They found a body in New Haven

[moosmom]

Oh yeah, they had dogs on it as well as the Feds (FBI). It's looking more like an inside job. No one saw her leave, even with thousands of surveillance cameras throughout the campus. There's alot more to this story than they're saying right now. Bloody clothes were found and they're testing them to see if it belonged to the killer. They're saying that it's not a random killing. No suspect as of yet.

I heard on the news that there is another student who is a person-of-interest. This student has defensive marks, and reportedly failed a polygraph test. The police are saying this was not a random crime.

Maybe those bloody clothes that were found elsewhere, were the clothes the killer was wearing?

[pomtzu]

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.

[moosmom]

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.

This, if true, is so senseless and tragic. Think how much more effective it would have been for him to give the animals food and water, and report her to her superiors ... so that she and others could change their behavior. Instead, it seems he killed her, he'll go to jail, and the animals will likely be treated the same as ever.

Devil's advocate?

I have tuned into Nutsy Grace to hear her spin on the case.

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?

I read over on Yahoo news that this guy was a sort of control freak - an unpleasant stickler for the rules who often clashed with researchers and considered the mice cages his personal fiefdom.

From the NY Times -

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.”

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.

[RICHARD]

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.

[moosmom]

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.
