<p>Press conference right now by New Haven Police dept. Began at 9:45 pm according to Yale Daily News.</p>
<p>No live blog or Twitter that I can find.</p>
<p>It must be an important update.</p>
<p>The conference will be carried live on CNN.</p>
<p>In one of the links on this thread, I read that according to the landlord, the girlfriend (of the lab tech) was moving stuff out of the apartment she shared with him. She returned on Tuesday with take out food, and the lab tech was there. Now the apartment is empty. Givin this scenario, his card may have been used, but he still may be innocent. Framed, maybe???</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Or just sexual interest and advance that turns ugly.</p>
<p>^I doubt the card alone would make him a person of interest. It’s not like he’s the only person with an access card and the only one that worked in the area.</p>
<p>I am so confused with this whole thing? The pieces of details I am hearing are just not adding up!</p>
<p>It is confusing, and the press conference I just watched make it more so. A person of interest usually get handcuffed? And those 2 doctors on CNN don’t see premeditation. Even considering the change of clothes?</p>
<p>NY Daily News is saying the lab tech has been arrested.</p>
<p>From the story:</p>
<p>"A woman who knew Clark [the lab tech] when he lived in New Haven last year said he screamed at children and was “very controlling” of his girlfriend.</p>
<p>Anne Marie Goodwin, 40, said, “He would never let her talk to anyone. I would hear a lot of yelling upstairs. Ray was very controlling of his girlfriend.”
Clark, who does menial work with animals in a lab that does gruesome animal testing, “kept a pit bull caged in his apartment,” Goodwin said.</p>
<p>“We could hear the dog crying all day while he was at work. He screamed at my 17-year-old son. It was horrifying.”</p>
<p>Clark lives with his girlfriend and the couple shares a MySpace page. Hromadka writes extensively about her “wonderful boyfriend Ray.”</p>
<p>“I love hanging out with Ray’s family (he has a great one) and playing with [his sister] Denise and [her husband] Shawn’s Adorable kids, Caleb and Brielle.”</p>
<p>In May 2008, she blogged about a rumor that Clark was cheating on her with a girl in his Yale lab.</p>
<p>“My boyfriend, Ray, if you don’t know him, has no interest in any of the other girls at YARC as anything more than friends,” she wrote, referring to the Yale Animal Resource Center.</p>
<p>“He is a bit naive, doesn’t always use the best judgment, definitely is not the best judge of character but he is a good guy,” she wrote. "He has a big heart and tries to see the best in people ALL THE TIME! even when everyone else is telling him that the person is a psycho or that the person can’t be trusted.</p>
<p>“He thinks everyone deserves a second chance and has a hard time hurting people’s feelings and it takes him getting burned to learn.”</p>
<p>Her most recent entry, written on Friday, says: “Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I’m not perfect and I don’t live to be, but before you start pointing fingers make sure your hands are clean!!”</p>

<p>I’m so glad the NHPD took the suspect into custody. I hope that the DNA matches and that it is an air-tight case. Then, I hope he’s convicted and given a lengthy prison term - the max - or, if CT is a death penalty state - so be it.</p>
<p>And he’s been released.</p>
<p>Remember the bombing at the Olympics in Atlanta? The press - and the police - rushed to convict a security guard and the media crush around him was hideous. He didn’t do it. </p>
<p>What if the DNA doesn’t match? Innocent until proven guilty. Taken in for a DNA sample is not an arrest.</p>
<p>
True …and an arrest doesnt always denote guilt or a conviction.</p>
<p>Whoever committed the murder should get the death penalty. No reason why tax dollars should continue being wasted on filth that prey on innocent people.</p>
<p>It costs much more to execute someone than to incarcerate him or her.</p>
<p>Nah death penalty is too easy. Cut off his eggrolls. Well…that’s probably against the cruel punishment laws so it can’t be done. Too bad.</p>
<p>edit: found out they said she died of asphyxiation. Where would Ray get something heavy/powerful enough to crush her so hard she couldn’t breath. He doesn’t look that strong to be able to do it by hand. There must’ve been a weapon involved.</p>
<p>^
She was 90 pounds, 4’7’'.</p>
<p>I am worried about the fact that all of you want him to be sentenced to death. He should get what every other murderer gets! He should not be put to death because he murdered a Yale student. RUBBISH!!</p>
<p>He might have done the deed - or not! Unfortunately, she is one unlucky student and bride to be.</p>
<p>And every other murderer in the state of CT (which I believe has capital punishment) is subject to the death penalty if the DA decides to go that route. So, if he’s convicted of murder, he should have the same fate.</p>
<p>We might have to consider intent. I will check and see…</p>
<p>I don’t want him to die. I want his eggrolls cut off. Is that so much to ask? =[ You can live without them.</p>
<p>At least 1 DNA will identify the suspect (AKA person of interest) tonight as per Police Chief Lewis at the conference late today.</p>
<p>What is “traumatic” asphyxia? Why do they called traumatic?</p>
