“There are no suspects in custody,” wrote Avery, who has been besieged by national media swarming into town. “Right now we are waiting for the Medical Examiner to positively
identify the body.”

Out-of-town news organizations have issued a flurry of unsubstantiated stories attributed to anonymous sources since the 24 year-old Le, a third-year doctoral student in pharmacology at Yale School of Medicine, went missing last Tuesday. One, the New York Post, reported that her body was found in a Hartford dump. The body was found Sunday, her planned wedding day, inside a mechanical chase at 10 Amistad St., a Yale medical building where Le did some lab research.

Rumors have been flying through town and through the press corps Monday about potential suspects interviewed by police. Officials have not confirmed any of the reports, though they say detectives have interviewed hundreds of people.
