It also appears in the photo that the person holding the door is wearing plastic gloves.

I agree, this story isn't being covered well. Was she even reported missing in 24 hours, and if so, why wasn't their a massive man hunt then? There are SO many important aspects to this case 1. the fire alarm 2. the canceled class. Get prints from the fire alarm and go from there, get prints from everyone in that school! Another thing, what about the story she wrote ? WHO DID IT AFFECT? Did it make anyone loose their jobs, was anyone extremely mad over it? Really well researched and well written stories can do that! Something really weird is going on here (I.E Yale is covering their but), even my own school hasn't sent out a "watch your back" email, and they do it all the time with not so serious stuff. This is serious, this is sad, and we need to be taking it as such.

4-11, 80 lbs? My dog weighs more than that! This reads like an abduction by someone who had access (janitor?)w/o the screening. She could have left in a box.

You made some good points about the investigation. In the photo you mentioned, it looks like someone is holding the door for her so then how did her card get swiped? The reports said that she swiped her i.d.card to get in the building.

Another point, did anyone catch the video of her friend talking about Annie's fiance? Sounded like she had a thing for him too.

I am amazed at the lack of investigative reporting for this case. Authorities in New Haven and Yale in particular seem more concerned with their image than finding Annie, imo. They initially released a grainy photo of only Annie claiming it showed her entering the research building. NOTE IT WAS NOT TIME STAMPED. And today a new photo emerged that showed not only ANNIE but someone else at the door at that research facility and the two are OUTSIDE, not inside the facility. And this other person looks to either be holding the door for Annie or blocking the door. Annie appears to have something in her arms. It looks to me to be an animal. At no time did authorities report she left her office carrying an animal from her office to the research facility. Where did she get what was in her arms? And who is that other person in that frame? And why are they only releasing single frames?

Yesterday the news claimed she entered the facility around 11 AM and now today they claim it was 10 AM. The FBI claims they are only "assisting", New Haven Police is "assisting". So the folks who are in charge is YALE police? Come on!! Anyone remember Taylor Behl? Missing people cases need to be handled by real law enforcement, not college entity! I could go on and on. COME ON NEWS AGENCIES. DO YOUR WORK! What if this was a family member of yours missing!!
