Littlejohn: No DNA But Fiber Match In Imette St. Guillen Case
by Jim Brogan

He has a criminal career that has spanned more than two decades and featured colorful aliases, such as John Handsome, Darryl Banks, and John Blaze. He once reportedly robbed a bank of more than $60,000 as Blaze -- during a blizzard.
"It's tough enough in good weather, and you're doing it in a blizzard," one parole commissioner marveled at a 2004 hearing,according to one account. A parole board allegedly labeled him a menace to society.
But until this week, 41-year-old Darryl Littlejohn was just another faceless ex-con trying to get by a day at a time. That all changed of course when authorities targeted the parolee in the brutal slaying of a graduate student who disappeared after last call at the bar where he was working.
Littlejohn has not been charged in the death of Imette St. Guillen, 24, who was raped, strangled and suffocated by someone who stuffed a sock in her mouth and wrapped her face like a mummy in clear plastic packaging tape, suggesting that her killer wanted to freeze the pained expression on her face. Also, the killer chopped off her signature long, black hair before disposing of her body along a road in Brooklyn on Feb. 25.
Littlejohn remained in legal limbo on Wednesday -- being held on a parole violation -- as New Yorkers awoke to find his face plastered across most of the front pages of the press and on the television.
Police officials said on Wednesday that they were awaiting the results of forensic testing they believe could solve the crime, but refused to elaborate.
As a convicted felon, Littlejohn's DNA would naturally be on file, which would allow authorities to attempt to match it with DNA from the body or potential crime scene evidence.
* The Post Chronicle has learned that some of those preliminary results cannot conclude that Littlejohn was or is responsible. Those samples are reportedly of Littlejohn's semen and could prolong the case.
However, New York police have now matched fibers found in Littlejohn's Jamaica, Queens, home with fibers found at the scene where St. Guillen's body was dumped, according to broadcast reports.
* Note: Police have NOT confirmed this and are not commenting.
And Ferraro's son (Zaccaro) was working as bartender at the bar where Robert Chambers picked up Jennifer Levin (Preppy Murder case).
Was that the same son whose nickname was The Pharmacist, while he was an undergrad at UVt.?
Wonderful - he'll probably be back out soon to prey on another unsuspecting person.
Not sure.
oh my lord
i had an old girl friend who had taught Chambers at Collegiate in my Manhattan daze
or was it the Little Red Schoolhouse in the village?
Well, this young coed still would've been walking alone drunk at 4AM once she was kicked out of that bar. No guarantee she still would make it home.
