Cops descend on home of Yale lab technician eyed in murder of student Annie Le
Updated Tuesday, September 15th 2009, 3:00 PM
<snipped>
A swarm of cops has descended on the home of a Yale animal research technician who worked with murdered grad student Annie Le.

Public records show the lab tech lives in a first-floor apartment at the complex in Middletown, about 20 miles from the Yale, The Associated Press reports.

Police parked outside the Wharfside Commons apartment complex would not confirm they were there to investigate the Le killing. A man answering the door there said the lab tech wasn't at home and closed the door.

Cops say the tech is not in custody.

Police zeroed in on the man several days ago, after he failed lie detector tests and had scratches on his chest that suggest he was in a struggle.

No Autopsy Today; Officials Gathering Near Middletown Apartment
3:47 p.m. EDT, September 15, 2009
<snipped>
But authorities are keeping watch on some of Le's co-workers and have gathered at an apartment complex in Middletown that may be the residence of a Yale animal research technician.

An official parked outside the Wharfside Commons apartment complex, asked whether he was there as part of the Le case, said only "I can't confirm or deny that rumor."

A man at the apartment Tuesday did not open the door but said he didn't know the man in question.

Neighbors said authorities in a gray SUV arrived Monday afternoon and frequently follow and pull over drivers in the complex. A woman who works inside the leasing office at the apartment complex said she had been instructed not to talk.

Thanks for the new thread Christine.

During this pause I have been trying to figure out why the ME releasing a COD would impede the ongoing investigation.

Realizing last night it was intimated the test results coming back before 3 this afternoon is probably why they set the ME's results to be given at that hour. That duck would be in the row so to speak.

Yesterday on NG I heard De Lee say the DNA results could take a couple of days. That fits with this afternoon, right?

So IMO this delay has to do with some detail regarding how she was killed, in what manner, with what tool or equipment, etc. It could be something very simple that is much more complicated legally that LE needs to resolve, maybe even with the prosecutor's advice.

As an example, I am thinking that since we read right away the steam setting off an alarm was done on purpose by someone, and this is relative to her death in some way, it could be the lack of his fingerprint on that nob that is an issue.

Any ideas? xox

With regards to dealing with evidence in court, 5 days for a body to lie hidden in a work environment is a complicated thing for a District Attorney to work out for the jury. It's definitely something a proficient DA can address effectively, but a significant gap of time does not help any case.

Thanks, I posted that because the name that matched the 1985 birthdate with the speeding violation was thanked in several published papers (along with 2-3 other techs) for invaluable assistance. Obviously an animal tech who cleans cages, etc would not be mentioned. But an "Animal Technician" IV or V might be acknowledged. Are we assuming that suspect is an Animal Technician I, or could he possibly be a higher level?
Thanks


I have never seen an animal room tech at any level thanked in a research paper- they're just not that involved in a single lab's work.

What that tells me is that he is most likely a high level research tech in the lab that published the papers. It's often a way of acknowledging the person who actually performed the experiments discussed in the paper without listing them as an author.

That's why I was uncomfortable with linking to his photo- I don't think that's the same guy listed as an animal tech. Labs don't invite animal techs in for photos- the two groups are generally pretty separate. IME

We don't know for sure what level/kind of tech the suspect is, but we have speculated from media tidbits (which may be all wrong) that it's an animal tech working in the Amistad facility. An animal tech stationed in one facility would tend to be a lower level tech. The higher level techs have expanded duties and are more likely to work in several facilities, in my experience.

From this article:

At a meeting of medical school students and teachers Monday, Yale president Richard Levin said police have narrowed the number of potential suspects to a very small pool because building security systems recorded who entered the building and what times they entered, the Yale Daily News reported Tuesday. He said the appropriate people are being monitored, the newspaper said.

no they don't. they are pulling an ap wire which they atrribute thus:
"Public records show the lab tech lives in a first-floor apartment at the complex in Middletown, about 20 miles from the Yale, The Associated Press reports."

