building. >> breaking news. moments ago connecticut's chief medical examiner confirmed a body found in a yale medical school building is missing student annie le pb. the body discovered behind a wall inside a campus lab. >> the body found behind the wall at the yale university medical center laboratory, is, in fact, annie le. we know the manner of death is a homicide. >> detectives and investigators have a large amount of physical evidence at the scene we're going through. >> detectives are zeroing in on a key piece of evidence. bloody clothing found at the crime scene tucked inside ceiling tile. >> get the idea that a yale student was killed in a busy academic building in broad day lugt is really horrifying. i think to everyone in this community. >> police say her murder was not

random. she was targeted. >> yale president richard levin saying we know everyone who was in the basement. there was a limited number of people in that basement and those names have been given to police. >> this is probably a case of a murder on the loose on campus, giving the fact you needed a yale i.d. to get into the basement are annie's body was found. that's what is so scary. >> straight out to mary snow standing by at yale medical school in new haven. mary, what can you tell us? >> reporter: well, nancy, police are keeping very tight lipped about this. all signs are pointing to an inside job. as you've reported, the positive identification on annie le's body was made late this afternoon but the medical exam naer is saying that the cause of death right now is not being released. they say this is a temporary thing but they want to facilitate the investigation. tonight here on the campus of yale university, vigil is being

held, security is being tightened. the president of yale is saying in his words, when he's talked to students and faculty earlier today, he used the word abundance of evidence. he's confident the culprit will be caught and arrested but did not have a timeframe. police have been insisting throughout the day they do not have a suspect in custody and they are also saying, though, this was no random act. >> mary snow, i'm glad that the president of yale university wants the security tightened, because wasn't it just about in 1999 another young woman was stabbed to death very near yale campus? >> reporter: that is -- that was another case, yeah, at yale. nancy, one thing i did want to point out is the building, officials here have been saying, this is one of the newer buildings in the area and that there has been state of the art technology in terms of security cameras.

people here obviously very frightened as you can imagine by this. >> mary, mary, mary, mary, mary, state of the art? bs. bs. target, walmart has better cameras. they're not inside the building. they have nothing inside the building. mary, just off the top of my head, aren't there about 75 cameras and they're all outside the building? >> reporter: exactly right. that's what i was just trying to get at is that there are, yeah, about 75 cameras fixated on that building, but inside in that basement there are no known cameras, surveillance cameras. >> mary, you say inside in the basement there's no surveillance cameras. what about in the rest of the inside of the building? it's my understanding you referred to it as state of the art but they don't have any cameras on the inside. >> reporter: i didn't refer to it. yale officials did.

i asked the yale officials today specifically about the basement, nancy, because we're trying to zone in on what was that evidence that led police to the body in the basement yesterday afternoon behind the wall? and was it a, you know, surveillance camera? because officials have been poring over those surveillance cameras for many days now and that's when i learned that there were no cameras inside that basement facility. >> joining me always, thomas kaplan, editor and chief of "the yale daily news." his newspaper broke the story of the missing student. thomas kaplan, are there video cameras inside the research building? >> no. there are not. there are the 70-something cameras but they're all on the exterior and in the parking garage.

no video evidence inside the building. >> okay. thomas, i believe in my very first jury trial ever which was in about 1997, it was a shop lifting case, even back then a kmart has surveillance inside the building, so how does yale university call this state of the art security when they don't even have cameras in the building? i guarantee you, thomas, that the way they found that girl is by canine cadaver dogs. now, i haven't read that in a wire, but i'm just guessing that the investigators or the yale police didn't find it, that a dog found her. do you know? >> they did use cadaver dogs at the building throughout the week. we don't know specifically if it's the dog that led investigators to the body but we could see dogs going in and out of the building for several days. >> to rupa mick la mainny, our producer on the scene, thank crow for being with us. rupa, of course, everyone is heartbroken for the family and the groom who's literally

basically left at the end of the aisle waiting. i mean, this body was found at nearly the exact same time his wedding was to take place with annie le. so, rupa, what can you tell me? they've had all the video since last week of this false fire alarm going off. everybody rushing out. they knew annie le didn't leave the building. they had the video of every exit. so it takes till sunday to figure out she's in the building? we know she went in. we know she didn't come out. it took till sunday to find her body? >> reporter: that's right, nancy. it took until sunday to find her body. here's why. this is a five-story building including the bamt. mary snow and tom kaplan mentioned there were no sir investigation cameras inside the building. we don't know that that's true. there are some surveillance camera but there are card swiping, security mechanisms through every door on every floor. this is how they're able to determine who went where.

