Annie Le
The Yale graduate student who has gone missing was the valedictorian of my high school class.
We were pretty good friends for the last couple years of high school, though we haven’t talked too much in recent years. We’ve been in occasional contact on Facebook, most recently in June after The Inconvenience, Girl Child and I were in Boston for a wedding.
When last we spoke, Annie seemed happy and, as always, extremely accomplished. Mutual friends all say the same. Unfortunately, such information is not very comforting right now, because it reduces the probability of a “runaway bride” situation – which seems to be the best-case scenario. I can only hope and pray it this is all due to something (relatively) innocuous.
Please send her and her family positive thoughts, prayers, or whatever your flavor of belief dictates.
*sigh* we can hope. However, considering her purse was found with everything including cash and credit cards in it……..I don’t know.
The deal with that, though, is that she left her stuff in her office when she went to the other building (the one she was last seen in). It’s my understanding she often moved mice between the two buildings. It makes sense that she wouldn’t have taken all her belongings if she was just transferring something to the secondary lab and planning to come back – she took her ID card, which she used to get into the secondary building at ~10am.
The mystery is where the hell she went after that – why they can’t find any video of her leaving the building – why she doesn’t seem to have been among the people who evacuated for a fire alarm at ~1pm – why there was a fire alarm at all…
Ahhh..okay. Now I understand the purse and stuff.
A body was just found in the walls of the building where she was last seen.
Sorry.
Okay I haven’t been paying any attention to the news this weekend. But..in the walls? Damn…someone was feeling industrious. I hope the bastard was equally industrious in making out a will.
I saw the news that a body had been found believed to be that of the missing student.
My sympathies and prayers to her parents and loved ones.
