Annie Le, 24-Year-old doctoral student at Yale University, went missing a week before her scheduled wedding on Sunday September 13th 2009. She was last seen on Tuesday walking into a research laboratory (in the Yale Medical School complex) around 10 a.m., slightly less than a mile from the main campus. She left her purse, cell phone, credit cards and money at her office and has not contacted any of her family or friends yet.

On Thursday, state police with bloodhounds searched the area where Le was last seen, and authorities were seen searching nearby trash bins. Perotti said the FBI was assisting, and investigators also were reviewing images from closed-circuit cameras. Le's fiance, professors, colleagues, friends and family also were helping, he said. FBI agents were spotted Thursday at her New Haven apartment but declined to comment.

Asked about the possibility of foul play, Yale spokesman Tom Conroy said Thursday, "There's no evidence of it at this time."

Le was excited about getting married and is energetic and conscientious, said Debbie Apuzzo, who works in the pharmacology department.

Le's friend Tara Bancroft said Le had "a lot of good friends, a wonderful fiance she's going to marry on Sunday. We all love her a lot."

Le's Facebook page shows the 24-year-old student posing in wedding dresses and smiling with fiance Jonathan Widawsky, a Columbia University graduate student in physics whom she described as her best friend.

"He's an amazing kid, just a wonderful, wonderful boy and he must be heartbroken," Widawsky's friend Linda Matychack said. "I just can't imagine."
