Annie Le Suspect eyed by Police

Annie Le Suspect

According to ABC News, police may have a suspect in the murder of missing Yale student Annie Le, 24, whose body was found Sunday stuffed into a wall in the basement of the medical research building where Annie Le conducted research as a third-year graduate student in pharmacology and molecular medicine. The Annie Le suspect has reportedly failed a polygraph test and has what appear to be defensive wounds – a key piece of circumstantial evidence, according to police. In addition, bloody clothing removed from the lab reportedly contains evidence linking the Annie Le suspect to the murder.

ABC News notes that police spokesman Officer Joe Avery told the Associated Press that he does not believe that the murder of Annie Le was a random act. Thus, one can reasonably conclude that the Annie Le suspect knew Annie Le (or knew of her) and may be anyone from a lab maintenance worker to a fellow student (or possibly even a Yale University professor.)

Regardless of who the Annie Le suspect is, if convicted of the murder of Annie Le, that person ought to face the death penalty. The person who murdered Yale graduate student Anni Le not only took her life and deprived her of all she was getting ready to contribute to the world (she was reportedly conducting experiments looking into the role of proteins in metabolic diseases such as diabetes – Annie Le might have helped find a cure for diabetes and other horrible diseases), but he has also destroyed the lives of her family and caused unimaginable pain and inconsolable sorrow to Annie Le’s college sweetheart Jonathan Widawsky (a Columbia University graduate student), whom she was scheduled to marry Sunday on Long Island, New York.

One could convincingly argue that such a monster does not deserve to live.
