NEW YORK - The family of murder victim Imette St. Guillen pleaded for help finding her sadistic killer as New York detectives turned their probe to former boyfriends and male friends in a bid to rule them out as suspects“Honor her commitment to justice . . . she would call and come forward. The person who did this needs to be brought to justice so this person doesn’t do it again,†said Alejandra St. Guillen, the victim’s sister.
“This is our baby girl. Someone took her in a horrible way,†the older sister added on MSNBC.
The body of St. Guillen, a 24-year-old Boston Latin School alumna, was found dumped near a Brooklyn highway Saturday night.
Investigators collected the DNA samples in an attempt to rule out anyone the pretty John Jay College coed knew. Investigators await the results of DNA tests conducted on bodily fluids found on St. Guillen’s body. She was the victim of a vicious sexual attack before she was strangled and suffocated sometime after a night of drinking at a trendy Manhattan hotspot on the lower East Side, NYPD investigators said.
“We are hoping to solve this case with DNA, fibers, or hair samples,†said a law enforcement source close to the case. “We are getting DNA from anyone close to her as a way to rule them out.â€
Last night detectives also scoured cheap, seedy motels along the route from Manhattan, where she was last seen alive, to the gritty, desolate Brooklyn block where her body was found dumped near a vacant lot, her head wrapped like a mummy with brown packing tape, her ankles bound with black shoelaces, and her hands secured with plastic ties, another police source said.
Yesterday, the NYPD released a photograph of the comforter that her body was covered with, a multi-colored fitted cover similar to many found in inexpensive motels.
The path detectives took yesterday was exactly the career St. Guillen was aspiring to while studying forensic science at Manhattan’s John Jay College, where she was on the dean’s list. Before collecting DNA samples, detectives questioned a former Boston beau, but he was in the Hub at the time of the murder, the source said.