So someone at AP knows . Why not give the name? because they undoubtably have several thresholds of clear and authoritative official sourcing before they tag someone as a murder suspect. Think "Richard Jewell" Those thresholds were probably not reached when the story was filed. It is less egregious an error to publish police activity at a residence than a actual name.,

Hi Scandi!

It was reported that the alarm was automatically triggered- not the kind you pull. Then it was reported later that they believed the alarm had nothing to do with Annie.

An interesting insight from the Yale Daily News comments:


The hallway showed in the picture is not at all a "high security" zone of the basement. It is basically the trash pickup area. Maybe the reporters wanted to show the "gloomiest" zone, and it is. The other areas, coming from the elevator, look nicer with the vending machines and access to the stairwell and outside (emergency exit). Also are the receiving dock and sorting area, the mail room, and other storage for heavy cleaning equipment. This hallway can be accessed directly from outside by swiping an ID (and a smile to the camera), or from inside the building through the elevators (after passing the camera and security desk, not gestapo) as most do. Many people have legitimate reasons to go in and out teh buiding without a background check. All that extra security was set up because of the politicized threats against the Stem Cell Center at that time.
It is unreasonable to ask for more security and personal body guards while at work, and since it seems that the criminal is a fully legitimate employee gone nuts, lack of security is not the issue here.
The police and FBI have methodically done everything they could considering the information they had at the time. Their dogs sniffed every inch of the building, and we moved boxes or small furniture to give access to hidden corners. They opened/removed any visible panel on walls and ceilings. It was very thorough. The place is full of sophisticated equipment and there is plenty of double walls to hide all the "guts and behinds" of electronic control panels and other venting apparatus so it looks nice and tidy. Who want to see the back of an autoclave?
I suppose that only after they were sure there was no gap in the security system, did they focus on an in-house criminal and looked at the blue prints to locate hidden cavities, most unknown even by those who work there. Why not blame the architects next?
Only a camera within the facility could have helped to find Annie sooner by tracking her steps further along, but it may not have been enough to prevent the crime. As Pres. Levin said, "you can't stop evil", and evil it was. One person's mind snapped and all the security in the world can't change that. I feel so sorry for Annie, her fiance, their families and friends. And I hope I never met the person who did it...

To continue my post from the other thread. There has also been a report that the suspect lives at the Wharfside Commons. I used the neighbor search at whitepages.com and at 411.com to find all the even numbered listings on Ferry St between the 30 and 90 block. I then checked the males listed against the CT Courts database and didn't find any matches with the suspect's traffic violation.

The Wharfside Commons is a huge building and looks like it has a sister complex on the same side of the street and the neighbor search didn't provide nearly enough names to fill them so there are surely some names that didn't show up. If someone else has an idea about how to get all the names for the apt complexes I would be interested. Wharfside Commons is listed at 60 Ferry St Middletown CT.

A Connecticut official says New Haven police have identified a "person of interest" in the death of a Yale University graduate student.

The state official has firsthand knowledge of the police investigation in the death of 24-year-old Annie Le.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation in Le's killing is ongoing.

A New Haven police spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Lab tech 'suspect in bride-to-be killing'
<snipped>
An infatuated laboratory technician has reportedly emerged as the chief suspect in the US slaying of a doctoral student at an Ivy League university.

The Yale technician conducted animal testing at the building where Annie Le's body was found stuffed into a wall duct on Sunday, the New Haven Register reports.

The technician also failed a FBI lie detector test before refusing to answer further police questions, the report said.

The man was said to have an "unrequited love interest" in the 24-year-old bride-to-be, who was to be married to her long-time sweetheart at the weekend.

Those people were being closely monitored as the investigation continued, he said.

Police have said that no students are being considered suspects.

That's a great find, postdoc. I saw that photo earlier today and thought it looked like the loading dock. That's probably as close as they could get. I have yet to work in an animal facility that allows any one in to take photos.

It does surprise me that there are no cameras in the hallways of the animal facility, though.

