lab and the mice he took care of. >> being reported that he who maintained the cages and animals was upset at her, annie le, because she was leaving her cage in disorder or dirty. it's being reported there was a text message the morning of the day she went missing asking her to meet with him at the lab. >> arrested and brought into court facing a murder charge at just 24, the police chief makes it clear the lab where they both worked is where the violence was born. >> straight out to thomas kaplan, editor in chief with "the yale daily news." what can you tell us about the possibility that there was an accomplice? >> well, that's what some reports have indicated today. now, we did hear from police yesterday. they said they have no additional suspects and they indicated that they don't really anticipate having any further suspects. so the police have kind of put cold water on that, but there have been some reports today. so we don't really know right now, nancy. >> now, what i want to talk

about very quickly is the dna result. out to jean casarez, legal correspondent, "in session," i'm understanding that he was seen frantically trying to clean his own cleaning equipment. he was responsible for cleaning the experimental mouse cages and other cleaning in and around the research area. he was the lab technician. i understand that her dna is on his cleaning equipment and what he was trying to clean away was her blood? >> it's really interlocking today, surfacing that when investigators realized that annie le was missing and they went to the lab building and they were talking to people that routinely were at the lab building and at least one investigator noticed someone that seemed to be trying to take cleaning equipment and put it away. it was later found there was blood spatter on that cleaning equipment and that was raymond clark. >> what about the rest? everyone, you're seeing photos

of suspect, raymond clark, from myspace. jean casarez, what can you tell me about other reported dna results? >> well, in the ceiling tile, we heard originally there was bloody clothes. now we're hearing there was dna of annie le and dna of raymond clark and also in that crawl space, in the closet where her body was found, there was dna of raymond clark, especially a green pen that he adored, apparently. he used to sign with it every day. sign into work. it was his green pen. everyone knew he always used it. >> to rupa mcl lainny, our producer at the police station there in new haven. rupa, about these allegations that the entire motive they have been over mice cages? >> reporter: that's right, nancy. there are reports out there that are coming from other media sources that there had been an e-mail chain prior to this week, in the past between them, about her level of taking care of the

animals, the mice in the cages. then, most recently, that morning that she went over to the amistad laboratory building, she received a text message supposedly from him asking her to come over and meet her to talk about this. >> to errol jones, reporter, he was in court when he appeared in court. he is there at the police station joining us tonight. al, i understand that immediately after this story happened, after this really kidnap an murder went down, yale issues a policy about zero tolerance of harassment in the workplace. now i'm hearing reports that for a long time this guy has been a, quote, control freak, driving everybody crazy. now we find out about repeated text messages to the 90-pound victim about how she cleaned the mice cages? >> yeah. we're hearing a little bit of conflicting information on that. you have the story from investigators who paint raymond

clark as someone who guarded his turf very jealously. that basement lab area was his area and he felt like he was in control of it. he became very irritated when researchers would leave a mess. >> okay. hold on, hold on. al, i'm having a really hard time hearing you. let me go quickly to jean casarez. jean, do you know anything about this alleged motive? >> well, i think they're saying now that they're not sure of the motive. if you look at the text messages, which i'm sure are part of the search warrant that are still sealed, there are allegations that he was upset at her because she as a laboratory scientist was not keeping the area as clean as it should have. that was raymond clark's duty, and there may have been issues between the two of them on his part. raymond clark's in regard to annie le. >> everyone, you are seeing video, you are seeing raw footage of him in court. still dressed in his preppy khaki pants and his polo shirt.

to you, sheryl mccollum, crime analyst, what do you think police have against him? >> they're stacking up some beautiful pieces, nancy. first, he failed the polygraph. he hid some bloody clothes. he has his dna in two separate places that match he and the victim. 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, a breakthrough formula with natural moisturizers... that can nourish deep down. it's the most effective natural nourishment ever. new dove deep moisture with nutriummoisture.

with his head bowed, ankles in shackles, 24-year-old raymond clark iii was brought before a judge and charged with the stranges murder of yale graduate student annie le.

>> the body of annie le his alleged victim described as a brilliant student was found inside a wall on sunday on what would have been her wedding day. >> what kind of relationship did raymond clark iii have with the victim, annie le? >> the police chief did say about the relationship was that it was not a romantic relationship, calling it -- >> an issue of workplace violence. >> he was a lab technician who cleaned cages for laboratory mice that were used in that lab. she, a ph.d. student who did research in that lab. >> apparently he was very concerned about how people kept their mice, their cages. there have been some reports that he got very upset when people wouldn't wear plastic booties into the lab or when people wouldn't keep their cages clean. and there's some thought that maybe that contributed here to why he might have had a problem with annie. >> i want to go straight back to thomas kaplan, editor in chief "yale daily news," who broke the story of the missing student. thomas, what can you tell me? have we gotten to the truth finally about who set off that

