Accused murderer Ray Clark was so desperate to hide his heinous handiwork that he allegedly broke the bones and mangled the body of a strangled Yale grad student to fit it through a wall opening the size of a computer screen, The Post has learned.

"He just crushed her in there. She was like mush -- she was so smashed up you couldn't recognize her," said a source, who gave The Post disturbing new details of Clark's moves after Annie Le's gruesome slaying.
    This sick SOB needs to rot in a jail cell for the rest of his sick existence 

This is terrible to read. He is a sick bastard!! I can't think of a punishment that is terrible enough for him!!  Oh his parents must be proud!!  IMO there MUST be things in his background that his parents knew about that were warnings of his potential!!



This information supports why it took so long to identify the body and goes along with the report that her body was "taken apart".  That explains why the words dismembered or cut apart weren't used. I don't even have words to express my disgust with what he has done. Bad enough that he killed her, but to mutilate her body like that is beyond description........

can't even wrap my head around something like that! how does a human being do that to another human being?

Yale grad's bones broken to fit in hole

Accused murderer Ray Clark was so desperate to hide his heinous handiwork that he allegedly broke the bones and mangled the body of a strangled Yale grad student to fit it through a wall opening the size of a computer screen, The Post has learned.

"He just crushed her in there. She was like mush -- she was so smashed up you couldn't recognize her," said a source, who gave The Post disturbing new details of Clark's moves after Annie Le's gruesome slaying.

Le's body, the source said, was found in a utility space in a bathroom wall near the basement lab where she had been working the day she vanished.
 

HORROR: Ray Clark allegedly broke Annie Le's bones to jam her body into a tiny storage place.


In his haste to cover his tracks after Le was killed, Clark accidentally tripped a fire alarm -- possibly with his own or Le's employee swipe card, the source said.

Clark had used both his and Le's cards to access various areas of the lab after her murder -- and those swipe cards can be used to sound a fire alert, according to the source.

"He didn't mean to set off the alarm," the source said.

Clark was seen on video after the building was evacuated, holding his head in his hands.

Before Le was even reported missing, two rookie cops who talked to Clark after the fire alarm went off suspected he was up to no good, the source noted.

"They knew something was off with the guy -- he was nervous," said the source.

"He was acting weird, he was ghost white. His answers weren't making any sense. He was stuttering, and trying to stand in front of a chemistry tray with his arms crossed, trying to hide something."

Investigators have said Clark aroused suspicion when he was seen trying to clean the lab and hide equipment that later turned out to contain blood splatters.

According to the source, Clark was "a control freak" who insisted on lab cleanliness and "had issues" with the way Le kept her lab and her research mice.

"She wasn't clean, and it made him mad."

Le was last seen entering her lab building at around 10 a.m. on Sept. 8 and was reported missing that night. Her body was found Sept. 13, the same day she was to wed Columbia grad student Jonathan Widawsky on Long Island.

A "foul odor" led investigators to her body, the source said.

The space where Le was found -- 8 inches deep and covered by a metal panel "the size of a computer screen" -- houses a vertical and a horizontal water pipe.

Her killer had to maneuver her body around the pipes, according to the source.

"I've been doing this a long time, and I've never seen anything like that. This guy's twisted."

OMG how terrible. How did he sleep eat or do anything after he did this to poor Annie?
This is so sick, he must have done some bad things before this.
This could not be the first sick thing he ever did. IMO
Just how does someone do this, then go play ball and go to the fair

Police Call Out Inaccurate Reporting In Le Case
New Haven Police Call NY Post Article Inaccurate

Stephanie Berning, Managing Editor

POSTED: 12:00 pm EDT September 21, 2009
UPDATED: 9:03 pm EDT September 21, 2009


NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- New Haven police, in an attempt to dispel a "myth,” said Monday that the body of Yale graduate student Annie Le was not mangled to fit through the wall in which she was found.

“In an article in today’s edition of The New York Post, reporter Rebecca Rosenberg falsely reported that the suspect in the investigation of the homicide of Annie Le ‘broke the bones and mangled the body of a strangled Yale grad student to fit it through a wall,’ “ New Haven police said in a written statement.

State’s Attorney Michael Dearington asked the New Haven Police Department to clarify the inaccuracy, which he said was picked up by other media outlets.

YALE KILLING
New Haven Police Done With Le's Murder Investigation; No More Arrests Expected

VIDEO at link

By ALAINE GRIFFIN The Hartford Courant

September 22, 2009


NEW HAVEN — - Police have wrapped up their investigation of the slaying of Yale graduate student Annie Le and are not expecting more arrests, the police chief said Monday.