Hi there scandi...just my take...The cause of death may involve a crucial or very particular fact that only the perp would know. Maybe they are waiting for DNA. No arrest - would indicate to me there has been no confession and perhaps not enough info to make an airtight case...yet. The DA has to prove this case to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt and not a one of us would want it to be any other way. A question - where did you get the info that the steam that set off an alarm was done on purpose? TIA

Several points that need attention...
1)- Why was the case "treated" by police as a homicide? When it is clear cut Murder- the evidence found screams murder - not manslaughter or generic homicide...
2) - When will they raise the level of the investigation to a "Murder"?
3) - If the victim had been a Senator's daughter from D.C. it would have been automatically refered to by police as a "murder" to begin with-

It's just medico-legal terminology- it means murder

Forensic autopsy

A forensic autopsy is used to determine the cause of death. Forensic science involves the application of the sciences to answer questions of interest to the legal system. In United States law, deaths are placed in one of five manners:

* Natural
* Accident
* Homicide
* Suicide
* Undetermined

The defense will have a great time with that info. Just can't believe media walked in and did as they pleased. Doesn't that mean anyone could have walked in and tampered, moved the body, etc.? Also, with Annie's history of professionalism and dedication, I'm shocked LE thought she would ran away without a word to anyone.

The FBI agent (Mertz) did not answer the question about whether the steam was released on purpose:

PRESS CONFERENCE, SEP 12
LORIMER: From the reports that I have gotten, it was a kind of fire alarm that is not the old-fashioned kind that someone might have pulled. One of the questions I had about this. It was a kind that would be automatically triggered. in this case, the underlying rationale was there was steam that came out of a piece of equipment and steam set it off, I think much in the same way we might have one of the alarm go off in our house, if you're boiling something on the kitchen stove.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: And was it an accidental stream or was it a steam that was caused by a human being?

MERTZ: I believe it was caused by a human being opening up a device that let the steam out.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: By mistake or on purpose?

This is probably irrelevant, but in the last thread (#5) there were a few members having a discussion about lab procedure in experiments with mice. I was reading the New York Times' latest article on the Le case and they actually mentioned mice twice, and because of the previous thread the mentions caught my eye:

Ms. Le, who watched experiments with laboratory mice at the lab building, had herself weighed in on the subject of campus safety less than eight months ago....

Dennis Jones, a graduate student in immunology, said he often saw her at lunchtime, walking along the block between her office and the lab building where she was apparently killed. Many times, he said, she was pushing a cart with the mice she used for experiments. He said it took three levels of security to get into the basement of the lab building, including two swipes of a security card.

The discussion in the previous thread was partly revolved around where the mice are kept and where the experiments are performed. It seems Le not only experimented with the mice but transported them between buildings herself. I wonder if the suspected animal tech is someone who had contact with her through the mice, so to speak.

yes - however at the time it was announced at a news media block "press statement" it seems rather much adue about nothing- if it is a homicide and that is the statement - Everyone with an ounce of brains already realized that earlier- My point is- it appears the police are more interested in their "appearance' than in truth- especially on the campus of the spawning ground for high profile defense attorneys who will plea mis-trial- police are forced to wear kid gloves-

I thought homicide was the death of a person by another person. It is a very general term and not specific to intent.

The FBI agent (Mertz) did not answer the question about whether the steam was released on purpose:

PRESS CONFERENCE, SEP 12


Thanks STEADFAST, Very interesting since acc to your quote from the presser Ms Mertz said: "I believe it was caused by a human being opening up a device that let the steam out'.

It must what I read and then assumed this was a purposeful act on the part of the person who opened the device. xox

Well dah- Such masterfully dictated tokens do little to solve the case-
More should be focused on the profile of the criminal-
Obviously the perp had one last chance to "get" her...he knew her prior to the act- Cold Blooded- he took the time to "hide' the evidence- methodical -he knew he would be seen by cameras- He knew the building in detail- all this seems to be totally un-mentioned by both the media & the Police- Focus on pressure on the criminal "perp" ....

