[Kiran Chetry, Cnn Anchor:] I'm Kiran Chetry. Thanks so much for being with us. Here are the big stories we're going to be breaking down for you in the next 15 minutes. The search for a missing Yale grad student is now a homicide investigation. Sadly, police say they found a body stuffed inside of a wall of the lab building where Annie Le was last seen alive. Yesterday was supposed to be her wedding day. An audio message believed to be from Osama bin Laden has surfaced on the web just two days after the September 11th memorial. The speaker says Americans need to be reminded why they were attacked eight years ago. In just a moment we get some insight on the tape from our Pentagon Correspondent Barbara Starr.
[Chetry:] It's been a whole year surprisingly, it's been actually a whole year since Lehman Brothers collapsed sending the economy into a tailspin. There's been many adjectives used to describe what has happened since. But today President Obama heads to Wall Street to talk about what went wrong with our financial system and what's being done to make sure the crisis never happens again. We're going to get an economic panel to join us to give us a preview of what they want to hear and what they think they'll hear from the president's speech.
[Roberts:] But first this morning, major developments in the disappearance of that Yale grad student Annie Le. Yesterday police found a body stuffed inside a wall of the lab building where she was last seen five days ago. Le was supposed to be married yesterday. The case is now being treated as a homicide investigation. Our Susan Candiotti has been following the story. She was working her sources late into the night. What do you have for us this morning?
[Susan Candiotti, Cnn National Correspondent:] First of all, you have to wonder who would do such a thing? Police have spent all night at that scene at the medical lab on Yale's campus trying to find Annie Le's body. Everything started to unravel Sunday night. For days police kept their focus on that medical lab building.
[Candiotti:] It's now clear why no one had seen Annie Le leaving this medical research building last Tuesday. Apparently she was trapped inside, her body found Sunday night hidden inside a basement wall.
[Asst. Police Chief Peter Reichard, New Haven Police Department:] She hasn't been positively identified as of this time. However, we assume it is her.
[Candiotti:] The 24-year-old grad student often worked in a basement lab performing experiments. She was majoring in pharmacology. Le was last seen entering the building on Tuesday, her image captured on security cameras. No one saw her coming out, and investigators had been reviewing videos frame by frame and pouring over blueprints. Then the law enforcement says they found blood-stained clothes inside some ceiling tiles Saturday. "The New Haven Register" reports the clothes are different than the ones Le was seen wearing on camera.
[Kim Mertz, Fbi Special Agent:] All I will say is that items that could potentially be evidence have been seized. None have yet been associated with Annie Le.
[Candiotti:] Investigators also spent Sunday searching through a recycling plant in Hartford about 40 miles away. They were looking through garbage hauled there from Yale. Police called it routine. The main focus of the building where Le was apparently murdered.
[Reichard:] Detectives and investigators right now have a large amount of physical evidence at the scene that we're going through to determine if it's linked to this case or not.
[Candiotti:] Yale's president reached out to the victim's family and sent an email to the campus announcing Le's death.
[Richard Levin, President, Yale University:] I met earlier this evening with Annie's family, with her fiancee and his family, and I conveyed to them all the deeply felt support of the entire Yale University community.
[Candiotti:] And students are planning a vigil on campus. Police have interviewed dozens of people, including family, friends, professors, employees. No one is being called a person of interest, and no one can come up with a reason why.
[Roberts:] OK, so here we have an area that's heavily surveilled, probably controlled access as well. There has to be a limited number of people that can get into that building.
[Candiotti:] You would think, and everyone wears badges when they go in. There are 75 security cameras around the campus. Again, it's stunning, and obviously people around campus want to know how could something like this happen? And we're wondering the same thing, of course.
[Roberts:] All right, well, Susan Candiotti will stay on the investigation for us. Thanks for the update this morning, Susan.
[Chetry:] Three minutes past the hour. An audio message believed to be from Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden has been released now on an Islamist Web site. It shows a picture of bin Laden. There's no video. We haven't seen new footage of the Al Qaeda leader in nearly two years. Pentagon Correspondent Barbara Starr joins us now with more. Hey, Barbara.
