VietNamNet Bridge – Police have found the corpse of missing Yale university medical student Annie Le and confirmed that she was murdered.

Police in New Haven, Connecticut (USA) announced on September 13 that after a five day search, the body of a missing Viet-kieu medical student has been found ‘between walls’ in the basement of a laboratory on the Yale University campus.

Security cameras recorded Le entering the building on the morning of September 8. She frequently went there to do lab work related to her studies. Bloody clothes belonging to the 24 year old co-ed were found hidden in a ceiling in one of the labs on September 12.

Annie Le’s murder has caused a sensation on the campus of one of America’s leading universities and has been widely reported in the American press. Her murderer remains at large.

Le, a third year graduate student reportedly ‘at the top of her class,’ was to have been married on September 13. The Vietnamese-American co-ed was raised in Placerville, California, the daughter of immigrants.
