Police have little new to report on their search for Annie Le, the Yale doctoral student who has been missing since Tuesday morning.
Le, who is studying for her PhD in pharmacology at the School of Medicine, left her office at the Sterling Hall of Medicine Tuesday morning and walked to a nearby research building, where a security camera captured her entering around 10 a.m. She has not been seen since.
There’s no evidence of foul play, police told the Yale Daily News. Le, who is 24, left her cell phone, money, and other belongings in her office. Surveillance cameras yielded no sign that Le left the research building, and a bloodhound search of the building also didn’t turn up anything useful.
Le and her fiance, a grad student at Columbia University, are scheduled to be married on Sunday. On September 6, two nights before her disappearance, she posted on her Facebook page: “less than one week til the big day!” University Secretary Linda Lorimer told the Yale Daily that Le’s fiance is cooperating with the investigation by Yale and New Haven police and the FBI. “There’s not a worry” that he might be involved in the disappearance, Lorimer said.
