DNA helps cops nab Ridgewood car thief An alleged Ridgewood car thief was brought in by cops after DNA testing from items left behind at the scene connected him to the crime, police stated. The suspect, identified by police as Alfredo Santiago, 41, of Bushwick, reportedly dropped a backpack containing three screwdrivers and personal items taken from the car during the September 2014 robbery. According to authorities, during the incident, the owner of the vehicle approached his car, which was parked outside of 1856 Troutman St., at approximately 3:40 a.m. on Sept. 28 when he saw Santiago step out of his car and display what appeared to be a firearm. Police said that Santiago then threatened to shoot the victim before he fled the scene, dropping the backpack containing the screwdrivers that led to his arrest. Genetic evidence recovered from one of the screwdrivers was tested and found to match Santiago’s DNA profile. Santiago was arraigned on April 22 before Queens Supreme Court Justice Stephanie Zaro on firstdegree robbery, possession of burglar’s tools and fourth-degree criminal mischief. His bail was set at $30,000, and he was scheduled to return to court on May 6. 105th Precinct Queens Village, Cambria Heights, Laurelton, Rosedale, Springfield Gardens, Bellerose, Glen Oaks, New Hyde Park and Floral Park Queens nurse charged with murder in disabled toddler’s scalding death: DA A St. Albans nurse could face life in prison after she allegedly burned a severely developmentally disabled 1-year-old girl in scalding bath water, prosecutors said. Oluyemisi Adebayo, 54, was arrested on April 29 as she was about to board a flight to Africa via London, according to the district attorney’s office. She was arraigned the following day in Queens Criminal Court on a second-degree murder charge in the death of the 23-month-old girl from Rosedale. Adebayo, a licensed practical nurse who was hired to take care of the child at her home, said the toddler was burned when she was giving her a bath on April 21, prosecutors said. According to District Attorney Richard Brown, Adebayo stated that she had tested the water before placing the girl in a baby tub. When she removed the child, she noticed that her skin was falling off her legs. On April 24, doctors at Nassau University Medical Center performed surgery on the child to treat second- and third-degree immersion scald burns that covered about 50 percent of her body, the district attorney said. The girl died three days later. Preliminary autopsy findings found that her cause of death was consistent with complications from thermal injury. Medical personnel said that Adebayo’s story of how the child was burned was inconsistent with her injuries. Tests performed by the NYPD found that the maximum water temperature of the faucet used to fill the tub was 130 degrees, and that it took about 120 seconds for the water to reach that level, prosecutors said. The severity of her injuries was consistent with her having been submerged up to her waist in 130 degree water for about 30 seconds. Adebayo, who was ordered held without bail, faces up to 25 years to life in prison. Wet Basement?
