It's creepy, but if it wasn't random, then this kind of thing really could have happened anywhere, at any workplace. It's just shocking that it happened at Yale Medical School.That's insane. How anyone could continue their work at a place like this is just beyond me. Much less even being around the place.
Omfg. I'm sorry, but I have trouble controlling my anger sometimes.. but to get THAT pissed and kill someone? I can't even imagine.
And I hope they catch the second suspect, if there is another.
Theres obviously something not right in your head when your thinking about killing someone.
Why is it that control freaks tend to always look like geeks?Yale suspects work attitude examined
Apparently, according to sources the suspect Raymond Clark III was "a 'control freak' who viewed the laboratory as his territory." Maybe Annie and him had some argument about his maintenance of the lab mice and it ended up infuriated him to the point of killing her, although that hate must've ran deep if he strangled her long enough to suffocate her fatally. Interestingly, he has thus far refused to answer any questions from the police, and that alone doesn't sound like he's someone who's innocent.
Why does he look like a geek? Because he's wearing a polo shirt?Why is it that control freaks tend to always look like geeks?
Update: Raymond Clark pleaded guilty to murder and attempted sexual assault.

There's still no details on why he did it, although we probably have a good idea if there was enough evidence to get him to plead guilty to attempted sexual assault.
It's still rather scary that something like this could happen, especially since I work in a lab too. I have a coworker who always gets unwanted male attention, and I always fear for her because she's pretty fragile physically.
To be fair, he was using a legal option to plead guilty in the interest of the plea agreement while still invoking his innocence. Like, if there's overwhelming evidence that can hurt him in trial, it might be in his best interest to plead guilty even though he can still say he's innocent.I didn't know the killer (we can now stop calling him a suspect) is also guilty of an attempted sexual assault. I guess it wasn't just due to a heated argument or something. I'm glad the case has drawn to a close, and may Anna's soul rest in peace.
