No surprise here. Yesterdays "person of interest" Raymond Clark is today’s "suspect" and was arrested in the case of the brutal strangulation of Annie Le.
Nee Haven cops picked up Raymond Clark III out of a Super 8 motel 830 AM today and put into an unmarked police car, stopping traffic as they transported the murder suspect to the police station.
"Based on numerous interviews, forensic evidence, and information learned from viewing video surveillance, detectives have secured the arrest warrant for Clark," New Haven Police Chief James Lewis told media.
Chief Lewis also said forensics determined Le was not sexually assaulted and called her death a case of "workplace violence."
While awaiting further DNA testing, police made the arrest based on compelling circumstantial evidence.
There are no other suspects, Lewis also said, and would not respond to queries as to possible causation of the crime.’
Annie Le’s body was found jammed into a crawlspace on Sunday after being reported missing for several days and official cause of her death was "traumatic asphyxiation due to neck compression" i.e. strangulation.
