There are only two people who know the truth. One is dead.
And one shouldn't be dead - even if she wasn't nice to the lab animals.Quote:

Instead, it seems he killed her, he'll go to jail, and the animals will likely be treated the same as ever.Quote:

Wow.
There is more to this story than we know at the moment.
Yep,
Stay tuned.
So what did she have to say about this case?Quote:

Some thought Mr. Clark went beyond the bounds of his position. A research team leader in the Amistad building, where Ms. Le’s body was found, said that several of his researchers complained last year that Mr. Clark was rude to them, prompting the team leader to alert Mr. Clark’s supervisor.
“He would berate them for minor infractions,” said the man, who requested anonymity. “Everyone enforces rules, but he enforced them in an officious manner.”
Nancy was her usual obnoxious self...She was trying to connect every little second had story about this guy to the crime. Why, what, how and when....Quote:

Some people tend to look down at people who do the dirty work at the workplace...there are people who are 'educated/have degrees' that do not walk on the surface of the planet and have no problem reminding people that they possess a degree-too bad it does not come with common sense and manners.
No, I am not making excuses for this nitwit, but I am very cautious when it comes to the sensationalization of crime cases.
Case in point?
The recent "group rape" of a woman which turned out to be a lie. The woman consented to the acts and then later blamed the men of assaulting her.
Good old Nancy G went ballistic and convicted the Duke lacrosse players of also gang raping a woman and being everything - except innocent before being proved guilty. We all know that also was a false accusation leveled at those poor schmuck-who really should have known better!
After that case fell apart for the prosecutors NG dropped the story and never made a public apology for slamming them. This case sounds like a 'slam dunk', but until the evidence shows the guy killed Le, I am not going to believe anything.:(
Le's body was flow back her to Cuh lee fuh nee ah for her burial.
I heard on one of the TV shows that her bones were broken to make her fit into the hiding area where she was found.:rolleyes::mad::(
I cannot imagine what this moron was thinking when he killed her.
Fricking moron.
Regardless of how he was treated, it was no excuse for what he did, anymore than the kids who go ballistic and murder fellow classmates.
Richard - I know you're not defending him, so don't take my statement wrong.
Plenty of workers and students put up with a lot of crap in the workplace and in school, but don't take their frustrations to the extreme. I often wonder why they don't report it, or just walk away from the situations. Why do they snap - what do they think it's going to achieve??? I'll never understand.........:mad:
I was on a ship, so heard a lot of this on CNN only...but I seem to recall that it was Clark's job to clean and maintain the mice cages etc...
Other glimmers...that his GF had been abused, and that he was a bit of a control freak.
A psychiatrist on CNN said that psychopaths know they are different, so they do their best to behave like everyone else...therefore, his buddies and others are stunned that their pal could ever do such a thing.
I bet his GF is less surprised.
Again, all this is just bits of stuff that leaked from the news reporting...who knows what really happened? Like, WHY????:mad::(
RIP Annie Le.
He will probably not get a murder in the first degree, since it was not premeditated. At least I don't think it was. Does Conn. have the death penalty? I think they do.
I suspect he is not the brightest bulb in bunch, since he left so much DNA around the scene. Why he thought he could stuff the body in a wall, and not have it found, is beyond me.
I also think they (the appropriate authorities) will give him a life sentence for his crime.
I feel so very sorry for the victim's family. They will never get over it. How can they sleep at night, wondering how scared the poor girl was, spending her last moments on this earth, getting suffocated by a co-worker.
I saw an interview with a former worker of the same lab and although he did not work with the little creep, he described the duties and the rules they were to uphold, when maintaining the animals and cages. If they didn't follow the rules, many of the experiments would not be valid. According to this guy, it was common for the lab techs to be at odds with the white coats/students.
Horrible, just horrible. He is such damaged goods. He should be put away.
