Darryl Littlejohn To Be Indicted In Imette St. Guillen Murder

Heard it on local NY radio a bit ago, allegedly DNA from blood on the plastic ties used to bind St. Guillen's wrists was matched to Littlejohn through DNA.

It's also being reported that he also took a course for a bail enforcement license. here

An official with the outfit - the U.S. Recovery Bureau - said Littlejohn had taken a 30-hour course for a bail-enforcement license at a school it runs in Brooklyn.

Update:

According to broadcast reports, an indictment will be handed down in the Imette St Guillen case.

According to officials, blood and DNA found on the plastic ties allegedly used to bind St. Guillen's hands link Littlejohn to the murder.  In addition, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly also revealed that phone records place the suspect near the crime scene at the time of the murder.

"This is very significant development.  When you talk about DNA here you are talking about the certainty of 1 in a trillion, so it's a very important piece of evidence for us .... The investigation is going forward and has certainly not reached a finality.  There's a lot more work to be done," Kelly said, according to published reports.

I am so glad they connected Littlejohn to this murder. I was getting a little nervous there for a minute, thinking they may have the wrong guy! Now we need to see justice for Imette!

This is from the article....

Cops began to focus on Littlejohn last Sunday after The Falls bartender, Danny Dorrian - a member of the family that owns the tavern - said the barroom heavy escorted an inebriated St. Guillen out around closing time.

WHAT WAS HER BLOOD ALCOHOL ?

THIS IS THE PART THAT BUGS ME :

Dorrian made his statement after a week of singing a different tune.

This DLJ sounds like a creep and 1/2 . People who lie to the police in such a serious investigation also have something to hide. Dorrian waasn't being questioned in a jay walking case.

Does anyone find this whole bar owner's story very suspicious ?

[Kat_Gram]

They connected the plastic ties to her and him. Was part of DLJ's job taking out the
trash at the end of the night ? If someone at my work ( office ) wanted to set me up, all they would have to do is grab some stuff from my trash.. kleenex, paper coffee cups, lipstick on the coffee cup, hair from the headrest on the chair... etc. My DNA is all around my desk.

Bars are notorious for employing unsavory people and for having unsavories as customers.

Where did the sheet come from that didn't have his DNA on it.

I am not ready to sit DLJ in old sparky yet.

[splashtc]

We need some serious changes in this country.

Kudos to New York's Finest who have worked their tails off for this case. The bartender gives me the creeps. To lie like that in a murder case is beyond words. I like this evidence better than the carpet fibers. I still think that there is more with the lies from the bartender.

[CanadianGirl]

It's his blood on the ties that bound her hands together, I don't think it's likely anyone found his blood on a coffee cup or kleenex. As a bouncer I don't think he would have a desk nor a personal trash can for someone to root through looking for his blood.

[Kat_Gram]

But they could have taken the ties off the garbage in the back.

On some of news stations on the web, there are talking about a second person as an accomplice.
Like whoever is involved in this is sick and should be put away for life.

This DLJ is a creep no doubt and he is back in jail on parole violation and has been described as a career criminal.

I am glad that he is in jail, so IF it is him, other women are protected.

I didn't want to sound like some person who was sticking up for him, just that all the facts haven't been released yet.

[afmomx3]

sounds to me like they should look at the bartender too.
in my opinion,
this Goofus didn't act alone.....
or he is on heck of a serial rapist & killer that plants in advance for just the right movement.
respectfully,

[CanadianGirl]

I agree they need to take a look at the bartender with the tempoary memory loss.....people with nothing to hide don't lie to police for no reason. I hope police are turning over all the stones to see what crawls out.

[Kat_Gram]

Ok, when I read the reports that I did , it said DNA. Now some of them are saying BLOOD .

That to me is a major thing. You could have DNA from a person just handing some thing , but BLOOD evidence is a whole different story.

Also, becasue they also thought at first she was gang raped, they are looking for an accomplice. Some blogs suggest a woman. The NYPD woud be crazy to release any more info then they had to if they are still looking for someone else.

Or even they they aren't. There will be a Grand Jury ( no date set ).

The guy is a creepy career criminal and he is where he should be... Rikers.

What was her blood alcohol reading? This is important, but how about total blood analysis results. Why did she linger so late at this bar? I'm wondering if a rape date drug or something else was put in her drinks by someone else and that rendered her vunerable.

[Kat_Gram]

Roger Dad;

Her Blood alcohol was ver high according to one of the reports I was reading today.

Very high relative to what ? Driving a car ?

Anyone who was in that bar near closing time
including the owner / bartender is a witness to what was going on in there. She had a conversation with her girlfriend at 3:40 saying she would be going home soon. It was this call that led them to The Falls when she did not return home the next day.

They have surveilence cameras of her leaving the Pioneer bar, but there are no tapes showing DLJ or her being outside The Falls at that hour. To me it sounds as if she did not make it outside the front public exit.

