Annie Le Body Found: Annie Le Missing Yale Student
Police are hunting for the killer who stuffed a body believed to be that of a Yale University graduate student behind a wall in the high-security laboratory building where she worked.

Police found the body around 5 p.m. Sunday, on what was to have been 24-year-old Annie Le’s wedding day.

A friend said Monday the doctoral student never showed signs of worry about her own personal safety at work, although she did express concerns about crime in New Haven in an article she wrote last year.

“If she was concerned about (it) she would have said something to someone and they would have known,” Jennifer Simpson told CBS’ “The Early Show.” “And Jon (her fiance) would have known, her family would have known, friends would have known.”

Simpson called Le, a pharmacology student from Placerville, Calif., friendly and affable to everyone.

A body found Sunday hidden inside the wall of a Yale University building is believed to be doctoral student Annie Le, who has been missing since Tuesday. Le was last seen on videotape going into the Yale Medical School building where her body was found.

Police found the body in an area of the building where utility cables run between the floors.

“It hasn’t been positively identified as of this time,” New Haven Assistant Police Chief Peter Reichard told reporters. “However, we are assuming it is her … so we are treating it as a homicide.”
