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

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

"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")

Well, don't just sit there! HELP!

DID YOU READ WHAT I JUST WROTE? The only photo I could find of her wearing a ring has it on HER RING FINGER, which would make the ring larger than a pinky ring!!!!

Anything is possible. And murderers are not normal people.

But Condit would have to be a total loon to be walking around wearing a ring with initials "CL" on it.

Do we know what year Chandra's graduation photo was taken? She was a senior in high school in 1994 (per Modbee.com). Could this be her undergraduate college graduation (est. 1998)?

What was the occasion for her parents giving her the ring in 1998?

Yes, I did. And I still doubt any ring that would fit on CL would fit on condidit.

Condit's other karate chop photo taken that July morning is even worse for visualizing that pinky ring.
