Yale Student Found Inside The Wall of Multi-Million Dollar Research Lab on Campus

[@Pinay.Colada]

Annie went to my high school and graduated a couple years before me. I vividly remember my teachers being so devastated when she died. My senior year my AP science teacher read a letter Annie wrote to future students about working hard to go to school and earning scholarships. She had applied for scholarships for an hour or two every day and was awarded over a hundred thousand dollars by the time she got into college. I was a senior only about six months after she was murdered and my teacher cried the whole time she read the letter. Annie seemed like an incredible person!

Reminds me of a woman who had her kids taken away after she applied for welfare. They had DNA tested her family and it came back that she wasn't a match to any of the four children. Her lawyer ultimately turned to the medical community and a clever specialist told them to draw blood from the opposite arm. This test proved she WAS the mother. Turns out she had an absorbed parasitic twin where they had originally drawn blood. True story.

He killed her because he knew he could never measure up to her. She was way smarter and more intelligent so he felt inferior. I mean, he was hired through nepotism and most likely wouldn't even have been hired without the connections. His sentence was not enough but at least he'll sit and rot in jail for a while. I am just so sadden for her family, you can tell they were close and so proud of her. Truly a loss.

[@Carolina013]

My theory is rather simple: he was indeed secretly obsessed with her, he found out she was going to marry, he went and tried to convince her of a pre marital adventure, maybe even using that as a manipulative tactic (do this and I will clean the cages properly for you). She obviously rejected his ridiculous proposition and he raped and murdered her, with no prior premeditation. He truly doesn't seem like a smart psychopath, just a disgusting sociopath, with the sufficient amount of narcissism to not admit that his motives were incredibly stupid. He deserves to be in jail for the rest of his pathetic existence.

[@mimixmin]

I think there's also a possibility that he was simply so obsessed with Annie that he could not stomach the idea that she would not be coming into work for a while until after her honeymoon and he wouldn't get to see her at work for so long. He received that mass email she sent out to everyone at work that day saying that was her last few days at work before her wedding that weekend and honeymoon after, so he might've thought "it was now or never", and went in fully with the intent of s-assaulting her. He might not even have said anything to her, or confessed his feelings to her, or proposed a pre-marital romp. He might've just ambushed her and went straight in to assault her because he didn't want to wait any longer. Maybe he have even had the twisted idea of wanting to assault her before her wedding, before her husband gets to consummate their wedding with her. Perhaps some twisted idea of wanting to possess Annie before her husband gets to. I just wouldn't be surprised if he went straight into his depraved acts without it escalating from a confession of his feelings/rejection from Annie. He could've had a lot of desire for Annie built up from his obsession for her over a long time and it finally became unbearable upon reading that she was going away to get married and go on her honeymoon.

What really stood out to me in this case was the dog handler. The fact that they’re such a great team that even though the dog alerting made no sense to the handler, they still believed their dog and checked it out gave me goosebumps. I do search and rescue with dogs too and the amount of times I see handlers ruin shit just because they don’t trust their dog is crazy. We should all trust our dogs more because they know so much more than we can even grasp.

[@_joslynjohnson]

like same thing with dogs can smell cancer. like yes out of 100 women only 81 will get sniffed out that they have it but around 19/20 of them actually won’t but it’s still fascinating to me that they can tell! (i’m using numbers and not percentage) obviously dogs will make mistakes here and there just like we do. but they can always tell when something is happening faster than us most of the time. which blows my mind everytime i hear something like this dog finding annie.

[@seralynn7286]

​@@_joslynjohnson If there have been experiments like that done with dogs, I am wondering if they follow up with the women who were identified as having cancer but turned out to not have it. Maybe it was too early at the time to be detected? I remember learning about a woman who was able to with a > 90% rate smell Alzheimer's disease on people from a stage so early so that they often weren't even showing any symptoms until a year or more later. She basically had 100% accuracy with ones that were already showing symptoms. And the reason they knew was she kept saying her husband stunk and had this terrible smell that he could not get rid of, but no one else could smell it. They thought she was crazy, and didn't even make the connection until her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and then she smelled it on someone else and made the connection. His stench got stronger and stronger to her over time as the disease progressed. Either way, I suspect that dogs can help us in that way because I'm sure that's not the only disease that has a specific smell that the vast majority of humans are not able to detect, but a dog could. It's of course extremely difficult to pinpoint though since in order to train a dog, you have to know that there is a smell for them to detect and train them to identify it.