>> that's i think one of the most disturbing things. we're still working in the building. they only closed down the building on sunday and we've been working in there tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday and i was in there saturday as well, so, you know, we were all there and she's still in the basement. ever worn your clothes in the shower? if you're using other moisturizing body washes, you might as well be. you see, their moisturizer sits on top of skin, almost as if you're wearing it. only new dove deep moisture has nutriummoisture,

it's now clear why no one had seen annie le leaving this medical research building last tuesday. she was trapped inside. her body found hidden inside a basement wall. the 24-year-old grad student often worked in a basement lab performing experiments. she was majoring in farm kolg. le was last seen entering the building tuesday, her image captured an security cameras. no one saw her coming out and investigators had been reviewing videos frame by frame and poring over blueprints. they found blood stained clothes inside ceiling tiles. investigators also searching through a recycling plant in hartford, about 40 miles away. they were looking through garbage hauled there from yale. police called it routine. the main focus is the building where le was apparently murdered.

>> detectives and investigators now have a large amount of physical evidence at the scene we're going through to determine if it's linked to this case or not. >> straight back to rupa. standing by there in new haven. rupa, you just suggested that there are video cameras inside the research building. do you have any evidence to support that or are you just blurting it out? >> reporter: i was told that by a contractor that worked in the building on again and off again from february until august. he worked on the various floors. he was not able to tell me whether there were any surveillance camera in the basement. he told me the basement consists of laboratories and offices. in addition to that, other floors in the building had

cameras in certain areas as well as doors going in and out that you could only access using a security identification swipe mechanism. >> to thomas kaplan with "the yale daily news," are there cameras in the building or not? >> i'm not entirely sure about some of the upper floors in the building. i can say unequivocally there are no cameras in the basement. my understanding in talking with university officials is they don't believe that cameras tracked annie inside of the building. all they really have to go off of is swiping the prox card which is recorded in a computer system and also talking to other people in the building who saw her tuesday morning. >> exactly. because that video that -- that still photo we keep showing of her coming in, that's not in the building. that is of her about to go in the building. that's from one of those surveillance cameras on the many, many entrances and exits. i want to talk about the false fire alarm. back to mary snow, the cnn correspondent standing by there at yale medical school. mary, again, thank you for being with us. mary, i'm just wondering if the killer set off the fire alarm to dispose of the body, to move the body.

i don't know why, exactly, he would do it, but tell me what do you know about this fire alarm going off? >> reporter: nancy, that is a very good question because there's been so much focus on that. what we have been able to piece together from people who were in the building is that that fire alarm went off between 12:00 and 1:00 in the afternoon. we last saw annie le in that surveillance picture at about 10:10 a.m. tuesday morning. this would have been two hours after that. yale is saying it was set off by seats in a laboratory. initially they were saying this was last week they were saying of course, everything is now under the microscope and the big question is, of course, was that a distraction and that is something that has not been answered. >> mary, so what i'm understanding is she's there alive at 10:10.

as my understanding, the alarm goes off at 12:45. if the killer set the alarm, we know two things. she's dead at 12:45 or is about to be dead at 12:45, and that the killer would know how to work one of those laboratory hoods to set off the steam, to set off the fire alarm. everybody you're seeing photos of annie le and her fiance from facebook. what about that, mary snow? >> reporter: there is a lot of questions about that. was this some kind of distraction? one thing we don't know for certain, nancy, is what time she was killed. that is one big question mark. also, you know, as of tonight we still don't know exactly how she was murdered. you know, so many people who have been on this campus who was in that building, they didn't think anything of it initially,

of course, last week, but now they're re-examining that and asks, you know, could that play a factor in all of this? >> it's just really sad. it's really sad. i'm just going down to get some lunch and just to see that it could happen, like daylight, to anybody, it is a scary situation. ♪ when you take a bigger, thicker slice of the best potatoes, people notice. introducing alexia crunchy snacks. a giant leap for snack kind.