Police Chief James Lewis said that police on Saturday seized a vehicle owned by the father of Raymond Clark III, but he declined to say why police sought a search warrant for the vehicle.

"But don't read anything into that," Lewis said. "It doesn't mean that somebody else is going to be arrested. We're finishing up the process of looking at evidence and sometimes you never know where that evidence will take you. But for now, we've made the only arrest we expect to make. "

Clark, 24, an animal laboratory technician at Yale, is charged with murder in the killing of Le, a third-year doctoral student in pharmacology at the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.

Le, 24, was reported missing just days before her scheduled wedding to a Columbia University graduate student. Her body was discovered Sept. 13 — the day she was supposed to be married — concealed in a crawl space at 10 Amistad St., a research building that's part of the Yale School of Medicine complex.

The state medical examiner said that Le died of traumatic asphyxiation due to neck compression.

Police arrested Clark last Thursday after sources said that authorities used forensic evidence, including a DNA match for the suspect in the crawl space where Le's body was hidden and on evidence found in a ceiling, to link him to the crime.

Sources said police also have computer records showing that Clark was the last person to see Le alive in a room inside a laboratory.

On Monday, New Haven police and New Haven State's Attorney Michael Dearington took the unusual step of addressing what they called inaccurate media reports.

In a press release, police said that Dearington asked the department to clarify a report in The New York Post that said the suspect "broke the bones and mangled the body of" Le "to fit it through a wall."

"This information is false and this myth must be dispelled at the request of the state's attorney," Lewis said in the press release.

Lewis told The Courant that such a report needed to be corrected.

"We'd prefer not to have inaccurate statements out there, particularly ones that are so shocking to the public," he said.

Public defenders for Clark have complained about leaks to the media during the investigation. Last week, Thomas J. Ullmann, New Haven's head public defender, sent a letter to state prosecutors saying they were frustrated by apparent leaks in the case, including tips that disclosed the alleged killer's name and his whereabouts at least twice before he was arrested.

Le's funeral is being handled by the Green Valley Mortuary in Rescue, Calif. A spokesperson at the mortuary said Monday that the family had asked that details of the funeral not be made public.

Ex-Girlfriend Describes Yale Lab Tech Murder Suspect as Controlling and Angry

Wednesday, September 23, 2009
NEW YORK —  A former high school girlfriend of a Yale lab technician charged with murder said Wednesday he was extremely controlling — that he told her what clothes she could wear, where she could go and what friends she could have.

Jessica Delrocco said on ABC's "Good Morning America" that Raymond Clark III would also get very angry and "physical" with her, to the point where she was frightened. She declined to elaborate on the alleged physical confrontations.

Clark is charged with murder for the strangulation of 24-year-old graduate student Annie Le, whose body was found on what would have been her wedding day. Her body was found hidden in a wall recess in a university medical school research building where they both worked.

One of Clark's lawyers, public defender Beth Merkin, declined to comment Wednesday.

Police said they don't know a motive for the Sept. 8 slaying. Some of Clark's co-workers have described him as a "control freak" who rigidly enforced the rules in the lab where research mice were caged.
An animal lab technician at Yale since 2004, Clark cleaned floors and mouse cages. Le, a doctoral pharmacology student, was part of a team that experimented on mice as part of research into enzymes that could have implications for treatment of cancer, diabetes and muscular dystrophy.

Clark attended high school in Branford, a small middle-class suburb of New Haven.

In 2003, when he was a senior at Branford High, police reportedly warned him to stay away from a girlfriend because he upset her so much when she tried to break up with him.

The incident was reported by the New Haven Independent, which obtained a copy of the police report. It is unknown if Delrocco is the girlfriend described in the report, and police refused to give a copy of the report to The Associated Press, citing the investigation into Le's murder.

According to the police report, the girlfriend and her mother told a detective that Clark once forced her to have sex, but no charges were filed.

Delrocco didn't immediately return a message left Wednesday by The AP with a relative.
Le's funeral is set for Saturday in El Dorado Hills, California, near her hometown of Placerville. She was also to be remembered Wednesday at a memorial service at her fiance's synagogue in New York.

Ex-Girlfriend Says Raymond Clark III Was Extremely Controlling

Detectives May Have New Clues in Yale Student Annie Le's Shocking Murder

Thursday, September 24, 2009
 Detectives in the stunning broad-daylight murder of Yale grad student Annie Le may have found new evidence in the university lab building where her body was stuffed behind a wall.

New Haven Police Officer Joseph Avery said investigators returned to the facility Wednesday to examine what could be new clues in the killing. He declined to elaborate further. Authorities say they don't expect to make any more arrests.

