New Details Emerge About Clark's Personality

Raymond Clark is spending his first full day in a high-security prison, refusing to talk to cops about the crime for which he stands accused: the killing of Yale grad student Annie Le. But a picture of Clark is emerging as an overbearing "control freak" who was upset with Le's handling of the mice in the lab where they both worked.

Clark's co-workers at a Yale University laboratory told police that Clark would have confrontations with scientists and viewed the lab as his territory, a source told The Associated Press, leading police to question if a workplace fight led to Le's death.

Le, 24, was found dead in the wall of a Yale University building where both she and Clark worked. Police found the body Sunday, the day she was supposed to get married. The Connecticut medical examiner said the cause of death was strangulation.

The New York Daily News reported today that investigators found Le's blood on Clark's boots, and tests identified his DNA on Le's body and clothing.

Sources tell ABC News that Clark had communicated by email or text message with Le at some point upset about the conditions of the mice cages in the lab suggesting that the two of them meet. New Haven's Police Chief James Lewis wouldnot elaborate on any communications between the two, only to say he does not believe that they ever had any kind of romantic relationship.

has learned that some time before her disappearance, Clark has texted or emailed Le complaining about the conditions that she left the mice cages in. In one message, Clark told Le, "We need to meet," sources said.

This is stupid. So what? Everyone knows a control freak or two. Does that mean they are going to kill someone?

This sounds like feminist drivel to me.

True, but this guy is probably way beyond the everyday freaks that we know.

Like everything else, it’s a matter of degree.

Some have worse tempers than others. But some go off the scale.

We all get depressed. But some jump off bridges.

Maybe this guy was increasingly controlling and finally did the ultimate control on someone who wasn’t toeing his line.

I don’t think this was a “workplace” incident at all.

I think we will find out that this freak is an animal rights activist who took the job to disrupt any and all research he could.
He also has other family members who work at Yale, in similar jobs.

The animal rights activists think nothing of killing anyone they want to ‘save the animals’.

I know of them cutting fences at ranches 21 years ago in N Calif to “let the cows be free’. A number of bad cow/vehicle interactions later, there were dead cows all over the place, and dead/hurt people involved.

Same group was putting railroad spikes into trees marked for cutting for timber. Loggers would hit the spike with their chain saws, chain would break and whip around and kill the logger.

They are a horrid bunch of crazies.

This lady is just their latest victim.

We’ll see if I am correct.
