You are exactly right in insisting that an innocent man would be able to account precisely for his whereabouts on any of those several critical days

One theory I toyed with for a while is that Condit was sleeping with somebody else other than Chandra between 1-3:30PM, that is why he can't tell us what he was doing. I don't know though, it doesn't fly after all the other women came out though. Is it better to be thought of as a murderer, or that he was doing just another in a long string of women?

Something is wrotten in Denmark though. Condit obviously was doing SOMETHING from 1PM to 3:30PM that he is too embarassed to let us know. I wish Larry King wasn't so hopeless and senile. I wish it were an act and "Super Larry" came out and whacked Mike Dayton during the interview.

If King whacked Dayton and pressed him for specific details of the days of the 1st and 17th it would have been a thing of beauty. My question is why Connie Chung, Newsweek, The sacramento reporter, Vanity Fair, The Merced paper, and Larry King didn't try to pin Condit and Dayton down when they had a chance.

Connie Chung was free to ask any question she wanted, so she asked the affair question about 5 gazillion times even though Condit wouldn't respond. If she just took a minute of those questions away and asked him to explain the false timeline, 1-3:30PM and May 17th it would have at least put him on the record and the FBI and DC police could have tried to verify.

Do you remember the Thomas Capano investigation in Wilmington, Delaware in the mid-90's ?

My daughter just gave me the book by Ann Rule. Title is ...AND NEVER LET HER GO. The story is compelling reading and the similarities are astounding! Missing woman, multiple lovers, gifts, brothers of questionable character, and a truly Condit like personality on the murderer.

One of the main points to learn from it is the amount of information the police had and kept secret until they were ready to make the arrest. I hope this is happening now too!

Please, if history is repeating itself, lets have an arrest and conviction in less than 4 years this time!

According to Mike Dayton, he (Dayton) was with Condit all day on May 1. From the Larry King transcript of August 30 when Dayton and the four Modesto staffers were intervied:

DAYTON: On May 1, I was with him probably every day that week. We went over, we met with the vice president that day, I was with him then, I picked him up, and we went to the meeting together, the vice president was gracious, and it was the first time I got to meet the vice president. Then we went back to the office. So I was with him, you know, the whole day.

Someone needs to do some serious questioning of Dayton.

Nonetheless, Connie Chung did MUCH better than most of us anticipated--admit it! If Condit eventually comes to justice, her interview will be seen as an essential part of the process that headed him that way. Her harping on the sex question(and that was also a complaint of Condit's, BTW,) was out of frustration at not being allowed by him to get a foundation for the questions that were to follow. He wouldn't even give her that much, and I was surprised she didn't finally say "What the hell are we here for if you won't even let me establish THAT much?" Any lawyer in court \ would've had to proceed that same way, otherwise the entire relationship would've been shrouded with ambiguity, which is the essence of "reasonable doubt". If I were doing the interview I would've started by saying "Congressman, I'm not going to ask you if you murdered Chandra Levy, or had anything to do with her disappearance. I believe you did and want to know how you thought you could get away with it?" THAT would've rocked him.
