phil mcgraw, sitting in for larry tonight. now, we begin with the murder at yale and developments in the case against raymond clark, the man charged with murdering grad student annie le. let's get the latest from cnn's randi kaye in new haven, connecticut. randi? >> reporter: dr. phil, we have a lot of new information to share with you tonight. first off, investigators really focused on ray clark after they viewed, i'm told, more than 700 hours of videotape from the lab building's security cameras. and according to our source with good knowledge of this investigation, they saw ray clark on that video, and he really stood out to them. here's why. they say that he left that building after someone, possibly ray clark himself, pulled the fire alarm on the day of the murder. he left that building with his head in his hands, looking distraught. that caught their attention. that same source tells me that clark's dna clearly connects him to the murder scene, indicating that the victim's dna was found on the body of raymond clark. also

phil's reaction.st videos of all time. >> larry: okay, dr. phil, what's the psychological explanation of an occurrence like that? >> larry, obviously the behavior is just despicable. i mean, there's no other word for it. frankly, you just boil it down to simply being a bully. i can name you 10 or 15 people that he wouldn't have gone up and taken that mike from, but he did it with a 17-year-old girl because he could. to take it upon himself and be that insensitive to her, i thought it was just terrible. >> larry: for what gain? >> i think it's all just kind of part of a narcissistic personality pattern. you always have to be the center of attention, you always have to have the spotlight on you. and you have a complete disregard for other people's thoughts or feelings. you have no sensitivities to it. i had people tell me he was drinking on the red carpet. maybe he had kind of dulled his senses. i don't know that. i did talk to taylor today and i talked to her mother, both. i did "the view" earlier toda
