Annie Le Suspect Failed Polygraph, Says Police Source

The source told CBS News' correspondent Randall Pinkston that the suspect has failed at least one polygraph lie detector test and possibly more. The suspect has not been formally charged, but is not at large.
The victim, 24-year-old Le, and the suspect may have known each other, says the source.
Police are currently analyzing what they're calling "a large amount" of physical evidence.
Le worked in a lab in the five-story building's basement. Campus officials have said that the security network recorded Le entering the building by swiping her ID card about 10 a.m. on Sept. 8, and had been baffled that she was not seen leaving. That changed Sunday, when a woman's body was found stuffed into a "chase space" behind a wall where cables could be accessed.
Annie Le's body was found on the very day she was scheduled to marry her fiancé Jonathan Widawsky on Long Island, New York.
The university has planned a candlelight vigil at 8 p.m. Monday at the university.
