It's been almost a week since the bound corpse of cleaning woman Eridania Rodriguez was found in an air duct at the Rector Street building where she worked, and almost two weeks since the mother of three first disappeared. And though cops have been tailing the building's freight elevator operator, Joseph Pabon of Staten Island, investigators still don't have enough to actually arrest him. This despite the fact that Pabon left early from work the night Rodriguez disappeared and had scratches on his neck, hands and arms, plus bruises on his biceps and the inside of his elbows that looked like fingerprints. Oh, and a hand-shaped bruise on his waist! Last night investigators got a warrant to bring Pabon in for additional fingerprinting, and then they let him go. A DNA test was conducted on Rodriguez, but if the results are in they haven't yet been leaked to the press. Pabon's lawyer tells the Daily News, "My sources say they are having a very difficult time trying to tie him to this crime." Meanwhile, cops and reporters continue to monitor Pabon's every move; last night he went to Popeye's at 9 p.m., in case you were wondering.

Joseph Pabon, 26, of Staten Island, has not been charged or even called a suspect in the slaying of 46-year-old Eridania Rodriguez, whose bound body was found stuffed in an air duct Saturday in the Financial District building where she worked as a cleaning woman. But plainclothes cops are still tailing him 24 hours a day, and so is the press. With no new developments in the investigation to report, the Post has been digging into Pabon's past, and today the tabloid airs some dirty laundry on the elevator operator's family.

The NYPD has no suspects in the murder of Eridania Rodriguez, a cleaning woman who was asphyxiated with construction tape last Tuesday night in an air duct at the building where she worked. But the building's freight elevator operator, 26-year-old Joseph Pabon from Staten Island, is still under surveillance by the NYPD, and last night investigators seized a Pontiac G6 belonging to his girlfriend, Lisa Marie Blumenberg, while the two were at a batting cage. (It's unclear if this is the same car Pabon threw a bowling ball through after allegedly punching and choking Blumenberg in a drunken rage.)
