Les, yes, I saw that. I also did research on the lab tech himself to see if I could verify any of that. I could not. Although it is curious the Yale page that has his name and Annie Le's on it has been taken down, as was that post on the Register site (where it first appeared). Another site then posted a purported picture of the guy, which I'm pretty sure isn't him (I found the source-- a different Yale lab). The point being that even though the two local papers didn't give the guy's name, they made it easy for others to do so. I don't consider that proper restraint given the magnitude of this case. But, of course, I do hope they have their man.

Raymond Clark III was arrested in the slaying of 24-year-old Annie Le, New Haven Police Chief James Lewis said. He was taken into custody at a hotel where he was staying in Cromwell, Conn., about about 25 miles north of New Haven, and his bond is set for $3 million.

Le was found dead Sunday, her body stuffed in the basement wall of the building where she worked. The state medical examiner had said that Le had been suffocated.

...

Clark's job as an animal services technician at Yale put him in contact with Le, who worked for a Yale laboratory that conducted experiments on mice. She was part of a research team headed by her faculty adviser, Anton Bennett, that focused on enzyme research that could have implications in cancer, diabetes and muscular dystrophy. Members of the team have declined to comment on the case or their work.

As a technician at Yale, Clark helped clean the cages of research animals used by labs around the Ivy League campus and had other janitorial duties, police said. The technicians help tend to rodents, mostly mice, used in experiments and can help with paperwork. Clark, his fiancee, his sister and his brother-in-law all work for Yale as animal lab technicians.
