Well, they found Annie Le’s body and I was right – she never left the lab. I told my coworker I bet they’d find her body in there somewhere – a false ceiling or sub-floor kind of thing. It ended up being in a wall that housed conduit between floors but I just had a feeling she was there somewhere.
For one thing, with all those cameras around and throughout the building, if she had left – even forcibly – something would have shown up on one of them. If someone snuck her out, they still would have had to put her in something big enough to carry her which would have been on the cameras and therefore suspicious.
What kind of sick individual kills someone and stuffs them in a wall? Plus, a key card was needed to get into the lab so finding a suspect shouldn’t be that hard, should it? Of course, when the fire alarm went off she might have started out of her office and someone forced her back in but again, that would show up in the key card file.
Yes, she could have let someone in – I know our security system shows every time the door is opened, even from the inside going out – so somehow this would show up as well. We know she didn’t stuff herself in the wall so who else had access? Who else logged into that bldg? What visitors had received passes?
Plus, why was she killed? We won’t have an autopsy report right away to know if she was sexually molested – if not, then this had to be someone jealous of her in some fashion. It also had to be someone familiar enough with the lab to know the spot was there to stuff her in. It seems like a crime of passion to me – whether hate, jealousy, love, anger, whatever – it doesn’t seem premeditated because one; it was a very public place and two; who plans to kill someone in the middle of the day? Not many people. Plus they wouldn’t do it in a place where disposal of a body is so limited. Granted it took the police six days to find it but find it they did.
My heart goes out to her folks and family. What a horrible thing to have to face when they were so ready to celebrate her wedding.
