Clues point to inside job in Yale killing
(Agencies)
Updated: 2009-09-15 10:05 When the building reopens, there will be extra security both inside and outside, said Yale Secretary and Vice President Linda Lorimer. Police are analyzing what they call "a large amount" of physical evidence. A friend said Monday that Le never showed signs of worry about her own personal safety at work, though she did express concerns about crime in New Haven in an article she wrote in February for the medical school's magazine. "If she was concerned about (it) she would have said something to someone, and they would have known," Jennifer Simpson told CBS' "The Early Show." "And Jon (her fiance) would have known, her family would have known, friends would have known." Simpson said Le, a pharmacology student from Placerville, Calif., was friendly to everyone. "She was a people person," Simpson said. "She loved people. She loved life. We just can't imagine anybody wanting to harm Annie." In the Sierra foothills community east of Sacramento where Le went to high school, she was seen as a high achiever who knew early on that she wanted a career in medicine. In a Union Mine High School yearbook from 2003, Le said her long-term goal was to become a laboratory pathologist and said it would require about 12 years of higher education. "I just hope that all that hard work is going to pay off and I'm really going to enjoy my job," she said. No one answered the door Monday at the Widawskys' gray, ranch-style home in Huntington, NY. "He is a very nice young man," next-door neighbor George Mayer said of Jonathan Widawsky, a 24-year-old seeking his doctorate in physics. "His family, they're all just wonderful people — very, very nice people." The university held a candlelight vigil Monday evening. The death is the first killing at Yale since the unsolved December 1998 death of Yale student Suzanne Jovin. The popular 21-year-old senior was stabbed 17 times in New Haven's East Rock neighborhood, about 2 miles from campus.
