FReeper Sleuths! Gary Condit and the Mystery of the Chandra Levy Pinky Ring!

---

From the New York Post:

"Police believe this missing tiny pinkie ring could be the key to solving the Chandra Levy murder case.

A gift from her mother, Susan in 1998, it was one of the 24-year-old Bureau of Prisons intern's most cherished possessions and her family has said she wore it constantly.

The 14-carat gold ring was bought for $416 and has two diamond chips and the initials "CL" inscribed.

But it was not among the personal items found during the extensive police search of the wooded hillside in Rock Creek Park where Levy's remains were discovered last week, Washington police spokesman Joseph Gentile said yesterday. "

After doing an exhaustive search of my own image archive, I could only find one image where Chandra is shown wearing a ring (below left). This ring happens to be on her ring finger and NOT on her pinky as has been reported in the press. Certainly, it may be a different ring, but it might just be the one described above and pictured below.

In this thread, FReepers brigette and Helen, along with others, were discussing this ring and the ring on Condit's finger found in the photo below . I have also searched my personal news photo archive and simply cannot find another photo of Condit wearing ANY rings..or any ring at all!

Now, some would say that Condit would be insane to wear Chandra's ring, but I say he's a nut, and at this point in the investigation (I believe, August of 2001), a point where he took a little swipe at a photographer, he had this small ring on his finger? And if you were the guilty party and had the ring, what better place to keep it but on your very own finger.

Was this an act of Providence? Coincidence? Maybe both. But either way, I'd like to see, and the police should certainly see, an enlargement of that photo with Condit wearing a tiny little ring on his pinky finger.

So what gives FReepers? Can any of you find an image of Condit where he is wearing a ring on ANY of his fingers?

There is your mission!

(BTW, yes, I spell Pinky with a "y")

Y'know ... Looking at the large-scale karate photo ... You may really be onto something here!

Correction to my post, I should have said the photo was posted last August.

[JudyB1938]

Thanks. I couldn't be sure. My old eyes just aren't what they used to be.

[MozarkDawg]

Naw, just a valid line of inquiring. It would irresponsible not to question every item, motive, and circumstance. Just covering the bases.

By challenging Registered's integrity?

The info on this ring seems to change by the minute. Thanks for your update. I don't think there is a "standard" woman's ring size. I wear a 5.5 on my "ring" finger but lots of people would take a larger ring and some a smaller one.

Must say that I too heard a "ring" was found among the remains, in the initial reports. I think there's a lot of bait and trap going on with the police. Let's hope they catch their rat.

Do you know the exact date. I thought maybe July..WHen he admitted to the affair>

Wow, that was an interesting disrupter incident.

That usually happens when the libs think we're on to something. At least that's been my experience.

[christine]

looking into those eyes gave me chills...

[let freedom sing]

You may really be onto something here

What? He's wearning a ring... and at some point he stopped wearing a ring? And where is the ring?

[Endeavor]

Sorry, I jumped before reading all the posts. Am currently sitting in Time Out as pennance.

Well, let's see the relevancy of this ring could be that if the ring was found WITH the body, and it is shown that at the date of this photo (7-8/01) that Condit actually had it...oooo, now that would be a BAD thing wouldn't it?

[MozarkDawg]

Interesting observation, but even if true how does it get us any closer to linking him to the murder?

Circumstantial evidence. Ring she always wore is missing when her remains are found. If Condit was in possession AFTER HER DEMISE, he would have some serious explaining to do. A prosecutor would begin to lay out a case with the circumstantial evidence, one of the blocks leading to his guilt used would be that he had her ring. His excuse, "She gave it to me," would then be challenged with, "Well, if that's the case, why do you no longer wear it? Why did you stop wearing it in the first place? When did she give it to you? WHERE IS IT NOW?"

(That's IF he was wearing her ring).

[hoosiermama]

I know it'll be fuzzy, but blow that ring finer up about as big as the picture.

Sure, are you gonna host it on a server for me?!?!?!

[TBP]

Could Chandra's ring have been what was in the cigar box Condidit buried deeeeeeep in a trash bin in far-off Alexandria?

[hoosiermama]

Ok, you got me there! It's just that it's almost a tease for more! Naughty REG!

That hadn't even occured to me ... good point. Makes me re-consider my earlier post. First story was that the cops found the ring with the remains, now we hear, nope, uh-huh, did not ... are the cops denying they have it in hopes of catching the perp with bait? I know that's why they got all po'd about us hearing of the tied leggings, they don't want the killer to know what they know.
