The recent murder of Yale graduate student Annie Le has been all over the news. Why? College students get murdered all the time. The media seems to be all over this one, and this is what inspired me to do some research - on the nature of HER research. This link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32810822/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/#storyContinued leads to a news story on Le's murder which was posted before any suspects had been named. It states that "Le was part of a research team headed by her faculty adviser, Anton Bennett. According to its Web site, the Bennett Laboratory was involved in enzyme research that could have implications in cancer, diabetes and muscular dystrophy." The story also states that she was the type who had no enemies. So why would anyone want to murder Annie Le? Authorities are being rather secretive about this one. One officer stated, obviously a little too confidently, that "no one else is in danger". "Police on Monday sought to calm fears on the Ivy League campus, saying the death of 24-year-old Annie Le was a targeted act but would not say why anyone would want to kill the young woman just days before she was to be married." Raymond Clark, a lab technician who worked with Le, is the key suspect in the case. According to the media, his motive was frustration about the lab mice's cages being dirty and him having to clean them. Is it possible for someone to be psycho enough to kill a co-worker over something so trivial? Absolutely. Is it probable? No.
Annie Le was obviously a brilliant young woman; she graduated valedictorian at Union Mine High School in 2003. Could it be possible that she was on the brink of uncovering something big? If so, she wouldn't be the first medical researcher to be murdered as a result of a huge finding. If Raymond Clark even was the one to murder Annie Le, I doubt he was acting alone. My guess is that he was paid or threatened by a major organization (or the government) into murdering Annie Le.
