The Murder of Annie Le (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798224649884)

Annie was hungry for knowledge and she was determined to change the medical community with scientific breakthroughs. Although her passion was primarily medical, she was an academic writer as well. In the February of 2009 she published an article in Yale Medical School's Magazine. The ironic title of this article was "Crime and Safety in New Haven". This article was based on campus safety and it looked at the amount of robberies in New Haven, compared to other cities that housed Ivy Level schools. It advised students on the different campus safety methods such as; the buddy system, utilizing campus police, and avoiding drugs and alcohol. Her article included an interview with Yale's police Chief. In the interview Chief James Perrotti states "pay attention to where you are and avoid portraying yourself as a potential victim." Annie was quoted as stating "In short, New Haven is a city and cities have their perils, but with a little street smarts, one can avoid becoming yet another statistic." Perrotti mentioned that victims of a crime should always make not of their attacker's shoes. "It's important to take not of the attacker's physical appearance, especially the shoes. The shoes are very important because they can shed the clothing along the way... shoes are unique." How does an intelligent and well-versed student like Annie Le get murdered?
