At a press conference outside Woodbridge Hall this evening, officials from the University and law enforcement agencies also confirmed that evidence had been retrieved from the research facility at 10 Amistad St., but said that it had not yet been tied to Le. A New Haven Police Department official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation, said earlier today that bloody clothes and other items had been retrieved from a ceiling in the building, and two Yale Police Department officers said that 10 Amistad St. is now the site of a crime scene.
Still, authorities at the press conference said there was no evidence of foul play in Le’s disappearance.
“We are not in the position today to conclude whether this is a missing person case, or whether criminality is involved,” FBI Special Agent Kim Mertz said. “We have conducted numerous interviews, and I can assure you no lead is going uncovered.”
Media reports emerged on Saturday afternoon that Le’s body had been found inside the Amistad Street building. Those reports were quickly dismissed.
“I will categorically say a body has not been found,” Mertz said
Le started her Tuesday morning working in the Sterling Hall of Medicine, where her lab was located, Yale Vice President and Secretary Linda Lorimer said. Le left the lab around 10 a.m. to walk to 10 Amistad St. three blocks away, where she frequently went to conduct experiments, Lorimer said. A surveillance photograph distributed by the YPD shows Le entering the building at 10 Amistad St. on Tuesday morning. University officials have yet to locate Le exiting the building.
Mertz said Saturday that authorities have spoken to “numerous people” who saw Le inside the facility at 10 Amistad St. but declined to give any further details.
A fire alarm that sounded in the Amistad Street facility at 12:40 p.m. on Tuesday is thought to have been a false alarm, Mertz said. Someone working in the lab produced steam that tripped the alarm, she said.

Opinion piece surveying what no longer works in the U.S., Schell cited areas like the environment, education, and transportation, and found American hopelessness, especially compared to contemporary China.Schell’s “studying of melting glaciers” was likely related to a much-hyped warning from the World Wildlife Fund, which was revealed to be a sham, based on an anecdotal report. But Schell’s warnings, along with his list of American failings, suggest a general ideological bias.
A recent challenge has been identifying the bias of the mainstream media. Oddly enough, exposing ideological bias has long been a favored project in communication studies, usually practiced by leftists. One method, much used by recent multicultural leftists, has held that consciousness and meaning are contingent social constructs. Following such post-modernists as Lyotard, these folks regard discourse as a composite of linguistic, social, and cultural formulations. One need only examine these to reveal the consciousness or mentality of an author or work.
