Interesting, not aware of the story. The media was covering Chandra Levy-Gary Condit story nonstop, but not this. From quick search:

...Meanwhile, that same summer, star up-and-coming Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough, recently divorced under charges of infidelity, had unexpectedly decided to resign from office six months after being re-elected. Shortly thereafter an intern on his Florida staff was found dead --in the office --under mysterious circumstances with allegations of cover-ups by the local authorities and the quack medical examiner. And nobody in DC even raised an eyebrow.

The infidelity spoken of refers to wild orgies in FL with massive amounts of coke on hand. There are many eye witness accounts of Joe being a full participant in both. He is a POS and skated where he should have been jailed or at the very least publicly disgraced.

The main differences:

(1) Scarborough resigned days after Klasutis died, Condit held on for months.

(2) Klasutis' body was found hours after her death, while Levy was missing throughout the whole controversy.

(3) Klasutis was almost 30 and married and her family had no desire to drag her through the mud and do interviews, while the Levy family was happy to talk to the media as long as they held out the hope that their daughter was still alive.

(4) The Condit story had been running for months during a slow news summer, while 9/11 happened less than a week after Scarborough's resignation.

All that being said, Klasutis death was pretty mysterious and convenient, and the press did not pursue it very actively.
