Now that New Haven police have set forth the idea that the killing of Yale graduate student Annie Le was a case of "workplace violence", there are speculations that the accused, Raymond Clark III, may have suffered from IED, or "intermittent explosive disorder", a syndrome in which normally rational and hard-working individuals become stressed in certain trigger situations, and explode inappropriately.
Clark looks normal and pleasant, and had a fiance, a good job, loved animals, was liked and popular, etc. But he was controlling and perfectionist in the lab, and may have exploded in rage if Le had opposed him or corrected him. This all serves, of course, to make the story all the more tragic: All has been lost, for no real reason.

Possibilities in the Yale Murder of Annie Le"People with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) may attack others causing bodily injury. Later, people with IED may feel remorse, regret or embarassment.", according to MayoClinic.com. Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) is also uniquely characterized by "out of character" angry episodes with "little thinking or no planning". The superhero, Incredible Hulk, portrays the "short-fuse" disorder quite well.
Wikipedia.Org states that the Diagnostic Manual and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) also classifies Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) as an "impulse control disorder".
Raymond Clark III, a Yale University Animal Lab Technician, was arrested for the death of Annie Le, Ph.d Pharmacology Student at Yale. Annie Le was reported missing last week. Her body, found on the day of her wedding last Sunday, September 13, 2009 , was stuffed in a gap in the basement wall of the research building in campus.

The father of my child has intermittent explosive disorder and while I'm not making excuses and also feel murder is murder he still could have that disorder, he does have many of the symptoms.
