Police Focus on Suspects in Yale Death

September 15, 2009 05:10 PM ET | Jessica Calefati | Permanent Link | Print

Authorities investigating the murder of Yale University graduate student Annie Le are focusing their efforts on several suspects, including a laboratory technician who had access to the research facility basement where Le's corpse was found stuffed behind a wall, the Yale Daily News and other newspapers report.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Connecticut confirmed Le's identity Sunday evening but has not yet released her cause of death. The Associated Press reported that the medical examiner would announce the cause of death sometime after 3 p.m. today. Last night, more than 2,000 students gathered on Yale's Cross Campus for a candlelight vigil in Le's honor. We will continue updating you on this story as more details become available.

Yale Death

What's the story with the Professor? Is it true he was a womanizer who cancelled classes abruptly? There are postings about his shady past and misappropriation of funds?

Anyone can walk into a swipe card building. Happens all the time.

Did police get that "Ruaway Bride" idea from a news story? And therefore DID NOT search the building or seal it off even though she never left the building? Which media outlet started that story?

Lots of unanswered questions..