I had to hurry & logon. I was watching HLN and the reporter said that Annie was hardly ever in the Amistad Building, she only went there when she had work involving animals (mice). This reporter said she was informed that Annie did most of her research at Sterling. This is completely opposite, absolutely opposite, what was reported earlier...and on various occasions, by someone that knew Annie. What would be the reason for discrepancy? I can't help but wonder if the reporter is incorrect in her reporting? Annie's work involved mice, therefore she would need to be in the Amistad building. Man, I'm really confused.

Several points that need attention...
1)- Why was the case "treated" by police as a homicide? When it is clear cut Murder- the evidence found screams murder - not manslaughter or generic homicide...
2) - When will they raise the level of the investigation to a "Murder"?
3) - If the victim had been a Senator's daughter from D.C. it would have been automatically refered to by police as a "murder" to begin with-
Pardon me for asking but I am new here and have a keen interest in this case-
Thank You - WS & all

I dont get your point? all murders are homicides but not all homicides are murders. For example, the mechanism of death, and what you find on death certs and med examiners reports on the cause of death of executed criminals is "homicide."

homicide refers to the causal force. Murder is a generic term. if it is an illegal homicide (and not all are, for example executed criminals and our own servicemen and those of our enemies legal deaths in battle are homicides) then it is a murder investigation.

but you are making a tempest in a teapot and really something that has no distinction. Police, reporters, an people here use the terms interchangeably -- don't attribute a political meaning.

I don't think the language used would be any different if it was a "Senator's daughter."

Did the police use the term manslaughter as you imply? I don't see it. So why say they did?

As far as the "evidence screaming" murder, if by that you mean first degree murder vs second degree or third degree (usually what one means by manslaughter -- the "evidence screams" no such thing.

That evidence will depend on many unknowns at this point., First degree murder demands some planning. Even of the suspect asked the victim to meet him that is not what is meant by planning. he had to be planning to kill her. We have no idea if he was lovestruck, asked her not to marry the other guy and then cracked. that isn't first degree murder. Even third degree murder (manslaugher) is also a possible for all we know.

Lab tech 'suspect in bride-to-be killing'
<snipped>
An infatuated laboratory technician has reportedly emerged as the chief suspect in the US slaying of a doctoral student at an Ivy League university.

The Yale technician conducted animal testing at the building where Annie Le's body was found stuffed into a wall duct on Sunday, the New Haven Register reports.

The technician also failed a FBI lie detector test before refusing to answer further police questions, the report said.

The man was said to have an "unrequited love interest" in the 24-year-old bride-to-be, who was to be married to her long-time sweetheart at the weekend.

Those people were being closely monitored as the investigation continued, he said.

Police have said that no students are being considered suspects.

Hi, I don't have a link and believe I read this in a comment by a poster whose NIK suggests he has worked in that bldg doing maintainence. That poster said LE had searched all the regular openings for these chases and found nothing. They suggested the body was dropped from a floor above into a chase that was accessed thru a dropped ceiling that was adjacent to that chase.

That is my interpretation of what he said so it might be a bit off. Then another poster gave a reason as to why they didn't spot the body right away because of the approach they used in getting to the chase. I didn't understand what he meant as it was way over my head and almost brought the post over. That is a no no I think, bringing a comment over as you can't get permission from that poster. If I can I will go find those posts.

A source close to Clark’s family confirmed to The Post that he was the person who failed a polygraph test administered by authorities and that he also was the one with scratches on his chest — two key points that law-enforcement sources have made about one person they are looking at.

"He did not pass the polygraph test. ... But of course, they don’t always run true anway, especially when you’re nerved up asking so many questions," the source said.

The source added that, "Of course, he had scratches on his arm — from his cat."

More from article I posted above. Hmmm...

The source said Clark, who the family calls "Ray Ray," had been working at the university building that morning along with his sister and her husband, who also are lab technicians. Clark’s girlfriend is a lab techie as well.

"But [Le] left the area before he left that morning," the source said.

"He’d seen her and said hi and kept on going. ... He really didn’t know her."

