Awful: Missing Yale Student Found Dead; Update: Officals Deny Body Found

Just a horrible tragedy. A young college student set to be married this weekend and then this.

Investigators found the body of missing Yale graduate student Annie Le in the building where she was last seen, the Daily News has learned.

The report came a short time after the police found bloody clothes stuffed in the ceiling of the building at 10 Amistad St. in New Haven.

Authorities emptied the building Saturday afternoon and declared it a murder scene.

The building houses the university's molecular biology labs at the Medical School complex about a mile from the main campus. Cops had found Le's purse, cell phone, credit cards and cash earlier this week.

Investigators had questioned a man outside the lab Saturday morning — then put him in an unmarked car with an FBI agent and drove away.

Officials would not say whether the man was a suspect, a witness, or neither.

Security records show the 24-year-old doctoral student in pharmacology swiped her identification card to enter the building around 10 a.m. Tuesday, and have no indication that she ever left.

"[The case] is still wide open," a law enforcement source told the Daily News. "We are looking into everything."

The source said investigators are looking at:

* A burglary gone bad — the lab where Le was last seen is full of valuable equipment.

* Kidnapping — Le's mother owns nail salons in California and has access to cash.

* A professor who suddenly canceled a class Le was to attend around the time she went missing.

Investigators are still searching through hundreds of hours of surveillance footage and following up on tips. Yale announced Friday a $10,000 reward for information that leads them to Le.

"They are going frame by frame, looking at every image," said Yale spokesman Tom Conroy. "We are also reviewing footage of nearby businesses.

The professor was questioned by police Friday.

Aware of the dangers of life in New Haven, Le had authored an article on campus safety. Now tragically she's a victim. Here she is with her fiance. It breaks your heart to imagine the grief he and the families face today.

May no mercy be spared on the monster who has destroyed so many lives.

Update: Looks like the Daily News jumped the gun. Apologies for any confusion.
