Investigators sifted through garbage at a New Haven incinerator Sunday, looking for clues into the disappearance of a Yale University Viet graduate student who was supposed to be celebrating her wedding day, reports the AP here.
An FBI agent said that investigators are “following the trash” that left the university building at 10 Amistad that houses Annie Le’s lab in New Haven. However, he declined to provide more details into the search at the plant, where the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority operates a trash-to-energy plant.
Authorities also decline to confirm on the record that evidence recovered from the Amistad building includes bloody clothing found in the ceiling as previously reported by the Yale Daily News (see here).
The source that talked to the Yale Daily News did so on condition of anonymity. CNN, however, in its story here, also received confirmation from its anonymous source that bloody clothing was found.
CNN’s source told it that the clothing was being tested to see whether the blood is Le’s.
Le was last seen on a Yale security camera entering 10 Amistad. Authorities have yet to find any image of her leaving it, despite the 75 security cameras covering the building.
Annie Le, a doctoral student in pharmacology, was last seen Tuesday, and her purse, cell phone, credit cards and money were found in her office.
The university has offered a $10,000 reward for information about her, and has published both a Yale Police phone number and an FBI Tip line, at (203) 432-4400 and 1-877-503-1950.