[Barbara Starr, Cnn Pentagon Correspondent:] Good morning to you, Kiran. I have to tell you that all previous messages have proven to be bin Laden. There's every expectation this will be confirmed to be his voice as well. Let's get right to what he says in this audio message. We have a quote for you. He says, "From the beginning we have stated many times that the cause of our disagreement with you is your support of your allies, the Israelis, who are occupying our land in Palestine. Your stance, along with some other grievances, are what led us to carry out the offense of 911." Now, of course, the U.S. reaction to previous messages has been that these are recruiting and propaganda messages by the al Qaeda leader, that he has been in hiding for so long that some of his ability to directly plan and carry out attacks certainly is diminished. But recruiting and propaganda OK, what does it really mean about the status of the hunt for Usama bin Laden? Just a few weeks ago we had asked Defense Secretary Robert Gates about that. He wouldn't address bin Laden specifically but reiterated the constant administration strategy, which is to go after the senior leaders, hope you can stir them into moving, and that that will somehow stir bin Laden into moving. But by all accounts11, he remains deeply hidden inside Pakistan and well sheltered by those loyal to him Kiran?
[Chetry:] Barbara Starr for us at the Pentagon this morning, thanks.
[Roberts:] We're crossing five minutes after the hour. And also new this morning, lots of questions surrounding the death of a former top aide for impeached Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. The medical office is waiting for toxicology before it determines what killed Christopher Kelly. Police say they found Kelly slumped over his steering wheel on Saturday. He later died at the hospital. Kelly was supposed to start an eight-year prison term this week for federal mail fraud. The local mayor says police found drugs in the car, but he is backing off comments that Kelly might have overdosed.
[Chetry:] President Obama's health care speech heckler says one sorry is enough. Congressman Joe Wilson, who yelled "You lie!" during the president's join address to Congress last Wednesday says he is not going to apologize on the House floor this week because he already apologized to the president and the president accepted that apology. House Democrats plan to censure Wilson if he refuses to do so.
[Roberts:] A touching tribute to Michael Jackson to kick off the MTV Video Music Awards last night in New York City. His brother Jermaine and father Joe were in the crowd as look-alikes recreated some of his famous moves to songs like "Thriller" and "Smooth Criminal." And sister Janet joined them on stage for "Scream," the only video that the two ever made together. It was her first performance since his death. From the king of pop to the prince of pompous, there's always at least one whacky moment that people are talking about the morning after the VMAs, and last night it came courtesy of Kanye West. We all know that he can a sore loser or at least play one on television, only for the first time ever he wasn't thinking of himself. Too bad for Taylor swift this sudden bought off altruism came during her big moment when she got the moon man for best female video. Check it out.
[Taylor Swift, Singer:] Thank you so much for giving me a chance to win a VMA award.
[Kanye West, Songwriter:] Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you. I'm going to let you finish. But Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time, one of the best videos of all time.
[Roberts:] Beyonce is in the crowd there saying, what are you doing? Maybe he was upset that Taylor Swift outsold him and everyone not named Michael Jackson this year. Kanye was booed off the stage and any mention of him the rest of the night pretty much drew the same reaction.
[Chetry:] Maybe they were booing his haircut, too. Anyway, poor Taylor Swift, such a nice girl. And Beyonce, as you saw from some of those shots, she looked shocked. She was mortified after it sunk in what happened. When she won the biggest award of the night, which was video of the year, she told the audience about her first VMA win when she was just 17 years old with Destiny's Child and how much it meant to her, and then she handed over the microphone so that Taylor Swift could say her thank yous and have her moment. Beyonce certainly is a class act. And poor Taylor Swift. Apparently in some of the write-ups this morning Taylor Swift, who is just 19, her mother gave Kanye West an earful backstage, which he said...
[Roberts:] I can imagine she would.
[Chetry:] And then he apologized.
[Roberts:] That was just think about these things before you actually do them. It's one of those talkable moments, I guess. So President Obama giving a big speech today on the financial industry. It's one year ago today that Lehman Brothers collapsed. Is Wall Street any different than it was 365 days ago? We'll check in with Diane Swank and Bill Cohen coming up next. It's eight minutes after the hour.
