Investigators found bloody clothing in the building where a missing Yale graduate student was last seen days before her wedding day, we still not found Annie Le body, a police source said Saturday.
Cops discovered bride-to-be Annie Le’s blood-stained clothes stuffed in the ceiling of the building at 10 Amistad St. in New Haven, the source said. Authorities keep looking for Annie Le body in the building.
Still, authorities gave no clue they were any closer to solving Le’s baffling disappearance.
“We’re not in a position today to say whether this is a missing person case or whether criminality is involved,” FBI spokeswoman Kim Mertz said.
“Items that could potentially be evidence have been seized. ”
Authorities emptied the building where they found Annie Le bloody clothing Saturday afternoon and declared it a crime scene.
The building houses the university’s molecular biology labs at the Medical School complex about a mile from the main campus. Days before, cops found Annie Le’s purse, cell phone, credit cards and cash in her office.
Investigators had questioned a man outside the lab Saturday morning – then put him in an unmarked car with an FBI agent and drove away.
Officials would not say whether the man was a suspect, a witness, or neither.
Security records show the 24-year-old doctoral student in pharmacology swiped her identification card to enter the building around 10 a.m. Tuesday, and have no indication that she ever left.
“The case is still wide open,” a law enforcement source told the Daily News. “We are looking into everything.”
The source said investigators are looking at various scenarios, including:
* A burglary gone bad – the lab where Le was last seen is full of valuable equipment.
* Kidnapping – Le’s mother owns nail salons in California and has access to cash.
A professor who suddenly canceled a class Le was to attend around the time she went missing was questioned Friday, but had a rock-solid alibi and is not considered a suspect, a law enforcement source said.
Investigators are still searching through hundreds of hours of surveillance footage and following up on tips. Authorities said Le could have changed into a laboratory coat or other clothes before exiting the building.
“They are going frame by frame, looking at every image,” said Yale spokesman Tom Conroy. “We are also reviewing footage of nearby businesses.”
Conroy added: “We don’t know where she is. We don’t know what happened to her. We don’t know if a crime was committed or not.”
Investigators also examined blueprints of the building to make sure nothing was missed in their search.
Yale is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads cops to Le, who stands 4-feet-11 and weighs 90 pounds.
Annie Le graduated from the University of Rochester in 2007, where she received a degree in bioscience and met her fiancé, Jonathan Widawsky, whom she was set to marry today in Syosset, L.I.
Police say Widawsky, a Columbia University graduate student, is not a suspect and is assisting with the investigation.
