Raymond Clark III Facebook Photos: Did Raymond Clark Post Self-Incriminating Photos on Facebook?

If you're an avid reader of my material, you've probably heard me harping about the dangers of posting every picture you ever took on social networking sites, your friends' phones, etc., but if you're planning on committing a heinous crime anytime soon, like Raymond Clark, the Yale employee accused of slaying Annie Le, you should probably stay off of social networking sites altogether.

Soon after Raymond Clark III was accused of hiding Annie Le's slain body behind the wall in a Yale laboratory, Raymond's Facebook pages, as well as that of his fiancée, Jennifer Hromadka, were stripped of hundreds of photos detailing a picture biography of Raymond Clark's life.

Photos are a telling witness, especially in the case of Raymond Clark. While most of the photos (at least the ones I saw) seemed harmless, some of them were pictures of the couple in rather demented Halloween costumes, and one which featured Raymond getting spanked by a girl other than his fiancée. The rest seemed like normal photos for a guy his age, nothing that would have led anyone to believe he was capable of the crime against Annie Le and her family and fiancé.

Raymond's fiancée, Jennifer, seems to be in denial about the whole situation, holding to the belief that there's no way Raymond is responsible for the crime and still believing he loved only her and never was interested in other girls at Yale. However, it appears she too is running for cover, as her Facebook and other social networking pages have been blanked out from most discreet details. Whether she knows the truth and is still denying it or if she's completely out in the cold is currently unknown.

So should you search for these pictures of Raymond Clark III on Facebook? Well, it probably won't do you any good to look at his actual Facebook page, but Crimesider was able to provide CBS news with several of the photos (which they could retrieve after deletion because Facebook hadn't officially deleted the pages yet), so if you go to their site, you'll probably be able to find them fairly easily and safely. But remember the Erin Andrews and Ashley Greene photo fiasco - you could get a virus looking for juicy pics online.

But that just goes to show you that, even though you think you have control over deleting and posting photos, Google caches and other site features (or drawbacks) can still come back to haunt you if enough time has not passed. Sometimes, it can take up to a few years -yes, years - for Google to completely delete information. So again, fellow readers, think twice before uploading photos or other details you'll later regret. Whether Raymond Clark will suffer any because of this is yet to be determined, but it can't help, that's for sure.
