Police have arrested lab technician Raymond Clark III and charged him with murder in the case of Annie Le’s death. Le was a Yale grad student whose corpse was stuffed behind the wall of a campus building after she had been strangled.
Earlier in the week, Clark had been taken into custody as a “person of interest” in the case. Police took DNA and hair samples from Clark which, apparently, led them to his arrest on Thursday.
Clark’s DNA matched up with evidence located at the crime-scene. Still, that was not the sole reason investigators suspected him. Police had already tracked the movements of Annie Le and Raymond Clark via their computerized swipe cards.
The activity logs put the pair together in a room located in the basement of the lab building.
Le disappeared and her access card was never used again. Clark had swiped his card to access the area where Le’s body was found.
New Haven Police Chief James Lewis has not yet confirmed the report of the DNA match, but he did refuted reports of a romantic relationship between Annie Le and Raymond Clark.
“Annie Le was a young woman with unlimited potential,” Lewis stated, and the taking of her life mere days before her wedding was a horrific case of “workplace violence.”