Here is a link that has reliable info.

Another one on the bar owners. I never realized that Jack Dornian put up the bail for Robert Chambers.

Anybody else wondering just how this bouncer managed to get his blood on the ties, but seemingly none on the victim herself?

"No, RSTJ:"

Most of us on here concluded with all the circumstantial evidence, and now even more with the DNA, that they have the right man in custody.
Un-less I read your posts wrong, including the one with the cuss word's in it (on the other blog entry of similar subject), that you feel he is being set up. I am just curious as to why you see it this way. Were you (or some one you care about) at one time accused of a crime that you paid for, and you/they were innocent?
I do not mean any offence here, but it's odd....you stick to this frame of mind. IMO

I do not mean speak for everyone here, and I am sure the opinions vary, and this man may have had an accomplice. But, I have read generally that "most" of you feel "he is the one".

In my opinion (to answer your question):
He may have cut "himself" while cutting her up in her privates, or her hair. He didn't realize that he had cut himself and transferred his own blood when he touched her to reposition her, or to move her.
Do you think someone collected his blood, and then dabbed it on the wrist restraints to set him up? I guess it could be possible, but in my opinion not so...
He was the last one seen with her, He has a criminal history, in addition to that the most "telling" conduct he has, is that he wears costumes of importance to promote others into thinking he is an authoritative figure, which means inside of him self, he feels unimportant so he masquerades himself as a way of overcoming his low self image (esteem). In addition to that, the use of authority costumes gives him power (he thinks) over others which means he likes "control". He feels out of control and weak and powerless...To gain the power he thinks he has, (in reality lacks), he tries to control others. He also, shows lack of compassion or empathy on others for the crimes he commits (burglary and accused rape) shows lack of emotion for others (narcissistic). He takes advantage of others through great force, no doubt he feels that he is privy to these cruelties to others as he himself was abused somewhere down the line. I believe in my opinion in his mind.... that his (accused) victims all have the same ethnic look to them, as somewhere in his past that person in his head...is responsible for his inferior pain. He does not respect rules or laws and breaks his curfew... blatantly. He also has not learned from his past incarceration...Most, you would think had learned a lesson. I think he has been attempting to perfect' his crimes.. you must admit using a disinfectant toilette....is pretty clever.
He is smart enough to have gotten this far...but, not smart enough to get some help, because he lacks the ability to rationalize about himself realistically...(Narcissistic).
"I could go on and on... but I think you get my drift."
IMO, he was btk in the making...

[Observer*]

and also Rstj:

He wiped her down with disinfectant toilette's (they are saying).
He forgot to wipe the restraints off, that were binding her hands.
Seem's he "missed a spot"

[Solonge]

I am thoroughly disgusted by the facts of this story. If this creep (Littlejohn) is found guilty of the charges, then perhaps the parole system should re-examined the loop holes that continuously fail good citizens. As for the bar owner, I hope he is sued for lying and possibly causing the death of this beautiful young woman.

What's your guess on time of death. How long do you think she had been dead before the phone call to 911. It bothers me that she may have been alive a long time and tortured before she was finally killed.

[afmomx3]

this has kinda reminded me of a movie thriller.
character was a lady.

she too had always wanted to be in with the good guys.
she loved all aspects of the law.
when she was in college, she learned about forensics, murder scenarios as an forensic talent reviewing a case.!!!of
all the thing's which she was recently a graduate student of,((just happened be))were in Imette's, Satanistics KILLERS type of behavior that wound up being used on her...

my heart bleeds foe her ...
what a terrifying & horriffic painful death.
Imette, we will getthat person(s) responsible., promise you...
go rest now Dear Imette.

ok everyone we know
this person(s) is dangerous...
let's get said person(s)of the street
A S A P !!!!!!!!!!!!

for Imette

I heard today that the blue van hasn't left his garage since January. Unknown where the source for that came from, but that'd put a wrench in the homeless story.

My question is; where did he park this van that it'd be at the ready to give patrons a ride home? Do the employees park right there in front of the bar?

I've also considered other ways his DNA got on the ties. They said similar ties were found in bar basement, so maybe he was taking out the trash, cut his fingers on broken glass and transfered to the ties when he reached in to get one for the trash.

Perhaps the barkeep needs his DNA checked? How hard would it be for him to pay off the homeless to describe her jewelry?

[rogerdad]

Cell phone records indicate his phone being used very close to where Imette's body was dumped, a few hours before she was discovered. So if Littlejohn's van doesn't run then did he borrow a car? Is someone else using his cell phone? What I am getting at is that he needed help to dispose of the body. True he could have rented or borrowed a friend's car, but I am starting to think someone else is involved in this. That sleezy bar tender needs to be put under a microscope. I really don't know if she ever made it out of that club alive. Something is rotten at the Falls!
