Annie Marie Le: Search for Missing Yale Student Continues: Bloody Clothing Found; Man Questioned

New Development in Case of Missing Yale Student / Bride-To-Be

Saul Relative
Annie Marie Le, a 24-year-old Yale doctoral student, has been missing since Tuesday. She disappeared after entering a lab building. Annie Marie Le was observed by authorities on surveillance video footage swiping her Yale identification card and entering the building. She was not observed leaving the building. According to the Associated Press, local authorities and the FBI pored over surveillance footage of 75 cameras that cover the medical complex where the disappearance occurred, and Annie Marie Le's image was not seen leaving the building.

Annie Marie Le was to be married Sunday.

Le's fiance, Jonathan Widawsky, a Columbia University graduate student, is reportedly not a suspect in the investigation.

But there are new developments in the case that may be leading the FBI to a solution. The New Haven Register reported Saturday that bloody clothing was found in the building Annie Marie Le was last seen entering.

An unidentified man was questioned outside the building as well. He was seen getting into an unmarked vehicle with an FBI agent and the car drove away.

Authorities have not disclosed details about the bloody clothing or the man that was being questioned. Officials have not determined whether or not Annie Marie Le's case is criminal or not. There was no evidence of foul play. Tom Conroy, a Yale spokesman, said, "...we don't know what happened to her. We don't know if a crime was committed or not."

Blueprints to the building have also reportedly been requested by officials searching for the missing student.

Yale University has offered a $10,000 reward for any information leading to the whereabouts of Annie Marie Le.

And while the search goes on for the missing Yale student, the search for a missing Dalton State student continues in northern Georgia. Kristi Cornwell went missing from Jones Creek Road in Blairsville Georgia on August 11 while taking a walk. Kristi Cornwell was on the cell phone with her boyfriend at the time she allegedly went missing. Although personal items of Cornwell's were found at the scene where it is believed she may have been abducted and her cell phone was recovered three miles from that spot, there has been no word or sign of Kristi Cornwell since yelled "Don't take me!"

Kristi Cornwell, like Annie Marie Le, was also engaged to be married.

There is a $50,000 reward for anyone having information as to the whereabouts of Kristi Cornwell.

    This statement was made prior to the finding of the body, Nho. This article was written the day before the body beleived to be Annie Mare Le was found.

    "No evidence of foul play"?

    I'm sure she didn't just decide to commit suidice by stuffing herself into a wall. What a ridiculous statement by Yale.

    Getting ever more dangerous to be a woman, sad.

    Oh, I was hoping it was another run away bride situation, doesn't look that way now.

    I really hope this doesn't end the way I think it will...the way most of these do. I always hold out hope, and I try not to expect bad news, but...
