Yale Murder Story

The recent murder of the Yale student researcher, Annie M. Le, was strange from the start.  She was killed just days before her wedding in Long Island and her body was found stuffed inside a wall in Yale lab on the what should have been her wedding day.  And now it has gotten even stranger!

Police have arrested a Yale employee, Raymond Clark, for the murder.  He wasn't a stalker.  He wasn't another researcher.  He was the team leader of a crew assigned to the CARE, FEEDING AND WELL BEING OF LAB ANIMALS and it is believed that when he just couldn't take Annie's refusal to follow the procedures in the lab, he just snapped and killed her.

The New York Times runs a story today that pulls all of this into focus.  It is very interesting and shows a sharp contrast of two worlds:  those who take care of lab animals and sometimes grow attached and those who conduct medical research on same animals.  In one very sad instance these two worlds collided so badly that one person chose murder and another lost her life.
