I mean seriously, if this is true, it is something pretty serious....and if the mainstream media has not reported this and it is true, I am extremely angry because they have been covering for Condit.

I recall reading in the Modesto Bee around mid-May that Mrs. Levy reported an offer from Condit to see about posting a 10K reward for her missing daughter. This was during her phone conversation with him on the evening of 5/6. She was in a panic. Dr. Levy had already called the DC police to report his daughter missing and had still not heard back from them. The next day, 5/7, Condit placed a call on her behalf to the DC Police, asking if a reward fund could be set up. Several days later, he ponied up 10K to add to the 25K the Levys were offering.

IMO, there is nothing particularly incriminating about these events. The Levys had already reported her missing to the police, a fact Condit was well aware of by the time he suggested a reward. Either way, it was a no-risk offer for him since the money wasn't his. It would come out of his campaign fund and belonged to his constituents. At the time, he didn't need to worry much about campaign funds since his seat was still secure and he still had reason to believe it would remain so.

Excerpt from an article at CNN.com:

"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."