out to carol in california. hi, carol. >> caller: hi, nancy. i was thinking about the fact that, perhaps, this could be an employee or a maintenance person. they would need access to the lab. whoever did this, whether they knew annie, or, you know, like i say, they were maintenance, they did a lot of research before they murdered this girl. they would even have to know the interior of the walls, the ceiling tiles. that's not something the average student or person would think about when they're in a class and then as you say, too, it seems that the opportune time that alarm went off. >> carol, you're absolutely correct. who would know about that spot, that area in the basement, where you could hide a body? who would think hiding bloody clothes? we've been told they are not the victim's. that leads me to believe they may belong to an attacker, in a

ceiling behind a ceiling block. it's someone that really thought it through. everybody, you are seeing know foes of annie le and her fiance from facebook. i want to find out more. let me two to you, thomas kaplan, with "the yale daily news," about construction workers. were there construction workers allowed in the building? >> well, it's not immediately clear who might have had access. generally speaking, however, what i think is so scary to people here on campus is the fact to get into the basement you needed to have a yale i.d. card. to get into specific parts of the basement, you had to be one of the few researchers allowed down there. it seems clear, likelier than not, this was a member of the yale community who did this. >> everybody, you're seeing private home video of annie le in 2005 from abc's "good morning america." kaplan, how can it not be clear if there are construction workers in the building?

>> well, there are some provisions to allow contractors access to research buildings and that hasn't been disclosed by police officials here whether any had access. >> if they did have access, thomas, if they did have access, would they have to use those security cards or could they come and go freely? >> no, they would have to use a security card so there would be a record of them.

it was last tuesday when annie le, yale university medical student and pharmacology student left her office just a few minutes up the sidewalk, walked along this sidewalk to her laboratory, 10:00 in the morning. this is the laboratory she conducted experiments on animals, that sort of thing. it is right here, the laboratory, where the front entrance located on amanstad streets is where she entered. normally this is the only entrance available to student, faculty, professor, workers and employees to the building. it's the only.

there are several other doors on other parts of the building that you can exit. they are all locked and the main entrance out front you must require your student identification. now, annie left her office down the street with only her student i.d. she left her purse, her cell phone, her keys, everything behind except for that. the surveillance cameras caught her arriving at this building in the main entrance approximately 10:00. not seen leaving. >> a security camera captured annie le walking into the yale research facility. there was no picture of her coming out which helped focus the search for her body. there are more than 70 cameras outside that building, but a yale spokesman tells us there were no cameras inside the building in that basement where annie le's body was found. >> welcome back. we are taking your calls live. straight out to special guest,

vanessa flores, very dear friend of annie le. vanessa, thank you for being with us. >> thank you, nancy. >> her wedding was set for what time on sunday? >> 11:30 in the morning. >> how did she have it planned out? tell me about the wedding. >> so she -- she was just so excited about this wedding and everything from, you knows, her flowers to her wedding dress, just certain details about it, like, like we talked about this back in, like, 2000 -- i would say 2008 she was already thinking about the weather, whether june, july was going to be too august, august, so september would have been nice. so there was just so many things she thought about because this was her dream day and so annie was really looking forward to this and, of course, every one of us was, too. >> vanessa flores is with us, a

very dear friend of annie le's, found dead in a yale university research building in a crime that seemingly has baffled police. vanessa, tell me, what were her -- what were the details of the wedding? where did she get her dress? who were her bridesmaids? was her family going to be there? >> of course, like, her family, you know, is traveling from california. she had many friends coming over from different places. she had dear friends from university of rochester, also from, of course, yale, brother was coming from pittsburgh. asides the specifics of the wedding per se, i didn't participate in that so i wouldn't be able to tell you where exactly she got her dress or so. like, i'm a medical student and so we, like, annie and i we kept pretty much in touch and i kind

of talked to her about stuff like music and vendors, you know, sort of things that maybe i could chip in on. my time was just so difficult to -- i just started third year. so i wasn't able to really participate. >> tell me about her as a medical student. was she devoted? did she spend a lot of hours there in the research building? >> she's a ph.d. student, so she was doing a doctorate in pharmacology. so, right, absolutely, annie spent time, well, she takes classes and then she would spend time in the lab, so it's kind of like a mixed time. but annie was very dedicated. i mean, ever since i met her she -- her code for ethics, for professionalism is such that, you know, she really enjoyed doing her work well so she was

