Investigators, searching for missing bride-to-be and Yale graduate student Annie Le, found a body in the New Haven research building where Le was last seen. While the body has not been identified as Le's, New Haven police are assuming it is hers. According to the Hartford Courant, "The body was found inside a chase, a square area in a wall used to run pipes and wires from floor to floor. Police would not say in what area of the building the body was found. Le's family has been contacted." The 24-year-old, who was supposed to be married to Columbia graduate student Jonathan Widawsky on Long Island yesterday, had been missing since Tuesday, when she was last seen entering the building (she had left her purse, credit cards and cell phone in her office a few blocks away).
Investigators from local, state and federal agencies had been searching the building, as well as a trash facility, in recent days for clues. Some bloody clothes had been found in the building, but they do not appear to be the ones Le was last wearing. Yale will be holding a candlelight vigil tonight, as students worry—one told the Yale Daily News, "It’s pretty terrifying knowing that in a keycard-accessed building, in broad daylight, this could happen. It kind of makes me not want to go anywhere by myself."
Update: NBC News reports that a suspect has been identified by police, "The suspect has defensive wounds, and failed a polygraph test, police said."

Yeah, it sounds like it was a fellow Yalie or a staffer who did it. I don't know if that makes it more scary or less scary...I guess in the end there are crazy people everywhere. A good friend of mine is a fellow grad student there and actually knew Ms Le. It's so sad that it happened the week before her wedding. RIP. Hopefully they will be able to use the evidence from the building to find the murderer.
very sad and very morbid. first suspect= someone very familiar with the building infrastucture. That should narrow it down. I feel very badly for the family and fiance, what should have been a happy celebration turned into the worst nightmare imaginable. THere are no words but a wish for healing when this all passes.
I think you're right, the authorities are probably interviewing the custodial help. Not too many people would know how or where to hide a body in a particular building. My condolences to the families.
My condolences to her family and loved ones.
Hopefully, they catch whomever did this quickly.
Truly horrible, even more so given her wedding was supposed to be yesterday. Given that no security cameras caught her leaving or someone removing a body, it had to be assumed that she was still in the building.
This recalls that story in NY where the cleaning lady who was in fear of her life from one of the elevator maintenance men, and whose body ended up stashed in the building somewhere.
I'd check the staffers and maintenance crew.
Shockingly, it appears it's not the fiance for a change. Condolences to the family.
Tragic, I think everyone was hoping that this was just a case of pre-wedding jitters.
Such a shame.
Disturbingly, she looks abit like the woman in the "Gloria-V" American Apparel Ad running above.
This is so sad, wtf man.
this is sad but I find something else bothersome...
'Some bloody clothes had been found in the building, but they do not appear to be the ones Le was last wearing'
well then who do those clothes belong to?
The suspect, perhaps.
is this new york news by default of the fiance?
who did it? was it the professor who strangely cancelled the class on that day? was it a custodian or some sort who knew the building well (like the aforementioned clean-up woman murder from a while back)? was it the professor (again) who premeditated the murder and thought of places to stash the body not thinking anyone would report her missing so soon- as it takes 48 hours to report a missing person? did said professor have a secret relationship with the deceased in the past? was it someone from the family who hired someone to off her because they disagreed with the mixed marriage? was it the person in the family who cancelled the hall reservations when they should have been worried sick instead? who done it?
Calm down, Angela Landsbury.
I can't stop laughing from your comment. I'm sorry.
"is this new york news by default of the fiance?"
It's New York news by default of your mom.
I don't think canceling the hall makes the family a suspect. It's common sense and doesn't preclude them from being worried sick while they did it.
The timing just could be an awful coincidence, but the fact that she was to get married this weekend makes me think it was someone who had a thing for her whom she had rejected and went the "if I can't have her, no one can" route.
Perhaps she was messing around on the side and got involved with the wrong individual. I would not rule out as suspects any janitors or ancillary personnel named Julio or Miguel, as they tend to be obsessed with petite Asian females...
Who isn't obsessed with petite Asian females these days?
Me...
Personally, I think they're very clingy and way too SMALL for me. I can understand why Mexicans and certain white guys may prefer them (hehe)...
it should have been you stuffed behind the wall.
Pedro Espada did it.
This is so awful. Bloody clothes not belonging to the victim? Body stashed in the wall? I imagine the police will have a suspect shortly, and unless there is an unguarded exit to the building with no surveilence, someone had to have seen the suspect - either in person or in the camera footage. How could someone commit a murder and hide a body in a building during daylight hours and not be seen?
I'm gonna put my money on a fellow grad student-- either a professional rivalry, or someone who had a fixation on/obsession with her and became unhinged when she was about to get married. She was a brilliant student in a competitive program in a top-notch program... no doubt there are a few minds in such programs that may be scientifically brilliant, but are socially/psychologically/emotionally lacking. What a terrible loss to her family and her fiance!
Probably a jealous ex (could have been his or hers). this is really just so sad. i her family and fiance get answers.
Here's my official guess: crazy fellow grad student, probably met through one of those Asian-American student organization. I'll also guess that he was in a program associated with numbers as opposed to words.
met through one of those Asian-American student organization
Um, usually these heinous crimes are commited by white males. So I'm betting on a white male not an Asian American.
I'll bet anything it's a jealous crazy chick.
I doubt its some geek who needs binoculars to go to the bathroom.
It sure as hell could have been another student. This reeks of classic obsessed thrill kill and that would be nothing new for a college campus. I don't know if this helps, but girls, whenever a strange dude says hello or makes a comment, ask his name and jot it down. A lot of these killers make vague encounters but value their anonymity too much to engage fully with their quarry.
Wow, a student suspect. i would have put my money on someone in the non-student staff.
I feel bad for that guy, losing a hot chick like that.

ah man, double post. i feel like a fool. sorry guys!
The double post snafu is forgiven.
The contents of the post...is troll-tastic.
Didn't intend to be trolly, but I guess you can't actually speak your mind here without being called a racist or troll. Oh well..just wait til the facts come out. Bortstradamus.
No, you can speak your mind here without being called a racist or troll. It's really simple: Don't post racist or trolling comments.
Easy peasy!
She was gonna marry Jared from Subway?
This is sad. She was one of the good ones.
did the suspect do a perp walk yet?
sad for those all around, she cutes up nicely, even carrying all those books and in a long dress. the couple looked very happy together. and she was 24, she'll have those youthful looks for a long time.
and about the "clingy" reference I think that's just because she's shorter than her mate and will always look up. like I said before, some Asian moms can bring home the bacon and cook it too.
Why did it take 6 days to find a body in the building?
Do you really want to know?
I was thinking the same thing. You would think that a police dog would easily find a body in a confined area.