Men like that are systematically raised to view women as something they’re entitled to and not as individuals with their own desires and dreams. It doesn’t help that the entertainment industry for so long has only catered to men’s interests and attraction for so long that it indirectly objectified and erased women as a result.

It's disgusting how his family and fiance have allowed him to humiliate all of them and they still support him.

Someone told me that Stephanie Soo is talking about us. I just finished listening to this and I get emotional listening to it.

I remember we were taught in the family to wear shoes that have hard heels, and always walk with a purpose to make noise so there are always people paying attention to us for our safety. There are still many questions left unanswered. Even till this day, we still looked up to my cousin as the epitome of educational goal in the family. It is still sad to think of it. My father told me to always help her mother whenever she asked. Her mother was the one who sponsored my family to the US, and part of the reason why I am where I am today. All her hope for a better life was wiped out over night. It maybe foreign to other culture but in the Asian culture, parents do what they can for their children in hope that the children can help themselves and the family in the future. Being immigrants we are often handicapped and have to try many times harder to get ahead. Even now that many of us lead a stable life, it still stings to think about what could have been if this event did not happen.

[@aylssatolson5397]

My mother had been murdered when I was around 5 years old on thanksgiving night. My family and myself have been in countless news reports on television and articles in the newspaper. I really yearn to know and understand what really happened to her. Sadly after a few years of the police and private investigators looking into this case it was declared a cold case. Leading to not knowing what happened I don’t think I’ll ever stop searching for answers. But it would be honestly a miracle for more covering on my moms story and for that I love what you’re doing and can only thank you enough. Spreading light on stories that need to be shared for people to hear! I get upset and feel guilty and grief at times. And I can because someone took the other half of me and I mean TOOK! Her from me . Days like Mother’s Day and birthdays I feel robbed of my childhood and even now. I only have the memory of saying goodbye to her.

I’m a grad student in biomedical research. Trust me, we all hate that we need animals for experiments. I personally don’t work with them because I couldn’t sacrifice animals (what we call euthanasia for research purposes). At my school, and many others, that’s done personally by a grad student and techs maintain the colonies. But I also know animal work is the next closest thing to humans, and how else would we see if treatments work or if they’re dangerous? It’s a debate to be had for sure, but until we’re able to grow organs in a lab easily, I don’t see another way. It’s horrible and we all hate it.

[@OoglyMartian]

It really is a double edged sword, isn’t it? Definitely agree that it’s a well debate, a great debate in fact.

[@JohnnyLynnLee]

I'm not majored in biology and correct if I'm wrong but, as far as I know, not even growing organs in a lab would be enough to get away with ALL the necessity of testing animals. You can genetically modify entire generations of rats and, since they life spam is WAY shorter than that of a human being, see the effect in a LARGE population over GENERATIONS in a very short amount of time. Thing that wouldn't be possible in humans.

[@relativexistence505]

I’m a zoologist and while seeing all the potential benefits, there’s definitely not enough restrictions or advocation towards the well being of each individual animal. There should be much more revision on what’s deemed as an experiment that requires animal testing. (I.e. the on-going john Hopkins owl/adhd study)

[@DragonHeart29]

​@@JohnnyLynnLee True. Growing organs doesn't solve the necessity for in-vivo experiments. You need to see what happens in a whole functioning living body. For example, often times when we alter a gene to study something, we discover it affects other functions in the body.

[@JohnnyLynnLee]

@@DragonHeart29 All I know about that is from when an anima rights movement stole some animals from a research center in Brazil and a science communicator, a biologist (more precisely a paleontologist), called Pirula (actually a nickname, form "Canal do Pirula") made a series I think of 3 videos (20-30 minutes long each) of videos explaining what is really this of testing in animals. One of the videos addressed the argument of "why not testing in prisoners?" and there's besides all the ethical thing this of CONTROL, N, and the life spam of a human being. Why contrary to some myths people don't use the "results' of the "tests' the nazz.ys and the Imperial Japan did during world war not only because of moral concerns but because those weren't rally scientific tests, just sadism. Any "data" collected from that would mean nothing anyway. It's really sad but it's VERY hard to eliminate completely the need for testing in animals.

