Yale lab killing was not at random, police say: Police have found the body of Annie Le, stuffed inside a wall. The 24-year-old was reported missing last Tuesday. Police found her body on Sunday, on what was to have been her wedding day. Her fiance, Jonathan Widawsky, planned to marry Le on Sunday in Syosset, N.Y. on Long Island's north shore.

The Yale graduate student presumed to have been killed in her lab building and stuffed into a wall there was probably not the victim of a random act, police said Monday as they sought to ease fears about student safety.

Police found the body around 5 p.m. Sunday, on what was to have been 24-year-old Annie Le's wedding day. She was reported missing Tuesday, and her ID, money, credit cards and purse were found in her third-floor office at the high-security Yale medical school building where the body was found.

An autopsy was under way Monday to verify the identity of the body, found in the wall chase _ an recess where utilities and cables are run. Police would not say Monday whether they have a suspect, but said nobody is in custody.
