Immette St Guillen update
FoxNews is now reporting that The Falls, the New York bar where Immette St. Guillen was last seen, is being referred to as a "crime scene". A FoxNews camera crew was asked to "step back form the crime scene". Foensics experts in whitenomex suits were witnessed going in to the bar.
A white van has been seized and is being examined. The 9-1-1 caller has not been identified.
Considering that these searches are coming a week after the crime is not good. Not good at all. Someone dropped the ball in a major way. Of what value any evidence found a week after the crime has in a court will remain to be seen.
This case would likely have fallen through the cracks had it not been picked up by the media. The local police were obviously well into the process of not adequately investigation the crime.

As a fellow student at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City and the wife of a fine New York City police officer, I must correct your assumptions.
The police are completely on top of this case as are a good deal of the faculty at John Jay College. Our faculty and police are driven to find her murderer or murderers and provide an airtight case again them. This sensitivity to this particular crime has absolutely nothing to do with the media coverage.
This was a particularly vicious and inhuman act of violence that deserves and is receiving the attention and excellent police work it calls for. In addition, Ms. St. Guillen was one of our own. She was an exceptional student working towards a future utilizing the very skills that are being employed by our outstanding medical examiner's office and police force to solve her murder.
Who are you to accuse our 'local' police 'of not adequately investigating' this crime?

Thank you for your note.
Keep in mind that there is no way to verify anything that you have said, thus you have absolutely no credibility.
My statements regarding the NYPD's investigation are based upon the fact that a grid search of the dumping location was not conducted until the Friday after the crime, 5 days, and The Falls was not searched by a forensics team until a week later. There could be other plausible reasons for these delays, but given the rules involving chain of evidence and the security of a crime scene, I am hard pressed to think of any.
My observations and opinions are based on those two facts, which means my comments are supported. Your comments are pure mealy-mouth gobbledy-gook and are not supported in any way, shape, or manner.
Have a great day.
I agree with u Don. Especially in this day of all the crime tv shows ( SVU, all the LO, all the CSI; criminial minds, cold case, etc ) showing us that EVIDENCE HAS TO BE COLLECTED, grid searches done, etc in the 1ST TWENTY 4 HOURS! It is cold so the streets/sidewalks wont be hosed down, but things are washed away, destroyed, damaged, etc. Especially a bar in NYC: with it high population, so many ppl trample thru so it was a huge mistake for the police to wait and declare the bar a crime scene instead of doing it immediately.
