Annie Le, the Yale University graduate student who vanished only days before her scheduled wedding wrote an article in the magazine of the medical school.

Le's article was a cover story titled, "Crime and Safety in New Haven." It dealt with the subject of how students could be safe on campus.

"Despite safety measures such as door-to-door escort and shuttle services, the Yale community is still plagued with thefts, some involving frightening confrontations," Le wrote in the magazine piece.

Le interviewed Yale's chief of police, James Perrotti, who offered advice such as "pay attention to where you are" and "avoid portraying yourself as a potential victim."

Her article closed with the words, "In short, New Haven is a city, and all cities have their perils, but with a little street smarts, one can avoid becoming yet another statistic."

The 24-year-old grad student in pharmacology was originally from Placerville, Calif.

She is4-foot-11, 90 pounds, of Asian descent and has brown hair and brown eyes.

Le was last seen Tuesday at a lab in the Yale Medical School complex. Her purse, cell phone, credit cards and money were found in her office.