someone that, i mean, her friend would always say he felt like he could trust her completely and she was so wonderful to have in the lab because she was so hard working but at the same time so wonderful and outgoing. just excited about research. >> was she a medical student or a pharmacology student or both? >> she was doing her doctorate for pharmacology. she was working at the medical school in yale. so it's -- so she's not a medical student, like, she's not going for a doctor of medicine, if that's what you're asking, no. she's a ph.d. candidate, so for a doctorate, yes -- >> in pharmacology. >> right. exactly. right. right. >> with me is vanessa flores, a friend of annie le's, also met there in the medical school there, herself. with me right now, tracy sergeant, she is with us with

cinco, canine handler. you've been seeing home video of annie le back in 2005 from abc's "good morning america." tracy, explain to me how the cadaver dogs operate and go ahead and do your demonstration. >> yes, ma'am. essentially these dogs are detection dogs. in this case these dogs are trained to find human remain scent. we're going to show you a demo on how this works. what we're doing here is having him check the different items. he's telling us one is something there. in this case, cadaver. or is there nothing there which is always just as important. he's already told us none of these items smell like a human remain. we're going to have him check this. so what he's telling us here by what we call his trained alert, he's telling me there is human remain scent in this area. at that point we will reward the dog.

from there the investigators should follow-up on where the dog's alert and then in this case i'll show you where the box -- what's in the box. i'll need to give the dog back to someone because he will alert to that again. >> and while you're walking, tracy, do they ever mistake human remains for animal remains or some other dead matter? >> essentially dogs, their noses are so sensitive that it is a situation where when they alert to something, in this case, cadaver scent, they're very, very accurate. of course, there's always those days where they might be having a bad day, but their accuracy is just incredible and very, very reliable dogs in any kind of detection work. what we have here is material, this is actually a sheet that has been taken from a cadaver, so there is cadaver scent. here in the studio you can smell it a little bit when i took it out of the box.

this is what would happen at the site with the cadaver dogs once they alert in an area. the investigators would follow-up and say, wow, the dogs are telling us there's something here. they smell the cadaver scent and would be checking in the room. in this case it's very unusual that the body was found behind -- >> tracy, before you open up the box, you could not smell the scent? >> that's correct. that's correct. >> okay. everybody, we are taking your calls live. unleash the lawyers. felony prosecutor eleanor dixon out of atlanta. atlanta defense attorney peter odum. joining us out of new york, defense attorney bradford cowen. eleanor, do you have concerns with the investigation? >> yes, nancy. one of the concerns is to make sure you close loopholes. these cards students and faculty have to swipe to get into and out of the building into rooms, umts to make sure somebody didn't swipe it, hey, let me let

my friend in, i recognize them. you want to make sure everyone is accounted for. >> you want to make sure nobody was missing their card. this could be someone completely unassociated with the university that had someone else's card that hasn't been discovered yet. we haven't heard talk about that and i don't know why. >> i find it unusual it would be someone that had nothing to do with her. i think they're on the right track. i think they probably do have a suspect. they're not going to name him right now. i'm sure they do. i find it hard to believe it was someone who discovered this area to put the body behind, to find the area to put the clothes behind. i would think that would be very unusual. >> everyone, quick break. we're taking your calls live. we're live in new haven, tonight. safety tips. protect yourself on cruises. before you sail check out the cruise line's report card. food preparation, water quality, hygiene. cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough. cruise ships are populated and semienclosed. it's easy for viruses to spread. watch what you eat, what you drink. people experiment on cruises with food and drink.