fire alarm? >> no, nancy, unfortunately no news there tonight. there have been some reports addressing that maybe raymond clark did set off the alarm to give him an excuse to leave the building after he killed annie le, allegedly. but no official information from police on what happened there. >> what about it, rupa? what do we know? >> reporter: nancy, there have been -- there's been a lot of speculation from various people in various law enforcement agencies. what i've been told by chief lewis with the new haven police department is they are still unsure whether he tripped that alarm on purpose. but i believe that the connecticut state police is still investigating this. >> well, according to "the daily news," they have a source inside the police department that states police now believe raymond clark tripped the fire alarm. now, that would suggest to me -- let's unleash the lawyers. anne bremner, high-profile lawyer out of seattle,

christopher amolsch, defense attorney out of washington, d.c. anne bremner, if it can be proved that he tripped the fire alarm, there goes all of his claim for insanity, his claim for crime of passion in the heat of a moment, in the middle of an argument. because he is laboriously and methodically covering his tracks. >> well, that's a great argument, nancy. when i listened to your intro, i felt like as a defense attorney if i was sitting in court i'd be thinking, oh, case over. but the thing is, this is so weird, of mice and murder. he's worried about the mice cages? he's upset to point of going to kill somebody? i think in this case there's more to be seen in terms of what's going on in his noggin. this will be a weirdest motive for homicide if this is a motive for homicide. therefore, i think this could be some kind of mental defense. >> okay. i think that was you answering

that question by claiming -- >> it was. >> -- that even though he methodically hided body, was seen cleaning his own cleaning equipment that was spattered with her blood and he set off a false fire alarm to evacuate the building, according to "the daily news," and hide the body, that he's still crazy. now, you know what? christopher amolsch, if you can pull all that off in the middle of yale university in a building that is high-tech security, you're not crazy. >> well, i think there's a different obviously between being insane as a defense and having mental issues, which is a mitigation as it relates to sentence. you're probably not going to be able to find him not guilty based on that, but you could probably find him guilty of something less than first-degree murder and maybe spare him, you know, a life in prison. >> based on what? you said something less than murder one based on that. what is "that," sir? >> well, what you're pointing at is all the things he did afterwards, which really doesn't go to what his state of mind was when he committed the crime.

>> it's within the same hour. it's not like he went insane and then got well. >> we don't know exactly when he was killed. we do know that afterwards he took steps to try to hide his crime, assuming he did it. that doesn't mean the time he didn't he wasn't operating under some sort of mental deficiency. >> i can't let you get away with that, christopher amolsch, because we know for a fact she was murdered and murdered within 10:00 to 11:00, 12:00 to 1:00, three hours. within a three-hour space. a quarter of one, less than three hours. so he goes crazy and then he gets well in 2 hours and 45 minutes? >> nobody is saying he's getting well. the difference between what you do now and three hours later when you realize the horrible mistake you made absolutely goes to the level of culpability. >> could you put amolsch back on the screen, please, immediately? did you say mistake, his horrible mistake, like oops? >> no, i didn't say that. >> you did say mistake. >> i don't think that's what i said. >> yes, you did. you said horrible mistake.

>> i'll say what i said again. what he did was, after -- well, people can be guilty, nancy, while making bad choices, and i think that's what happened in this case. raymond clark allegedly had a propensity for violence. according to a 2003 police report, cops were called to the school in the wake of a dispute with his then-boyfriend. quote, she stated she had been having a sexual relationship with him and that at one time he did force her to have sex with him. no charges were ever filed. the relationship continued afterwards. as washington continues the debate

one of the ways that police zeroed in on him, that they followed the computerized swipes of his i.d. card and her i.d. card. >> sheryl mccollum, a cold case expert, crime scene analyst, has brought up an excellent point. out to you, al jones, he has alleged defensive wounds, scratches, bruises, abrasions on his chest, his back, arms, face, right ear. now, this little girl, this woman, 90 pounds, not even 5 feet, unless he tried to sexually molest her, what was he doing without a shirt on? how could she in any configuration get back to scratch his back or chest if he had his shirt on? he's 5'9" and weighs about 190 pounds. >> well, nancy, the time that we got the best look at him, we could not tell if he had any scratches on his chest or arm. this was when he was walked into court with leg shackles. we could see he had tattoos on his arms.

he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and he had a slight bruise under his left eye. but as far as scratches on his chest, his neck, his arms, we couldn't make that out in court. >> let's go to self-defense trainer megan gilroy. she's going to give us a quick demonstration. megan, he's got scratches, abrasions, bruises on his chest, the skin on his chest and back. that has been reported. what do you believe about these so-called defensive wounds? >> well, i believe that it probably signifies that at some point in the struggle he was straddling her. and because she had relatively short arms, she probably could not reach his eyes but could reach areas like the chest, the arms, and the back possibly even as high as the nose. >> but philip messina, he had to have his shirt off for her to scratch his back and chest that way.

