Remains found near Chandra Levy's home

Police not clear if this is break in case of missing intern

WASHINGTON - A skull and other human bones were found in a park early Wednesday and police are trying to determine whether they are the remains of Chandra Levy, the 24-year-old former intern who disappeared more than a year ago.

"The possibility exists that it's a female based on some preliminary work," Terrance W. Gainer, Washington's deputy police chief, said in a telephone interview from Rock Creek Park. "They have been here for some time."

Gainer said he has no idea whether the remains are those of Levy, but said the park has been an area police have searched extensively for Levy's body. The former U.S. Bureau of Prisons intern disappeared May 1, 2001.

Levy's case drew national attention because of her connections to Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif. Condit reportedly told police that he and Levy, of Modesto, Calif., were having an affair. Condit has denied any role in her disappearance and police have said he is not a suspect.

Condit, who acknowledged a phone conversation with Levy two days before she disappeared, may have been one of the last people to talk to or see Levy. The congressman lost his re-election bid in the Democratic primary in March.

Dr. Robert and Susan Levy met with police when they were in Washington to mark the first year anniversary of their daughter's disappearance. At the time, police told them they had no new leads in the investigation, which remains a missing person case.

Someone walking a dog found the remains around 9:30 a.m., Officer Kelly McMurray, a police spokeswoman, said.

Police Chief Charles H. Ramsey said the remains were found in more than one location in a heavily wooded area of the sprawling park.

Gainer said the medical examiner has been called to the scene and dogs that search for human remains also are being used.

Police searched the park repeatedly in the first few months after Levy disappeared. Her apartment was not far from the park and she often exercised there.

Investigators also found that Levy looked up a Web site for the park's Klingle Mansion on the day she disappeared. The mansion is about a mile south of where the bones were found Wednesday, Gainer said.

As sad as this may be, if it is Chandra, at least the "Where's Chandra" part will
be over and they can have a funeral for her now. That's something, I guess......

Per FOX News, if this is Chandra Levy, they will know it by tonight or by tomorrow
at the latest.......

I wonder if old Romeo Condit is getting nervous?

I doubt it. He has no conscience whatsoever.
I still remember last summer when this was THE hot story, the ONLY thing that
he was interested in was HIS re-election. He couldn't have cared less about her.
He has the personality of a wet dishrag, imho........

I thought the DC police supposedly searched every square inch of the Rock Creek Park area after her laptop revealed she had looked up Klingle Mansion.

Yep,. that is what had me totally upset. I can't believe that is where they found her. I imagine (at least hope, there is someone competent available) they will be able to detemine cause of death.

Washington DC has the highest murder rate in the nation. The Chandra Levy case stands out only because it was a white Jewish girl involved with a powerful Congressman. Otherwise it wouldn't even have made the front pages.
