D.A.: Suspect admits he killed actress
NEW YORK (AP) -- A construction worker was jailed without bail Tuesday after confessing to the slaying of an actress left hanging from a shower rod in the bathroom of a Manhattan apartment.
Diego Pillco, 19, made written and videotaped statements implicating himself in the slaying of Adrienne Shelly, Assistant District Attorney Marit Delozier said Tuesday at Pillco's arraignment in state Supreme Court. Pillco was then ordered held without bail pending a Thursday hearing.
"He said he fought with the victim, tied a sheet around her neck and dragged her to the bathroom and hung her from the shower rod," Delozier said at the brief hearing. "This is an exceptionally egregious case."
Shelly, who appeared in the movie "Factotum" with Matt Dillon last year, was renovating the Greenwich Village apartment she used as her office. Pillco, one of the workers, was one of the last people seen going into the apartment, police said...........

I was so sad when I first read this ... I just loved her in those early Hal Hartley ... I hope that punk rots for the rest of his life in a tiny cell
r f, i was shocked to read the story as well. i had no idea they even initially thought it was suicide. at least i'm happy they found out that was not the case
as luck would have it, i happened to watch a movie today featuring another hal hartley regular, martin donovan. i believe it was called the visitation
