[VIDEO] YALE STUDENT MURDERED (9.14.09) - PETER THORNE

(9.14.09)
Struggling to keep her composure and hold back tears, Annie Le's Yale University roommate at tonight's on-campus candlelight vigil honored her friend whose life was so brutally cut short. calling Le "as good a human being as you'd ever hope to meet."

Carrying candles they poured in by the thousands, these heart-broken members of the Yale community. Standing solemnly side by side, their faces said it all about the incomprehensible crime.

This enormous crowd gathering just hours after hearing the shocking news late this afternoon, confirmation of their worst fears that yes it was the body of the missing 24 year old graduate student police found over the weekend on what would have been her wedding day, discovered stuffed inside a basement crawlspace in the laboratory building where she worked.

A security camera photo was among the last images to show her alive.

Police say Le's death was not a random act, so tonight amongst this crowd the lingering questions - who could have killed this much loved young woman and why, was it an inside job, and with a killer possibly loose on this shaken campus students can only hope police quickly close this case.