The family "is very upset," the family source added.

"I know he didn’t do it, but I can’t understand how anybody would do that in the first place and put her in the wall like that. And they would have had to do it at night because certainly nobody could have done it during the day when everybody was looking."

The source added that Clark was engaged.

"They are saving to get married," the person said.

Labrat, you should be proud of me. If this is the guy, he's been my guy since yesterday! I stuck to my guns and I was right...and so were you...the police were using the title Lab Tech loosely, hense the confusing discussion...but this is the exact same guy I was talking about! Although right now, I think it's only CBS running the story, so I'm reluctant a tiny bit, but I swear I think it's him. I think he's the suspect! and if he's really guilty...then I was right all along...I'm patting myself on my back...

Please laugh...just a tiny snicker:)

I am proud of you! I never got as far as an actual name, just the position the person would be likely to hold. How did you figure it out?

God forgive me since the poor woman was hurt, but that made me laugh. You would think the jackals would at least get the stories right if they're going to trample people to get them.

I used to be a big fan of Nancy Grace, Greta, etc. but it got to the point where I just couldn't watch anymore. The churning and churning of inaccurate information on all the different cases night after night had me so agitated! My God! Do none of them fact check?

Funny you should say this b/c the reporter I was talking about a few minutes ago (on HLN) is actually a producer on Nancy Grace...at least that's what was said.

For most people - the term homicide simply means one person caused the death of another - If I drive my car over you while you are on your bike & I do it accidentally - that is homicide- for the police to make a press announcement that they are regarding the case as a homicide - simply means that a person caused the life of Annie to end- MY POINT IS- if it had been a Boston Senator's grand daughter... The police would have automaticallyannounced to the media that they were treating the case as a MURDER... to wit- The intentional criminal act of causing death with malice of forethought- (my point) is - all the evidence makes it a murder case - i realize it is "interchangeable" - and not political - but the politically correct thing to say at an Ivy league School is to down-play the whole thing to keep everyone -especially the Yale Blue Bloods - in a proper and socially acceptable mellow mood- while average blue collar America is watching and understand the poor young woman was down right violently murdered and stuffed in a wall - like so much trash- I have sorrow for Annie - and want justice - That is my point. To stand up there and say they are regarding the case as a homicide - does not send a strong message out to the rest of the world that the N.H. police are making every attempt to collar a Murderer!
My opinion is that should have been their loud & clear statement to the media- instead they "handled' the situation with tact & grace & PPP.

Per you lady sleuthers suggestion, I watched Nancy Grace.

This lady is "way over the top". My first thought is she is trying for an Oscar academy award for drama. She was so hung up on Ms Le's wedding, I thought she was going to enact it.

Has she always been this way?

No. She was always a little "intense" but I can't watch her at all any more. She's become a caricature of herself now.

The drama started to bother me and the harping on nonsense stated as facts drove me absolutely batty, but the last straw for me, and I had previously been a huge fan, was when she interviewed Elizabeth Smart and tried to get salacious details of her ordeal, claiming it would "help" other girls. Elizabeth smacked her down with such grace and dignity! I have not watched Nancy since.

editing to add: i believed it was somebody that worked in the amistad building on a daily basis, somebody that most likely worked with animals. at that point, i thought a lab tech shared duties with an animal research tech, but i was confusing them. i do think some of their duties overlap. i do think if this is the perp, that he did some of the things that may not really have been expected of him in his duties. it was throwing us all off b/c i kept being up animal or rodent services. we kept trying to get to the bottom of exactly what a lab tech does, etc. i'm still confuzzled, he may not be the person, then again if he is, i must have done something right ... if i'm wrong, then i'm wrong, but at least i tried.