It was the same day 24-year-old Le, who was studying for her doctorate in pharmacology, was remembered in a memorial service. Her funeral is Saturday in California.

Raymond Clark III, 24, a lab technician who worked at Yale in the same facility where Le did her research, is behind bars and charged with her murder.

Le was set to be married Sept. 13, the day her body was discovered after she disappeared suddenly the previous week.
On Wednesday night, Le was remembered at her fiance's synagogue as a bright, vivacious, ambitious dynamo whose death cheated those who loved her, as well as those who never had a chance to meet her.

"Instead of celebrating a wedding, we are memorializing a life," said Lauren Widawsky, the younger sister of Le's fiance Jonathan Widawsky.

In an hourlong service attended by about 300 people at Temple Beth El on Long Island, N.Y., clergy, friends and relatives gathered to mourn Le's loss.

She and Widawsky were to be married by the synagogue's cantor at a nearby catering hall on Long Island.

Cantor Sandra Sherry noted Le was so looking forward to her wedding and had even made the beaded veil for the ceremony. She said the hundreds who attended the service did so "to support Jonathan, a young man who has had to experience a loss so early in his life."

Le worked on a team that experimented on mice as part of research into enzymes that could have implications for treatment of cancer, diabetes and muscular dystrophy.

Reports surfaced last week that Clark may have been angry with Le about the way she handled the lab mice, citing e-mails exchanged between the two in which he criticized her for failing to follow the rules.
Police say they don't know the motive for her murder.

"Annie was a passionate young scientist who wanted to save the world," said Janet Widawsky of her future daughter-in-law. "A life cut too short."

Earlier Wednesday, Clark's ex-girlfriend Jessica Delrocco said on ABC's "Good Morning America" that he was controlling, angry and got "physical" with her — to the point where he scared her. She declined to elaborate on any physical confrontations.

One of Clark's lawyers, public defender Beth Merkin, declined to comment Wednesday.

An animal lab technician at Yale since 2004, Clark cleaned floors and mouse cages. Some of Clark's co-workers have described him as rigidly enforcing the rules in the lab where research mice were caged.

More evidence found at Yale crime scene

NEW HAVEN — Two days after Yale reopened the building where graduate student Annie Le was killed, police closed a portion of it down again after potential new evidence was uncovered.

The discovery happened Tuesday night. Plumbers reportedly discovered something shoved inside a drain in a washroom, an area in the basement where mouse cages are cleaned.

Police would not say what was found but New Haven police and state police forensic technicians returned to the lab building at 10 Amistad St. An employee in the building understood the item was medical scrubs shoved inside a wash basin, but authorities wouldn’t confirm that.

“Our detectives and the Connecticut State Police were over there today,” New Haven Officer Joe Avery confirmed, but added, “I know of no new evidence.”

It was unclear if the entire basement area or just the washroom was closed off, but the remainder of the building remained unaffected.

Animal technician Raymond Clark III, 24, who is charged with murder, worked in the basement of the building, cleaning cages and making sure federal protocols were followed by scientists.

Le was one of them, pursuing her doctorate in pharmacology. She disappeared Sept. 8. Her body was found stuffed inside a wall Sept. 13.

Clark, who was a person of interest even before Le’s remains were discovered, was charged with murder Sept. 17.

State police had collected more than 300 pieces of evidence, only a fraction of which have been analyzed. Some that were analyzed generated a DNA match to Clark, which led to his arrest.

Meanwhile, a former high school girlfriend of Clark said Wednesday he was extremely controlling — that he told her what clothes she could wear, where she could go and what friends she could have.

Jessica Delrocco said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that Clark would also get very angry and “physical” with her, to the point where she was frightened. She declined to elaborate on the alleged physical confrontations.

Clark is charged with murder for the strangulation of 24-year-old Le, whose body was found on what would have been her wedding day.

Police said they don’t know a motive for the Sept. 8 slaying. Some of Clark’s co-workers have described him as a “control freak” who rigidly enforced the rules in the lab where research mice were caged.

An animal lab technician at Yale since 2004, Clark attended high school in Branford. In 2003, when he was a senior at Branford High, police reportedly warned him to stay away from a girlfriend because he upset her so much when she tried to break up with him.

The incident was reported by the New Haven Independent, which obtained a copy of the police report. It is unknown if Delrocco is the girlfriend described in the report, and police refused to give a copy of the report to The Associated Press, citing the investigation into Le’s murder.

Delrocco didn’t immediately return a message left Wednesday by The AP with a relative.

Le’s funeral is set for Saturday in El Dorado Hills, Calif.

She was remembered Wednesday at a memorial service at her fiance’s synagogue in New York.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
