DNA tests show Annie Le's blood on boots belonging to Yale lab tech Raymond Clark

DNA shows Annie Le’s blood on Yale lab tech, THE LIFE AND TRAGIC DEATH OF ANNIE LE. Investigators say they’re eyeing accused killer Raymond Clark’s signature green pen as a clue, and whether he returned to the crime scene to retrieve it.

The case against Raymond Clark is as solid as the jailhouse walls that hold him.

Investigators say this is the evidence that will keep him behind bars – quite possibly for the rest of his life:

DNA tests proving Annie Le’s blood is on Clark’s boots, which have his name on them.

Tests identifying his DNA on her body and clothing.

More tests identifying her DNA and hair on him and his clothing.

Just one of those matches would be enough to make the case.

And then there is the green pen.

Clark did not want to be just some guy who cleans mouse cages, so he distinguished himself by always signing in for work with a pen that used green ink. Every day, including the day of the killing.

Investigators believe he dropped the pen at the scene and was unable to retrieve it after it fell into a crevice.

He apparently hoped to fish it out when he showed up at the lab the day after the killing with a backpack containing wire, fishing hooks and bubble gum.

Even more damning than the pen is his swipe card, which indicates he spent nearly an hour in the room with Le’s body after the murder. One can only imagine what was going through his mind.

The swipe card records then show him suddenly moving from room to room, as if he were searching for a place to hide a body.

The records have him returning to the room and finally heading toward the utilities conduit where the body was later found.

The medical evidence tells investigators Le was first hit and then strangled, as if a sudden loss of temper was followed by an explosion of rage.

The investigators have no doubt who did it – and how.

The only question is why.

Here they can only theorize.

They note the e-mail exchange in which Clark objected to Le being lax with protocols for tending lab mice. Le responded in a conciliatory tone, which fits what investigators have learned about her.

What would not fit would be for her to have been any less conciliatory in person when she encountered Clark at the lab the day of the killing.