A source close to Clark’s family confirmed to The Post that he was the person who failed a polygraph test administered by authorities and that he also was the one with scratches on his chest — two key points that law-enforcement sources have made about one person they are looking at.
"He did not pass the polygraph test. ... But of course, they don’t always run true anway, especially when you’re nerved up asking so many questions," the source said.
The source added that, "Of course, he had scratches on his arm — from his cat."
The source said Clark, who the family calls "Ray Ray," had been working at the university building that morning along with his sister and her husband, who also are lab technicians. Clark’s girlfriend is a lab techie as well.
"But [Le] left the area before he left that morning," the source said.
"He’d seen her and said hi and kept on going. ... He really didn’t know her."
The family "is very upset," the family source added.
"I know he didn’t do it, but I can’t understand how anybody would do that in the first place and put her in the wall like that. And they would have had to do it at night because certainly nobody could have done it during the day when everybody was looking."

Does that mean he was at work yesterday? That he was at work since last Tuesday?? Horrifying for the people who work there.

Since he wasn't named until late this afternoon, looks like his family was already well aware that he was being considered for the crime. I wonder if his fiancee noticed some time early last week the injuries he'd received. I wonder what her reaction was? Do you suppose she suspected him?

09-15-2009, 06:21 PM
still in any event (not to be distracted by details) it all goes to evidence of perp's attempt to hide his deed ( Oh we don't know if it is a "he") - again focus on the mind of the perp- his present state ? got to be sweating right now- liable to make many mistakes , allowing Authorities to sieze the day ...
the more info announced by the media the more he will sweat - if the police are not already watching him 24/7 waiting for the word to make an arrest-

Or if he is on the run now and can't be found it makes perfect sense as to the COD announcement being cxld today. Hearing this info on the news might freak him out to do something drastic if he is emotionally unstable. And even if their ducks are all in a row, they can't arrest him if they don't know where he is!

My heart also goes out to this man's fiance and hope she has a caring circle of family and friends. xox

It's not what's on the outside that matters, but what's on the inside. Ted Bundy was reasonably attractive and a law student- why did he kill? Look at Karla Homolka and her husband- they had everything- to look at them from the outside. Some people just lack something internally.

His whole family works in the Yale Lab and his girlfriend and have offices there?

Is that correct information?

Perhaps Annie filed a formal complaint. (harrassment or, just work-related) And POI felt everyone's jobs were threatened (him and his family's?). That would be a source of stress...

In my area, 5 were murdered last winter because 2 of the victims had filed sexual harrassment complaints against the murderer at his place of work (hospital) and he'd been fired. The other 3 victims, they just happened to be unfortunate enough to be with the intended victims at the time the murderer accosted them. Oh, and he drove to two different locations, 30 miles apart, on the same day, to get the deeds done.

You never know what will push someone over the edge. I doesn't have to be love.

Add to your profile, if guilty - this psychopath works with animals displaying caretaking behavior. His fiance describes him as kind, loves animals...this is not what one typically hears when a psychopath is described. He is NOT typical, that's for sure. Most psychopaths, if they have animals, use them to groom or seduce victims. This is very different. mho

So this guy has not been seen since last Thurs as reports go. His fiance's words written on the 10th {Thurs} start out 'where are you'. Here we were led to believe he had been interviewed several times by LE and was not in custody but in contact with them thru his attny. Doesn't look like it IMO.

I would venture to say what happened is the tests did come back this afternoon on the samples from under her nails and when LE couldn't reach him and maybe learned all his family members were absent at work today, beat it out to his apt and are now on a manhunt to find the guy.

It explains in my mind why they cancelled the ME's COD announcement and had said there could be an imminent arrest today.

It will be so outrageous if we learn they did not have their eye on this guy since last Thurs!

I am shocked I never had this person in thought, I certainly thought it was the person we sleuthed last night.
And LE and YALE let this guy go and now they can't find him?
I can't believe it! Well, yes I can........
so the public IS NOT safe! and he wasn't being questioned at length all this time?
No one has seen him since Thurs? Fri? Sat? Sun? Mon? Tues?.......WTHeck..........



Perhaps LE has information we're not privvy to, that has led them to be certain that this was a targeted murder, and others are not in danger...

Just wondering out loud, & moo...

The whole fam working in the lab is kinda weird.

