The Chandra Levy murder remains in Wednesday's headlines, mainly because the "whodunit" has a political link.According to The Hill , a newspaper covering the Capitol, the Levy family considers Rep. Gary Condit -- a California Democrat -- a suspect in Chandra's murder.
Chandra's family mourned her death on Tuesday, just hours after the D.C. medical examiner ruled that the 24-year-old woman had been murdered. Based on the skeletal remains found in a Washington park, however, the medical examiner could not say exactly how she was killed.
According to The Hill , Chandra's family is now redoubling their efforts to link Chandra's death to Condit, who lost the Democratic primary in March - and therefore, will lose his seat in Congress in January.
Condit is "in seclusion," according to his aides.
A Levy family source told The Hill , "We believe that in her final days on this earth that he [Condit] found out that other people knew about the affair, and we believe that he was trying to break off the relationship."
According to the police investigation, Condit's wife Carolyn was in Washington when Chandra disappeared.
The box he got caught throwing away, in an outta the way trashcan, was the box that watch came in. Condit said he used an outta the way trashcan to throw out random "trash" because he knew reporters were going through his trash. Nothing more to it than that, we are supposed to believe.
But of course we do know at that point Condit must have been desperate for the media not to find out about still another adultry. He might have thought the police would find the box, ask who gave him such an expensive watch, and ask what happened to the watch.
(Some have speculated that the watch might have been lost in the struggle to kill Chandra, so Condit had to toss the box just in case the watch was found.)
I don't think Condit murdered Chandra. (far more likely he had someone do it for him.) I don't believe that either. But I do think Condit saw Chandra that day. I think they met in the park, and I think he broke her heart. Told her to leave him the hell alone, his wife was in town, it was over, and she ran off, totally distraught, paid no attention to where she was, and got raped and killed that very afternoon.
That explains why Condit hasn't leveled with the police or the grand jury. His big secret, the one he must keep, is that he was with Chandra, at Rock Creek Park on the day she died.
The following is the May 1 timeline Condit's office released to ABCNews, and it's full of discrepancies. Mike Lynch, Condit's shadow, refused to release it to other news agencies because, he said, it was "just a draft" and had mistakes. Interesting to note, a revised timeline was never released.
" Tuesday, May 1
Condit rides with staff to the office in the morning.
At 12:30 p.m. ET, he meets with Vice President Dick Cheney.
He returns at 3:30 p.m. for meetings and phone conversations with constituents.
At 5 p.m., Condit has a doctor's appointment.
At 6:30 p.m., he votes on the House floor.
From 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., he meets with a reporter at the Tryst restaurant in Adams Morgan.
Later, he and the wife stay home and eat dinner."

The only part of that time line that has been verified is the time the Cheney meeting started and the House vote. Nothing else has been verified.
I would like to know how Condit got to the White House meeting. Did he borrow the staff car and drive himself? That would mean he had a car at his disposal for the afternoon. The timeline says the Cheney meeting lasted till 3:30, but we know it ended much earlier. Condit could have left the White House, met with Chandra, and 3:30 is the time he got back to the office.
In search of the Condit-Cheney meeting,aristeides,I googled and found out that the meeting was at Condits request.
Juleanna Glover Weiss says it lasted from 12:30 to 12:50 in Cheneys office in the House of Reps.
Cheney and some of his staff were discussing ,you are right,aristeides, the Energy Crisis.
So, still unanswered, is the question of when did Condit ask for the meet?
But the kicker for me is now we can combone some of the biggest stories in one posting:
Isnt Cheney being "Asked" by the House for his energy "Notes"?
Isnt Enron part of someones requests?
Enron had started building a Power Plant in Gaza.
There was a thing about Osama Bin Ladens relatives as part builders-owners.
So, now the stories of the day:
Cheney-Enron-Energy-Gaza-Bin Laden-Condit-Chandra can all be one huge article!
Oh, the power of GOOGLE!
I thought the same thing.
Meanwhile, we just recently learn that Chandra always wore a certain ring. If Condit did it, then I would say that he used the watch box to conceal the ring that he took from her and then disposed of the ring and the watchbox in separate locations.
However, if that is so, then I would think that her dna from the ring would have remained on the watchbox and the police already know this. That's why they bring up the ring today. MAYBE THEY ARE TRYING TO GET CONDIT TO CRACK or put pressure on him? Just speculating as a non-law enforcement poster.
I agree (deja vu all over again - didn't I say it last year to ya?!) This is the most generous (to Condidit) interpretation of what might have transpired. He had no motive to moider her, so if he did kill her it would have been by accident - kinky sex gone wrong or a hard slap, she falls and hits her head on the proverbial curb, and so on. Would he moider her if she threatened to expose their affair unless he divorced Thumbelina? Dunno, whatevah, but it appears near certain that he did see her that afternoon or attempted to see her and she did not reach their rendezvous spot alive...
"Bob Levy said he called Condit's home the night of May 5, with Condit's wife Carolyn answering and the congressman himself later calling back.
"I talked to him and told him Chandra was missing," Bob Levy said. "He said, 'Oh.' He didn't act too surprised or shocked. He said, 'Well, she's a good friend of mine.' And then he mentioned that he would get in touch with his office and try to get help for us and put up the initial reward."
Of course, we're all assuming that she was murdered on that day. She could have been whisked away for another day. It wouldn't have taken but a few minutes to do that.
