"Le, a a pharmacology student from Placerville, Calif., wrote a magazine article earlier this year about how to stay safe around the Ivy League campus.
The article, titled "Crime and Safety in New Haven," was published in February in a magazine produced by Yale's medical school."

It looks like they are focusing on another student as the possible murderer. I wonder if the psycho who killed her read the article and said to himself, "She thinks she knows how to stay safe, well I'll teach her about being a crime victim ..."
Member that 60's saying "don't trust anyone over 30"? It may have been a generalization for the times, but there was a reason for it. Well, I am starting to think the mantra for these times is the opposite- don't trust anyone under 30, and unfortunately this reason is much worse.
I'm sorry, but I'm against the DP. I know I know...
I'm ONLY against it because I think our system is so wrong and so corrupt on so many levels that it can not be trusted with human life - innocent human life convicted of crime, which seems to be getting exonherated more and more these days.
If it's a smack down, 35 people saw this guy walk into X building and mow down 12 people with a rifle before being stopped - yea, pull the lever.
But "creepy" who-done-it's like this make me leary at best.
Case seems classic. Clark, the suspect, was her peer, the same age. Annie Le was at Yale doing a doctorate and about to marry a guy getting a PhD in Physics from Columbia.
Clark was cleaning mouse cages and doing other custodial chores.
Clark send pointed emails to her to follow protocol. Annie, trying to be kind, politely agreed that she would do so.
The juxtaposition of two people of the same age (He graduated HS in 2004, so was 23-24. She as 24) but with such different career and personal trajectories must have been overwhelming to someone with a demonstrated penchant for control.
Lessons learned?
1) Improve hiring and screening
2) At first sign of trouble, summarily fire, but do so with a generous severance
3) For researchers, come up with a solution of dealing with this juxtaposition. Although this has always been the case at unis between researchers and staff, the difference here is dramatic.
A tragedy that was wholly avoidable by Yale.
