New York (US):
Career criminal Darryl Littlejohn remains firmly in the sights of NYPD detectives probing the sex slaying of Imette St. Guillen, even though a rape victim assaulted in a similar manner last October failed yesterday to select him from a police lineup.
“We think the victim got scared,” a source said. “We are still very confident he is the only suspect in the murder. We are going to prove it with science.”
Yesterday, the Herald reported that investigators have matched carpet threads recovered from the brown packing tape that swathed St. Guillen’s entire face to a red rug at Littlejohn’s Queens home.

The same fibers were found on a comforter that covered the 24-year-old Mission Hill woman’s mutilated body when it was found dumped in the East New York section of Brooklyn on Feb. 25. “The threads are not the only evidence we have,” a law enforcement source said yesterday. Littlejohn, 41, appeared before Queens Superior Court Judge John B. Latella yesterday for a hearing in connection with an Oct. 16 sex attack on an unidentified woman who was snatched off the street by a man posing as a federal agent and pulled into a blue van similar to the one owned by Littlejohn.