>> that's why i say at some point. i believe there was probably things that happened before that. but at some point he was maybe attempting to do something sexual or just attempting to finish the job. but at some point in order for him to have scratches on the chest, the arms and the back especially, those are areas that one could reach if someone was sitting on top of you and you couldn't reach their eyes or their face. >> we'll be back with philip messina, president of the modern warrior defense tactics institute.

mr. clark has been a lab technician at yale since december 2004. nothing in the history of his employment here gave any indication that his involvement in such a crime might be possible. >> 24-year-old le was strangled to death. >> her body was found in the building she was last seen entering. >> stuffed in a two-foot wall cable space. >> police say that this arrest warrant has been sealed and because of that they did not speak about the motive. >> apparently he had certain

standards and he was concerned that she wasn't taking good enough -- clean enough care of the animals. >> based on what we've heard so far, his issues of control. if she confronted him or criticized him in some way or even this e-mail exchange where he -- she wasn't doing things the way that he wanted her to -- >> there is a rage there. there is a very controlling and absolutely from everything that we've learned about him, there's definitely, you can see it. he's definitely very focused. >> joining us right now is renowned forensic scientist, world renowned, distinguished professor at university of new haven, dr. henry lee. henry, thank you for being with us. my first question is -- >> thank you, nancy. >> -- if clark did try to clean up, how could you tell? how could you tell by looking at the dna, by looking at the blood

markings, that he was actually trying to clean up? how do you know the difference between a cleanup and blood spatter? >> okay. the blood spatter usually have defined characteristics, have shape and patterns. cleanup usually considers a smudge. if you use water or cleaning solution, now it become a diluted. we as experienced easily to tell. to say i don't understand, your report say police officers saw him clean his cleaning bottles. if the police officer saw him cleaning, should right away stop him, seize the evidence, and the blood spatter, which of course we can use hemorrhaging to restore the pattern to determine that's a drop or a medium-velocity impact spatter, even the impact spatter, then have to have another type of a

traumatic force cause some bleeding. >> so, dr. lee, my simple rudimentary interpretation of what you said is, with blood spatter, now a theory is emerging that he struck her before the strangulation. that could explain some of the blood. you would see as if you had paint on your hand and did like that on the wall. >> yes. >> as compared to cleaning it. you would see a smudge mark where -- >> right. >> okay. i got it. very quickly, dr. henry lee, can you get rid of dna with, for instance, a cleaning solution? >> yes, in fact, yes. uv light can destroy some dna evidence and bleach solution can

destroy some evidence. however, what this case so important is his clothing, boots, from her dna. >> exactly. >> her clothing from his dna, depends on the inner layer or outer layer of clothing. the most inner layer clothing on his dna become even more important. >> to a neighbor of raymond clark's, annmarie goodwin, a special guest joining us tonight from camden, connecticut. thank you for being with us, ms. goodwin. what was your impression of him? how stunned were you when you heard this news? >> i was shocked, but knowing him like i did, which wasn't that well, i believe that he could have done it. >> why do you say that? >> just because he seemed like the type of person that could snap at any minute. >> has it ever been reported that he had a controlling personality, a control freak? >> yeah. i've said that. i said, i know him to be controlling with his girlfriend. >> in what way?

>> just bossing her around, telling her to, come on, hurry up. like, if he dropped his keys, i've seen him drop his keys, she'd bend down to get them. she always walked behind him. that type of thing. >> huh. and you personally observed that? >> yeah. they had to walk by my door twice a day, coming in, coming out, every time they left their house. >> and what, exactly, would he say and do? >> he was just a very negative person. every time -- i've never seen him say a positive thing. he wouldn't stop to say hello to you. he yelled at my son one time. >> about what? >> trash being in the hallway. >> how old is your son? >> i have three sons. the son that he yelled at at the time was 16. >> huh. now, when you first learned that he had been charged with murder, what was your initial reaction? >> i knew that guy was a weirdo.

