One of missing Yale grad student Annie Le’s professors reportedly was questioned by cops after they learned he canceled a class the bride-to-be was due to attend the same day she mysteriously disappeared.
The prof called off the class Tuesday, well before anyone raised an alarm that Le had vanished — just five days ahead of her scheduled Long Island wedding, Fox61-TV in Connecticut reported. The professor has not been charged.
Meanwhile, The Post has learned that Le’s mom, Vivian, told a woman at a New Haven supermarket that her daughter’s disappearance was “not cold feet,” while handing out missing-person fliers Wednesday.
The somber mom also told the woman that “it’s not the boyfriend” — Columbia University physics grad student Jonathan Widawsky — who’s to blame for Le going missing.
More than 100 Yale Police, FBI agents, state and city cops continued an intensive search for Le yesterday as Yale announced a $10,000 reward for information on her whereabouts. They checked the basement of the Amistad Street Building in New Haven where she last was seen entering Tuesday morning, reviewed building blueprints and examined the aspiring doctor’s computer.
Investigators also are reviewing security-camera footage to see if she was spotted leaving.
Le was deeply in love with Widawsky and talked constantly about their wedding, which was scheduled to take place tomorrow in Syosset. Those nuptials were canceled yesterday.
“Less than one week til the big day!” Le, 24, wrote on her Facebook page last Sunday.
Her page also read, “Lucky I’m in love with my best friend :),” under a photo of her and Widawsky.
Le was “hellbent on getting married,” her uncle Minh Nguyen told the Yale Daily News.
And Yale Pharmacology Department chair Joseph Schlessinger told the paper, “She was always talking about the wedding.”
Le in February wrote an article titled “Crime and Safety in New Haven” in Yale’s B Magazine.
She detailed safety tips from Yale Police Chief James Perrotti and concluded that “with a little street smarts, one can avoid becoming yet another statistic.”
“She did not feel safe in New Haven,” Schlessinger told the Yale Daily News.
