Police in Yale killing stake out hotel room

CROMWELL, Conn. — Police say they’re watching a hotel room in Connecticut where a “person of interest” in the killing of a Yale University graduate student has been staying.

Officers are outside a hotel in Cromwell, about 25 miles north of New Haven. Cromwell Police Capt. Roy Nelson says the officers are helping in the investigation into the death of 24-year-old Annie Le.

Broadcast reports say Yale lab technician Raymond Clark III has been staying at the hotel since being released from police custody early Wednesday. Police have called Clark a “person of interest” in the case and have collected DNA and other physical evidence from him.

Le’s body was found Sunday stuffed into a wall of the lab building where she did research and to which Clark had access.
