Investigators say Michelle Le vanished from the Kaiser Hayward Medical Center in California on May 27.  She walked outside to her car, and never came back. Based on evidence found, police fear she is a victim of homicide.  This week, authorities closed in on a possible suspect and made an arrest.  Lt. Keener, with the Hayward Police department, said Giselle Esteban, former high school and college roommate is charged with Michelle’s murder.  Michelle’s body has not been found.  Keener indicated various pieces of evidence like cell phone records, surveillance video and DNA led them to Esteban’s doorstep.  The suspect was arrested early Wednesday morning and has not spoke about the case to police.  Kenner said Michelle and Esteban may have had some sort of fallen out, but police do not have a concrete motive for the killing.  Police say they served a search warrant on Esteban’s property on May 29 then again on September 7. 

Esteban was scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday, but police confirm, due to her pregnancy and a doctor’s appointment, the arraignment will be postponed.
