Possible motives for murder include jealousy, rage, arguments over the mice, sexual assault or other reasons. Please discuss motives here:

Don't take offense but I think suggesting that JH is involved in this death is quite a shame based on the facts that we do know.
Quote from Connecticut News:
>snip
In May, Clarks girlfriend wrote on her MySpace page about a rumor that her boyfriend, whom she calls Ray, was cheating on her with the girl who works at the Yale lab.>snip
Clark's in love with Le, according to Clark's girlfriend they were having an affair. Clark became obessive because he could not have Le. Anger provoked the strangulation of Le which is considered a personal act.
I won't take offense, but I also don't see the harm in looking into theories that do include JH. We do know a little bit about her from her MySpace page and there are some things she said that could possibly link her to this somehow. Nothing is concrete at this stage in the case, and I'll entertain all ideas right now.
On the general thread, soon to be closed, there was ongoing discussion regarding Annie's ethnicity and it's possible meaning to the killer and how it might be related to motive.
In light of those discussions, I'm bringing the following statistics here for the review of those interested:
http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=4123
***************************************
Yale 1st year class - Student Body
6% In-state students
94% Out-of-state students
50% Women
50% Men
1% American Indian/Alaskan Native
14% Asian/Pacific Islander
9% Black/Non-Hispanic
9% Hispanic
35% White/Non-Hispanic
10% Non-Resident Alien
22% Race/ethnicity unreported
97% in top 10th of graduating class
100% in top quarter of graduating class
********************************************
The above is undergrad info, readily available from the College Board site. I didn't take time to research the make up of the grad program or the medical schools - the info is probably readily available. (You can also look at the listing of grad student names working in the various biomed labs - and recognize many names as Asian - I'd assume the ratios are similar to undergrad in the grad program).
Yale Graduate school is a highly international school. Many foreign students. Best & brightest in their fields from around the world. Walking around campus for just four blocks or so, it would not be strange at all to overhead conversations in 5 languages. Expecially in a library plaza on a nice sunny day.
Finally, I would add that although the College Board stats report 14% Asian in the entering class at Yale, there is a growing tendency to decline to report ethnicity (22% unreported) on applications and forms at highly selective colleges. The actual % of Asians on Yale campus could likely climb far above 14% if all applicants reported their ethnicity.
IMO, this is just something to consider as you weigh the significance of Annie's ethnicity relative to this crime: There's many students of Asian ethnicity on the Yale campus, and it's been that way a long time.
