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.
"is this certain?"
YES, it is certain and it has been reported on....and when I first read this I was struck by it too....why would Condit assume that a $10,000 reward was appropriate, when...if he has no clue, as he claims.....it probably would have been more likely for him to assume she had gotten together with some friends, or gone to say goodbye to her Aunt Linda for a few days!!!!
To offer up a $10,000 reward IMMEDIATELY upon hearing from Mrs. Levy seems like a "Freudian slip" to me.
I heard the M.E. say that they could not determine which injury may have caused her death. Does this lead one to believe that there may be more than one injury that could have killed her?
True! Does anyone know, where is the watch that Condit gave to Levey?
Please provide the source of this information.
Maybe not! The M.E. stated there were personal items found at the scene...hummm. The police stated the only thing missing from the apartment were her keys. Wonder what they found. Police not talking.
Have read about Condit's dataing rules for his ladies? When meeting him, the women were not allowed to carry any of the items that Chandra left behind. Sounds like Chandra was on her way to meet her man...or so she thought!
I believe it was the watch box Condit threw away. It's my understanding that he received the watch from a former mistress and later gave the watch to Chandra a gift. What a jerk, eh?
All of which says notihing...opinions and prejudice combined with coincidental evidence don't equal fact.
(The statements above might be mostly true, condit and levy could have been breaking up and mrs. condit might have been in town brow beating the old man and that does NOT prove that she held ms. levy down while daddy throttled her.)
If the family would have spent more time actually investigating, supporting in/forcing on additional investigation by the DC police, or even walking the park themselves, maybe someone would have turned up the remains before a year had passed.
If they'd spent less time pointing fingers at condit and his wife, his kids, drivers, biker buddies, and alleged monsters lurking in the closet, it's entirely possible that the killer would have been identified by now.
It is surely possible that condit was involved, but few crimes have ever been solved by hysterics and simply repeating an accusation does not provide any basis for conviction.
...reports also state that Condit was spotted throwing a watch away in a nearby neighborhood trashcan...Condit threw the watch case away in Alexandria, VA. The city of Alexandria is 8-10 miles away from Condit's neighborhood.
