Possible Missing Yale Student's Body Found

After reading all the headlines of the possible articles I could choose to write about, I decided to discuss an article from The New York Times titled, "Police Find Body Believed to be Missing Yale Student." Although this is a gruesome article, I have watched and heard this story unfold from the news and I was of course hoping for a happier end to the story but after reading this article, I think the opposite happened. On Tuesday, September 8th, a Yale student named Annie Le was reported missing several hours after she was seen walking into her lab class on a surveilance camera. It was said that she was supposed to wed on Sunday, September 13th, but many say this wasn't another case of a runaway bride. Also, the police found bloody clothes above ceiling tiles in the lab building but they did not match the clothing she was seen in that day, which does not sound like a good sign. After six days of searching, and on the exact day of her wedding, a body was found behind a basement wall of the lab building at Yale. Police are not don't know if this is the body of Annie Le, but they are fairly certain it is. This case is said to be a similar to one in December of 1998, where yet another female Yale student was found stabbed to death in a nearby neighborhood. The murderer was never found and the case is still unsolved today. Once I finished reading this article, I had many questions including, was the body found in the wall actually Annie Le, or someone else? Is there any connection to the date of her wedding day and when she went missing? How did no one see her leave the lab building? What happened between the time of entering the lab and when she was reported missing? Were the bloody clothes found in the ceiling tiles in any way linked to her disapperence and possible murder? Is the case from 1998 and this case at all tied together? Is it possibly the same person who killed the young women in 1998? Are our school's safe even with all the security advancements?

On September 16th, another article on the subject of Annie Le's death was released and answered many of my questions, however, some of the answers were ones I did not want to hear. The article titled, "Arrest in Yale Killing is Imminent, Police Say" shared the unfortunate news that the body found behind the basement walls of the lab building was Annie Le. The article also stated that a possible murder suspect was found, Raymond Clark III. It was said that Clark worked in the same lab building as a technician where he cleaned up after the animals there and any other messes made. This is the same place where Le did her animal research but other than that, Le and Clark never had any other interaction. The police have taken more than 200 DNA samples from the lab trying to discover any clues leading to the discovery of Le's killer. Clark is the main suspect because Le had been strangled to death and Clark had scratches and bruises all over his hands, arms, and chest. He was taken in for questioning and then released later on because he was being very cooperative. Even after reading this article too, I still have many questions. Is Raymond Clark the killer? Will the DNA samples reveal another suspect? Why would Clark kill her if he didn't know her? If he is the killer, why was he so cooperative at the questioning? Wouldn't he have something to hide? How long had he been planning this if he was the killer? Does the case from 1998 have any connection to this one? Although I'm left with many questions, I'm more aware of what is going on in this case and am now very concerned on what could have happened. This news story may be sad, but I hope that this case gets solved soon so that Annie Le's murderer is brought to justice.
