Her nude body was found 14 miles away near a Brooklyn street wrapped in a floral print bedspread, her hair had been crudely chopped off on one side, her hands and feet were bound with plastic ties, a tube sock had been stuffed in her mouth, and her entire face wrapped in packing tape.
An examination of her body revealed that she had been raped, sodomized and choked to death. In March 2006, Darryl Littlejohn, a bouncer at The Falls, was arrested on a parole violation after he was linked to the rape and murder of St. Guillen. He was later indicted for her murder and has been charged with another kidnapping.
