TOPIC: Imette St. Guillen
A horrific crime occurred over the weekend. A young college student from Boston, Mass. was raped, strangled and suffocated. Investigators theorize the killer was a stranger who somehow lured his victim out of The Falls, the Lower Manhattan bar where she was last seen early Saturday morning, before pouncing at another location. But no suspects have been identified.
"There's an intensive effort under way to link any of the evidence or the victim's movements before her death to her killer," Paul Browne, the New York Police Department's top spokesman, said today. Here is what we know so far:
