Bloody clothes found in a Yale building are not the ones worn my missing grad student Annie Le the day she vanished, according to published reports Sunday.

News Channel 8 reported Saturday that bloody clothes were found above ceiling tiles in the building at 10 Amistad St., and that the area was considered a crime scene.

According to the New Haven Register , the clothes were still being tested but they had not been linked to Le as of the afternoon.

The Yale Daily News cited a source who said the blood on the items could be either human or animal blood.

News Channel 8's sources were not able to confirm the reports.

Kim Mertz of the FBI said in a news conference Saturday evening that the evidence authorities collected was being tested. The FBI has not made a public statement about the case Sunday.

Police and the FBI focused their attention Sunday on the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority sorting facility in Hartford. Workers and police dogs were sorting and sniffing through trash looking for clues to the 24-year-old woman's disappearance.

Le disappeared Tuesday. She was planning to be married today on Long Island. Her family and fiance have asked for privacy.
