Police said they found the body on Sunday; it was shoved into a small space meant to conceal pipes and wiring in the basement wall of a Yale laboratory building. They assume it was the body of Annie Le's.
"Detectives have recovered a large amount of physical evidence," said Assistant Chief Peter Reichard with the New Haven Police Department, "We're not releasing any information at this time because we have an ongoing homicide case."
Sources say, police may have a powerful piece of evidence: bloody clothes found stuffed behind ceiling tiles which, do not appear to belong to Le, but may belong to the likely killer.
Le, a 24-year-old graduate student, disappeared Tuesday. She was captured on surveillance cameras entering the lab building but despite more than 70 cameras in the area, there was no picture of her leaving.
Her body was apparently discovered on the very day she was supposed to be getting married. Her fiancé is not a suspect.
