Who is Ray Clark, Alleged Murderer of Yale Student Annie Le?

Ray Clark Was Charged Today In The Murder of Annie Le, Who Was Set to Be Married Last Weekend

Conflicting images of accused murderer Raymond Clark III are emerging in the wake of his arrest in the strangulation of Yale grad Annie Le.

There is the Ray Clark his high school friends remember: competive baseball player who was respectful of authority, volunteered to help the homeless and raised money for cancer stricken patients. He was also a member of the Asian Awareness Club.

Others, mostly those from more recent days, saw a darker side of the 24-year-old Clark: withdrawn, officious at work, and very controlling of his fiance. There is even a police report suggesting that Clark was once menacing enough for his high school girlfriend to call the cops.

Ryan Santoro, who says he's known Clark since they were both 12 and played on a Little League baseball team together in Branford, Conn., said that he never thought of Clark as someone who would be involved in a murder case.

"I never would have thought that he would have done anything like this," said Santoro, who played alongside Clark for five years. "Most of the guys we played with are pretty shocked at the [accusations against Clark]."

Santoro described Clark as a "pretty good ballplayer" who had a competitive streak.

"He cared about winning," said Santoro. "He wouldn't have played if he didn't."

Asked whether he recalls Clark having a short fuse on the field or off, Santoro said "no."

"He was a pretty nice kid," said Santoro. "He was very good with people who were older, he respected authority."

" The press is going to have to keep digging until they can show that he was in some way conservative. "
And they will stop looking after they find out he is a liberal Democrat Obama voter.

No kidding. Whitey could never get away with 99% of the crap out there.

With 2 billion people in China alone I have to wonder about someone who joins an Asian Awareness Club. sort of funny...I mean how long could one of these meetings last and what could they possibly talk about?

I suspect she turned him away romantically...he felt scorned.

I went to this HS. No Asian Awareness Club when I was there. Lots of marxist teachers however. We joked about them as the school changed over one summer. They were the teachers who came down the Ho Chi Minh Trail. We went from a dress code and normal classes to rap sessions in a basement and a “modular” system which allowed me game it to spend 4 hours or less a day in school.

...They might have been aware he was a suspect...

I suppose that is correct. Police probably interviewed them prior to the arrest.

A Yale student worker?

He is a janitor who cleans animal cages.

I’m guessing that Asians assimilate very well into US society often out whiteing whitey.

My guess is that the asian awareness club is to remind asians that their cultural roots are there and can be a useful addition to american society.

But I’m guessing.

Martha Moxley comes to mind.

The Skaekel slime murdered her and got away with it for a long time.

May he rot in jail for all time.

Yes, a worker; I don’t even know if he was a student. He might have already graduated. They’re both 24.
