Final Annie Le Warrant To Be Unsealed On Monday

New details in the killing of Yale grad student Annie Le may be revealed Monday, as a judge has ordered a final search warrant affidavit to be opened to public view.

Superior Court Judge Roland Fasano issued a memorandum Tuesday afternoon calling for a 10th search warrant affidavit to be unsealed in the case of Raymond Clark. Clark, a former Yale lab tech, was charged Sept. 17 with strangling Le and hiding her body in a Yale lab building where they both worked.

Fasano’s ruling concerns a final search warrant executed on or about Nov. 30, after Clark’s arrest. The document has remained under seal at the request of the defense.

Fasano has redacted the affidavit and placed it under seal for three more days to allow for appeals. That means barring any objections, the document will be available Monday morning, according to a court spokeswoman.

Fasano unsealed redacted versions of other search warrant affidavits in Clark’s case in December. The documents revealed a trove of new information on what led police to justify searching the body and possessions of 24-year-old Clark in the days leading up to his arrest. They revealed, for example, that police claimed they found blood in plain view” on the kitchen floor of Clark’s Middletown apartment.

Fasano said he has redacted limited portions of the 10th search warrant affidavit, as he did with prior affidavits. He removed specific, offending material.” He didn’t publicly state why he was redacting those portions, because doing so would reveal the substance of the redactions.

Clark entered a pro-forma not guilty plea on Jan. 26 to two charges of murder and felony murder. His next court date is April 7.