>> well, that says it in a nutshell, ms. goodwin. i want to ask you an evidentiary question. did he, in fact, live with pets? >> yes. in fact, he had two pit bulls he left locked upstairs in like -- you know those metal dog cages? he used to leave them locked up in the summer months, all day long, barking and yelping. >> well, first reports were that he had three cats. >> i know. my son, taylor, said that. and to this day he swears he had cats. i never seen any cats. will i'm not saying he didn't have cats. >> well, you know what? if he doesn't have to cat, he better get one. he told police all the defensive wounds on him was because of cats. you're seeing photos of raymond clark. we're speaking with annmarie goodwin, a neighbor of raymond clark's. to melissa vranich, psychologist joining us from new york.

what's your take on it? >> i've been on the edge of my seat, nancy, thank you. i are to disagree this has anything to do with mice or clean booties or control. we're talking about a really disturbed, twisted individual who has a history of misogynistic behavior. so my focus is completely different as a psychologist. >> what would you say the motive is? >> i think he has a history of hating women and in this case he called her in to be able to hurt her and possibly kill her. so this does not have anything to do with mice and doesn't have anything to do with control. it has to do with anger and someone who has a really twisted, twisted, disturbed personality. >> to al jones, what can you tell me about that green signature ink pen and how his favorite pen plays into a murder investigation? >> well, nancy, investigators believe that one of the ways that raymond clark tried to distinguish his work from that

of other lab techs was to use green ink. he used a green pen to sign in and out of the log each day. now, "the daily news" is reporting a green pen was found in a crevice in the lab room where annie le's body was. in a twist from a macgyver plot, the day after she was reported missing, the day after she was murdered, police noticed that clark was walking around the room and had a backpack. they looked in the backpack and what they found were fishing hooks, wire, and bubble gum. obviously the equipment you'd need to retrieve a pen out of a crevice. >> okay. i'm just trying to soak all of that in, al jones. sheryl mccollum, you and i have handled a lot of cases together. why, why do they always go back to the scene? there could have been a million ways he could have explained away that pen. he was rightfully in the basement on many occasions. >> absolutely. >> but he had to go back with a fish hook and bubble gum? >> yeah. it is mind boggling, nancy, that he would go to that much trouble

to hide bloody clothes in the ceiling, hide her in the wall, but lord knows we've got to go back and get that pen. show and tell... with all the pet hair in the air my eyes would really itch. but now i have new zyrtec® itchy eye drops. no other allergy itchy eye drop works faster or longer. zyrtec® itchy eye drops work fast i can love the air™.

does anything look familiar to you? yeah. i mean, do you recognize anybody around here? do you know -- >> no. >> no? >> very pretty. yeah. >> come on. everyone needs a little sparkle even when you're working on habitat for humanity houses. why not? i'm just doing my job. thank you so much. nice to meet you. thank you for the job that you do. this is one of the makeup artists that transformed me from jaba the hut in the morning to anchorwoman. ♪ so lonely >> forget about my book. let's talk about hers. with me, my friend and colleague robin meade. will you just stop looking beautiful for just one minute? >> nancy!

>> i demanded that they ruin your lighting but apparently it's impossible. >> you're such a doll. thank you. >> this is great. your book, "morning sunshine: how to radiate confidence and feel it too." it was very hard for me to believe, and having been a trained observer since i was in the courtroom many, many years ago, that you have ever had a confidence problem, much less one so severe that you have had panic attacks on air, which i for one have never noticed and the twins and i watch you every morning. never seen any confidence problem. but they were so severe that you sought help and have written this book. >> yeah. this was about ten years ago so it's before i came to hln. for me, my confidence issues were not about appearances. i think a lot of people think, well, if you look a certain way, then you must not have any confidence problems. for me it does. >> are you suggesting that you're beautiful? >> no, not at all. >> okay. >> nancy! i think most people -- >> because you are. okay. >> thank you, sweetheart.

oh, honey, you should see this face before the makeup people get ahold of it. >> so it's not about looks? >> for me it's whether you find my likeable or not, whether the viewers find me likeable or not. this is when i worked in chicago. >> so you wanted to be liked? >> i wanted to be liked. >> see, i don't have that problem. >> therefore, people like you. >> no. actually, a lot of them hate me. but what i thought was, the more you try to please everybody, every time you change something about yourself, you lose a little bit of yourself. >> bingo! that's what happened to me. that's what this book is about. so for me, you know, coming up through the ranks of broadcasting pretty quickly, you go through you a lot of different bosses. but this need to be liked started when i was a child. that was my power. that was my popularity in school, right? so do you like me? if you don't like me, let me make you like me. along the way, you lose little authentic pieces of yourself because you're filling someone else's prescription of what perfection is. so on the air it manifested in panic attacks on live tv about ten years ago. >> and would the viewers

actually know you were having a panic attack? >> i couldn't breathe so it's a little bit hard to deliver the news when you can't talk. so i don't know if they knew what it was, but i know that they probably thought, what is up with her? >> robin, how did you overcome that and become what you are now? because there are so many people that have not only that problem but other problems that they have to surmount in order to survive and reach their dreams. so many dreams are cast aside or forgotten or derailed because of various problems. but you grabbed yours, grabbed the bull by the horns, and you wrestled. >> well, for about two years i wanted to leave my job and i wanted to leave this career. >> i read that. where you said you gave up. >> i really did. and my husband -- >> on page 68. >> thank you for reading it. you know, my husband was one who
