NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 13 (UPI) -- A body believed to be that of the Yale graduate student who disappeared days before she was to be married was found at the campus, police said Sunday night.

Annie Le's death is now being investigated as a homicide, the New Haven Register reported.

Her body was found inside a wall in the building housing the campus lab she was seen entering Tuesday morning, police said. Video surveillance recorded her entering, but never leaving, the building.

Le, 24, was to marry a Columbia University graduate student in Long Island, N.Y., on Sunday.

The Register had reported Saturday that bloody clothes were found in a drop ceiling in the building housing the lab, where Le was doing a research project.

Her cell phone, wallet and keys were found in her nearby office at Yale Medical School.

More than 100 federal, state, city and university law enforcement officers have been searching for Le since Tuesday night, when her roommate reported her missing.

Nunn 'seemed fine' before woman's slaying

GLASGOW, Ky., Sept. 13 (UPI) -- Friends of former Kentucky lawmaker Steve Nunn said he seemed fine hours before his estranged fiancée was shot to death and he was found with his wrists slit.

Nunn, a one-time Republican Kentucky gubernatorial candidate, was in good spirits at dinner Thursday, a friend told the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal.

Jimmy Bewley, a golf pro who told the newspaper he's been friends with Nunn for 45 years, said he and others were concerned about Nunn after he quit his job as deputy secretary of Kentucky's Cabinet for Health and Family Services in March.

But Nunn "seemed fine" during the meal at a restaurant in Glasgow, Ky., Bewley said, the Courier-Journal reported Sunday.

"We went to dinner with him to make sure he was OK," Bewley said.

Police say they found Nunn Friday morning in a cemetery near his parents' graves with his wrists cut, hours after the shooting death of Amanda Ross, 29, outside her Lexington, Ky., town house. Nunn's injuries were not considered life-threatening.

The Courier-Journal said Nunn last month made an "Alford plea" to charges of assaulting Ross and was sentenced to community service and alcohol addiction treatment. In the plea, the defendant does not admit guilt but acknowledges the prosecution probably has enough evidence for a conviction.

Police said Saturday Nunn could soon be released from a hospital and taken to jail.
