PAPER: Rock Creek Park Predator Interviewed by Police Investigating Levy Death Thu May 23 2002 12:52:01 ET
D.C. Metropolitan Police Department officials investigating the death of Washington intern Chandra Levy have interviewed a man serving a 10-year prison sentence for attacking two women in Rock Creek Park last year, ROLL CALL DAILY is planning to report on Thursday.

D.C. Metro Police investigators have "talked to" Ingmar Guandeque, who was arrested in July 2001 after attacking two females (one in May and one in July) who were jogging along the Broad Branch trail in Rock Creek Park. Levy's decomposed body was found Wednesday along the Broad Branch trail in a heavily wooded area.
A second official close to the Levy investigation said that while Guandeque was interviewed after Levy's disappearance last year, investigators are now taking a closer look at him since the intern's body was discovered.
"Clearly there are some coincidences and links -- just because of the proximity of where he [committed his crimes]," said a source close to the investigation.
ROLL CALL's Amy Keller reports: Guandeque, who lived on the 1400 block of Somerset Place Northwest, was arrested last summer and sentenced in February 2002 to two concurrent terms of 10 years' imprisonment for a pair of assaults of female joggers in the Broad Branch section of the park.
The first attack occurred in mid-May 2001, at 6:30 p.m., about two weeks after Levy disappeared. In that case, Guandeque came upon an unnamed female jogger, attacking her from behind while brandishing a knife.
According to a press relea
Why do Road Runner cartoons come to mind?
Playing devil's advocate here. If she went there for a purpose, why did she take her walkman (if that is her walkman they found)? Her outfit of sweatpants, T-shirt, sneakers, jogging bra, and walkman could be a red herring. In other words, if someone lured her there (which I believe happened), the one who lured convinced her to dress as a jogger so her demise could be dismissed as a random act of violence.
How convenient for the police to have a fall guy already in custody. Now they don't have to dirty their hands by confronting Condidit.
Humans shed millions of microscopic skin cells (called rafts) on a continual basis. As a person moves along, these particles leave an invisible trail that is detectable to a dog. Some fall to the ground or catch on blades of grass, trees, or other obstacles, while some are carried along on air currents. The closer the dog is to the 'victim' the more concentrated this trail becomes.
In light of this, I would say, yes, she got in a car if the trail ended at the corner.
And if it was a random killer looking for valuables, why was her ring left on her finger? She was found wearing a favorite initialed ring.
Because she did get a ride to the park -- but not in a cab.
That's a very odd thing for Geragos to say.
Oh I still think that Condit is a strong possibility, but am also examining what other explanations are out there.
GERAGOS: "I think one of the interesting things is in talking with Gary about a month or a month and a half ago, my investigators at least had suggested that if this was the work of a serial killer, that based upon the other two young ladies that were found, that you might find that Chandra would turn up some time in May. It is ironic at least that that's exactly what happened.
KING: You mean your investigator said that to you?
GERAGOS: Yes, I told that to Chad and to Gary when we were in D.C., that that had been suggested to me that if it's the work of a serial kiler, and if this was linked through Joyce Chang and the other young Armenian young lady who were found there, that it is in all likehood that she'd turn up sometime in May.
KING: What do they base that on?
GERAGOS: Based upon the prior findings of the other women who have disappeared. Both Joyce Chang and the other female."
And that's what was said on Larry King Live last night.
I don't know what he meant implying a "link" or trying to establish a pattern?

He's not as unlucky as Lewinski, unless he got intimate with Clinton too that is.