major developments in the disappearance of that yale grad student, annie le. police found a body stuffed inside a wall at the lab building where she was last seen. le was supposed to be married yesterday. the case is being treated as a homicide investigation. >> the big news today, obviously, the fact the body was officially identified as annie le. >> detectives are zeroing in on bloody clothes left at the crime scene left inside ceiling tiles. police say her murder was not random. she was targeted. >> one thing we do know, luckily for investigators, 70 surveillance cameras around this building and key cards required

to enter the basement where her body was found. which means that the combination of those two things, the surveillance tape as well as the computer record of who swiped their cards, where, should give investigators an idea of who was where and when in that building on tuesday. >> back out to mary snow, cnn correspondent joining us live at yale medical school. mary, i detect an inconsistency. if they say they don't have a suspect, then how did they know that other people are not in danger? that doesn't fit together. for them to announce, hey, everybody, don't worry, you're safe. how do they know that unless they know who the suspect is? >> reporter: exactly, nancy. and that is something that's been echoed by many here on this campus. the fact there hasn't been this call to be careful about someone who's on campus, has certainly led many to believe this is an

inside job. nobody is going to be surprised if it is an inside job, and police, you know, have, as you said, have been adamantly saying that they have no suspects in custody, but also, you know, the fact that the medical examiner did not reveal the cause of death right now also leads you to believe that, perhaps, if -- it just leads you to believe they're making -- >> you know what, mary? mary? i don't like it. i don't like it because i feel that they are misleading the public and they are twisting the truth. if they have a person of interest, you know what? fine. spit it out. don't tell everybody you're safe, you're safe, you're safe, but we don't have a suspect. because that's clearly inconsistent. everyone you're seeing home video of annie le from 2005 from abc's "good morning america." let me talk mary snow, again, joining us from new haven.

it seems to me the first thing i heard is, oh, there's construction workers. yeah, let's push it off on them. i'm not buying into that. that may very well turn out to be the case, but let's not forget who would have known this building so well, who would enter known about the basement, who would have had -- somebody earlier, maybe it was rupa who said you have to have key access down to the basement, other than a co-worker? one of the yale family. >> reporter: right. someone who knew that area very well and could gain access to that area. so you're absolutely right. that's why so many people here agree with you is, you know, they think that all evidence is pointing toward an inside job. >> everyone, joining me right now is a very special guest,

esteemed forensic scientist, he is known worldwide. he is a distinguished professor at university of new haven. we all know dr. henry lee. dr. lee, it is wonderful to see you again. i only wish it was in person. dr. lee, what would forensic investigators be holding back right now? why would they hold back cause of death? >> well, they're not really holding back. basically right now they have to confirm. they have so much evidence to look at. basically this is a three-prong approach of the investigation. one is look at videotape, look at electronic card entry, second one is look at the timeline analysis. 10:10 she was saw. did she have a particular reason to two to the bachlt and what the routine she does? the third one, of course, whether or not she was sexual asalted. if it was sexual assaulted, dna of that.

whether her fingernails have tissue material. some individual have some type of injury. of course, her clothes. where's her clothes? any knife injury or any damage? and clothing found in the tile, those have to test whose blood is it? any touch dna? of course, people have to understand, say, her body was found inside the wall. it's kind of misleading because a lot of basement have false ceiling, false wall. in between the wall, actually a little closet to hide the electric wire, plumbing. more likely she was found there. as far as videotape, i don't know. you know, many institutions, faculty, student, have an inside monitor to put in the classroom or the office.

whether or not yale is one of those institutions, maybe that's the reason no camera inside. >> well, dr. lee, even if cameras were not inside the actual laboratories they could be in the hallways of the buildings. i mean, there's a lot of ways to get around having a camera inside the classroom. dr. henry lee, if the bloody clothing, they're saying they're not linking it to the victim yet, if it is linked to the perpetrator -- if it is linked to the killer, then you've got to have his dna on file before you can make a comparison unless you get ahold of the suspect. >> exactly. then you have to look at the suspect and ask him for a search warrant or volunteer to provide a saliva sample to do the dna. this takes a couple of days to clear up the issue. dna, not like "csi," by the next 14 minutes you get the answer. >> exactly. dr. jeff gardere, weigh in.

>> this is a situation where i think a lot of people feel that perhaps the school is not honest with them in that they're saying, hey, everything is safe. you're okay. i think this may be a misguided attempt on the part of the university to calm the students down, but they're students but they're still young adults, still adults, so they have do the right thing. end urks we are talking your calls live. happen yu birthdy birthday. he co kraut created the show wa when. he is going home tonight to kiss husband two boys and wife good night. mr. dean, i would call that a happy birthday, friend.