In light of this fact, I think someone posted a link to a story a page or two back stating the whole family stayed home from work today.

If he is on the run, I wonder why they are not putting his name and photo out to the media so that everyone can be on the lookout??

I can understand the secrecy up until now. But if he he has vanished, why not announce him as a POI and ask leads?

I thought homicide was the death of a person by another person. It is a very general term and not specific to intent.

Murder is the unlawful killing of another person with intent or malice of forethought. IMO. xox

Scandi--thanks! I stand corrected. apologies to Paladen.

Sorry. I'm lucky just to find the thread I want in this huge site. Sadly, I have not heard of 95% of the missing / crime folks you all discuss.

Oh dear. I've put my foot in it, haven't I? Sorry about that!

One reason LE may be being so tight lipped is if they know he left the country.

Ok, right now, he's just a "person of interest." Call me crazy, but I just cannot believe a family member (especially one who works in the lab - IF it was one of them who said it) would say:

"And they would have had to do it at night because certainly nobody could have done it during the day when everybody was looking."

That may be true indeed (but why would you say this?) - unless of course the fire alarm went off and no one was looking.

adding my two cents on the "on the run" thang:

IMHO he is not on the run.

The Yale president said that "people" were being monitored (could his use of semantics include his sister, fiance', and brotherinlaw as well.. could any of them helped him cover the crime?)

Another media report said that people hidding their faces got into a black suv outside his sister's home (I would Hazard a guess this is where he is holed up)

Yup, I agree. Maybe not so weird, for instance, if someone in the family owns the business?

Either way, I think it's important. Added stressors. Also added twists & turns.


Jersey, have you established if these are Yale employees or Contractors? Can we look at the family or the business ownership?

This is true in my facility also. We have parents and children, even. I have never understood it and don't know why they allow it. It causes all sorts of problems with the other techs in the group, too. Accusations of favoritism, etc.

This is not a family owned business. It is the Animal Care Department at Yale. They are all Yale employees.

I don't know, I think LE knows where he is. Just because he didn't show up for work, doesn't mean they don't know where he is. Remember how LE kept Scott Peterson in their sights the whole time....thank goodness! I think the next announcement will be that he has been arrested.

Same is true here from what I have heard. I honestly think they have a hard time getting people for these positions, so often they will take whomever they can.

Yes, I agree. I used to do research with animals - I felt the family atmosphere was a bit incestuous. I went back to school and now do research with humans. I have more autonomy that way.

Wasn't it just being refered to the POI as not being seen AT THE HOME since Thursday?

Maybe he is in a psych ward or somewhere where police know he is not a danger to others?

They are rationalizing because they can't accept it. Denial, bargaining...
I would fight tooth and nail NOT to have to think my brother did something like that. Wouldn't you? It takes a while to get to acceptance.

IMO, just because LE thinks Clark only wanted to kill Annie, he could kill again now out of desperation.
Does he have a car? (Hijack one)
Money? (could rob)
Shelter? (hostage)
Suicide? (even by cop)
The public is not safe until he is in jail.
Actually he is not safe either if public finds him........vigilante

Thanks Labrat, I didn't know we'd learned that tidbit. You've all been very busy & have done a nice job running down the facts you could!

That's a lot of family members for Yale to decide to hire in one department, none the less.

A caller on JVM suggested that there may be a drug connection because of the drugs used in the animal lab. The caller claimed to have worked in a lab and had knowledge.

Hmmmmm, perhaps there is more than one suspect?

I wonder if the fire alarm plays into the idea that more than one person could have participated in at least the hiding-the-evidence part.

Gene, Thanks for that comment. I think about now many of us are thinking the very same thing.

Thinking of the dynamics in New Haven I see one of the most prestigious universities in the world located in a city which doesn't seem to match. Lots of crime, not a pretty city and now a police force which is of the city and possibly being dogged by the ultra conservative reputation and power that Yale exerts.

It is easy to judge. And there is almost everything in the case IMO that the publilc is not privy to at this point.

It just has to be that thru his friends or family members they are hot on his trail.