Stephanie there is a strange case that is one going in my city that I hope you will cover or please look into it. Mica Miller soon to be ex-wife of a pastor recently unalived herself or she seemed to. Investigator’s of this case recently discovered that the pastor/husband groomed her since she was 10 (he would’ve been 24 at the time) and that she called police on him multiple times saying she felt scared of him and was being harassed as he slashed her tires and put AirTags on her car. Before she served him divorce papers he was cheating (not sure if he was caught or not) and even text the lady he was cheating on her “secy” messages minutes after he found out about her death. Investigators also find it odd that the pastor just happened to be leaving the city/state at the time if her death. Many people are suspecting that he may have hired someone to kill her. She made a 911 called moments before her death asking the operator to track her location so her family can know where she died/where her body will be. Her family and friends are looking for answers and have started #FreeMica to raise awareness on this case please spread it around. The FBI have recently got involved with her case and suspect the it wasn’t a suicide.

What they don’t get is that everytime one of them commits a murder it makes them more and more obvious to the public. one day they’re going to be stupid enough to start claiming it in broad daylight.

That was a time before smartphones were really that ubiquitous, and I remember often leaving it in my bag all day and never looking at it. We just used our phones to make calls and texts.

this case was so frustrating! after the cameras they should have checked the card logs! 55 times is insane! the investigators seemed like amateurs 😢

[@godsown.9009]

Thought crossed my mind about them checking those cards. But I think so much goes into an investigation. They have to eliminate the seemingly most obvious options as they work their way through to solving a crime. Entering a particular room multiple times at the start of the investigation might not have necessarily been a red flag at that time.

Omg yes as soon as I heard about the swipes I said don't waste time check that!!!

[@hannaherickson160]

I think they did not think she had been murdered when they started the investigation. They probably thought there was probably an unsecured ( no cameras) exit or she was in an area ( locked in, unable to get out, fallen, maybe unconsc ious, etc.) at first. In other words, they were canvassing the building.

[@ApartDragonFruit]

They probably didn't think much of it. At first, it was assumed that an outsider did it, and even then they probably didn't think to look at everyone's card records because nothing really showed up on cameras inside the building. It all happened really fast, they found her around 5 days after she was reported missing and maybe one of those was spent assuming that she somehow left. You have to think about all of the searches of the building they did, that's 5+ entire large floors of labs and rooms they had to search through and get access too, people to interview etc. Then the searches they did in the trash to look for body parts, then combing through hours of footage. I'm honestly kind of impressed they solved it so fast. This had potential to be unsolved for a way longer.

I remember this case so well. I remember I cried when they found her:( Thank you for humanizing her, I’m in tears. She is so much more than the Yale student that was slain.

I’m always captivated of all the twist and turns, the little details at how you retell these stories. You have a true gift Stephanie that’s why we love your videos.

[@Wixya_]

You are my favorite "true crime" channel. The way you tell victims or survivors' stories is amazing. I love how compassionate you are, which I think it's something so many people are lacking. I love the respect you have for those how are impacted by those crimes also.

[@walter-vq1fw]

Yes, I've cried to many of her videos. Some people tell these stories while doing makeup calling it their "favorite murder" and talking about the victims in the most disrespectful ways

[@FluffyKuma7_7]

@@walter-vq1fw I mean, I love Stephanie to death but wasn't she one of them? There are multiple compilations of her joking about the pronounciation of a victim's name while doing a mukbang and sharing a true crime case and other instances of her being disrespectful. She did come a long way and had a major character development episode so kudos to her tho.

[@yanyanys]

@@FluffyKuma7_7 I still dont understand why you have to bring up the past when she clearly have become so much better and help so many victims. why cant people praise without someone mentioning things that she didnt do anymore

[@ajewishchristianmuslim]

this lady could have and did make huge contributions. Whether she did or not - but the fact that she did. She is so special and I hope to never forget her name.

[@hobislvtz]

this case happened in my town, I was about 9-10 when it happened, and I remember the whole city was hectic for those five days cops, people, and even schools were on high alert too.
