Police Probe Connection of The Falls Bouncer, Darryl Littlejohn, and Serial Rapes in NYC to Imette St. Guillen
Police are looking into whether the bouncer from The Falls bar, Darryl Littlejohn, may have some connection with a rash of other rapes that have occurred in the NYC area. There were three New York woman that have reported they were raped by a man driving a van and posing as a federal agent. A rather bizarre coincidence as the discussion of federal agents was talked about between Imette St. Guillen and Littlejohn.
NYPD investigators are probing whether jailed parolee Darryl Littlejohn, the Manhattan bar bouncer being eyed in the slaying of Imette St. Guillen, is connected to the rapes of three New York women who were brutalized by a van-driving man posing as a federal agent, law enforcement sources told the Herald.
“There is a serial rapist posing as a federal agent, grabbing women, who has struck at least three times” in the New York City area, an official source said yesterday.
Police are investigating the potential links and similarities to the three previous rapes and that of the rape and murder of Imette St. Guillen. So many aspects of the previous assaults are starting to look familiar.
- 1. “Littlejohn has been known to impersonate law enforcement. He has a van. We are taking a very close look at those cases,” the source said.
- 2. In the three attacks, the rapist identified himself as an immigration officer before pulling the women into the van and throwing a blanket over their heads so they could not identify him, the sources said. He then drove to an underground garage, where the women were raped and sexually assaulted.
- 3. No DNA evidence was recovered from the three attacks. The victims told investigators their attacker wiped them down after the rape with some sort of disinfectant swabs, the police sources said
When police searched Littlejohn’s home they recovered alcohol swabs, plastic ties, sections of his carpet, hair samples and fibers. Police also located his 1992 blue-gray minivan.
Yesterday, cops located a 1992 blue-gray minivan that Littlejohn registered on Jan. 27, the same day he turned in the plates for the immobile blue van outside his house. The blue-gray van, with temporary plates, was ditched less than a half-mile from his home. It was ringed with tape as cops sought a search warrant.
In another strange coincidence of possible linkage between the crimes, the assaults took place between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. One of the previous rape victims was Japanese that police are investigating into any connections to Littlejohn. Then comes the following from a busboy at The Falls that is a bit eye catching.
Sources say a busboy at The Falls, the Soho bar where St. Guillen was last seen alive, told them he heard Littlejohn ask the exotic-looking St. Guillen, “Are you Japanese?” just before he walked her outside, a law-enforcement source said.
Dan Dorrian, one of the bar’s owners, said he asked Littlejohn to escort St. Guillen from the bar at 4:05 a.m. At that time, she was the lone patron of the trendy hot spot.
Littlejohn and another bouncer walked St. Guillen outside. The second bouncer took a cab to the Staten Island ferry and went home, telling cops he last saw St. Guillen and Littlejohn “standing together” on Lafayette Street. At around 4:10 a.m., Dorrian told investigators, he heard an argument and a commotion of some sort, sources said.
There is an old saying, that there is no such thing as a one time rapist. The evidence is beginning to mount against Darryl Littlejohn. However, one thing that should never be overlooked in this horrendous crime whether Littlejohn is the individual responsible; The Falls bar did nothing to prevent such a crime from potentially occurring. They also lied to police and obstructed an investigation.
