Yale University student, Annie Le's body was found stuffed in the wall of a research building basement. It has now been released that she was strangled. The CNN article, Yale student strangled, medical examiner says, highlights that she has died from "traumatic asphyxia due to neck compression" and a Yale University worker released after recieving DNA request. However, no one has been charged yet. In the News Times article, Technician in custody in Yale grad student slaying, police say that 150 pieces of evidence have been collected from the crime scene and over 700 hours of video footage has been collected. Although the man of interest seemed to have defense marks on him, according to the New York Post, the family say that they are cat scratch marks.
An 18 year old Hofstra University female student was raped on campus around 3 a.m. Four men were arrested and charged. On an article on newsday.com, some students claim that Hofstra didn't inform them about the rape. They learned about the attack on Facebook. Additional information was not given.
These two incidents are tragedies. New Haven and Long Island aren't too far from here. Watching the news on TV while reading these articles and writing my blog, convinces that you are not safe anywhere at all. Yale University is said to be tight knit with suvelience cameras but police are still narrowing down the suspects. This reminds me of the time when I went away for school, y first semester in Southington, my brother bought me pepperspray. Although everyone tries to be safe and defend themself, you can only do so much. I hope police are able to find out and solve both cases. Leave closure for their family, friends and people who have been affected by it.
