Le, 24, vanished Sept. 8 from a Yale medical lab building. Her body was found in the building five days later on what was supposed to be her wedding day.

Clark, 24, is accused of strangling Le and stuffing her body behind a basement wall.

He worked as an animal lab technician, cleaning floors and mouse cages in the lab where Le worked. Police say it's a case of workplace violence, but a motive isn't clear.
