Breaking News :-Police: Body found could be missing Yale student at wall in the basement


Annie Le case of missing person has now changed into homicide case.

Police in Connecticut say a body has been found in a building where a Yale University graduate student vanished.

New Haven Assistant Police Chief Peter Reichard says the body has not been identified as doctoral student Annie Le, who has been the focus of a massive police search since she vanished in the building on Tuesday.

The remains were found inside a wall at 10 Amistad Street, said Peter Reichard, New Haven, Connecticut, assistant police chief.

"She hasn't been positively identified, however, we are assuming that it is her at this time so we are treating it as a homicide investigation," Reichard said.

Le was last seen on a Yale security camera entering the Amistad medical research building at about 10 a.m. on Tuesday. Authorities have not found images of her leaving the building. Investigators said they had spoken with students and others in the building who confirmed she was there.

"Our hearts go out to Annie Le's family, fiancé and friends, who must suffer the additional ordeal of waiting for the body to be identified," Levin said. "I have met again with her family and conveyed to them the deeply felt support of the Yale community."

Investigators probing the disappearance of the pharmacology student earlier were testing bloody clothes found hidden in ceiling tiles in the Yale building, a law enforcement source told CNN. The bloody clothes are among the potential evidence being tested.

William Reiner of the FBI's New Haven office said Sunday that investigators are searching a waste facility that normally handles garbage from the Yale lab. He described it as a routine step.

"In a situation like this, it's common for us to follow the trash," Reiner said.

The search was taking place at the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority landfill in Hartford, near New Haven.
