Saw it. I didn't get anything new.

[Spunky]

I have not been up on all the details of Condit's love life
so this may not be news to you, but it was to me. Greta just
said that Joline Mckay was Mike Dayton's old girlfriend
and he gave her over to Condit. Had you heard this before?

[Irene Adler]

I believe Chandra was 5'1".

Even if it is the ring, couldn't Chandra have given it to Condidit? However improbable, it's an explanation he could give for possessing it.

Now that you mention it, I recall something to the effect that they had grown up together or dated; and that Mike had introduced her to him. (His warning to her about keeping quiet was supposidly as a friend rather than a threat from Gar.)

I think we need to focus on the ring and the photographer, let's see if we can make further conclusions about what we see in these photographs.

So, the first question I have is this: Where can we obtain a list of D.C. Freelance Photographers that do work for the AP?

But the point is, initial news reports say the ring was found along with the bones in a shallow grave. Now we see reports to the contrary. If Condit had the ring before the body was found...we have our murderer.

Yes, a film negative could be enlarged and enhanced to a significant degree. Still, even if it is established that it is her ring, it will only one more piece of circumstantial evidence with no proof he took it from her dead body.

[hoosiermama]

I'd contact Associated Press. They have a main office..I once did some election work for them (my Ex was a newspaperman) Will see what I can find.)

Here's CONTACT INFORMATION:
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
International Headquarters
50 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, N.Y. 10020
MAIN NUMBER 212-621-1500
Photos: 212-621-1900

Know any NYC freeper. they may put you on hold for awhile. Most offices are very cooperative, once you get the right person.

Again, my point being that initial news reports said the ring was FOUND with the body. Now we have contridicting reports, but the Washington Times reported it FOUND. If Gary had it on his finger last summer, how did it end up with her skeletal remains? Hmmm?

[Revolting cat!]

I just took a look at my local daily rag and see that AP photographs are credited to individual photographers just like the local ones (are credited to staff phographers, that is.) I assume that web news pitchers are not credited, right? So the thing to do may be getting away from your monitor for an hour or two, if anyone can stand it, (Any volunteers? Heck, we'll watch the store for ya!), going to a big city library and looking up a hard copy (hey, what's that?) of a newspaper where this photo was originally printed to get then name of the mysterious photographer. Sounds like a plan?

[luvbach1]

Even if shot was over-exposed, and assuming it was film, a new print of it could be dodged (selectively exposed) to tone down the burned-out area, and the photo then enchanced. Again, what if it is her ring? Can't see what how that would link him to the murder. No proof Chandra was wearing it when she died. Likely she was, so it only adds to circumstantial evidence.

[Fred Mertz]

That's new news to me too.

I'd really like to pass on my old girlfriends to my boss, but he's married. Oh, wait@!....

[/sarcasm]

[luvbach1]

I'm curious as to why the cops are so focused on this ring.

Because they're desperate for a viable clue.

[crystalk]

Widely stated in literature to be 5 ft 3 and a half, needs a little help to be 5 4

[crystalk]

Lost it in the shuffle when the bones were moved to RCP from Luray?

[aristeides]

Chandra lived like four blocks from the Dupont Circle Metro stop.

Read #250. btw, I love Bach too :-)

[hoosiermama]

When you get hold of them don't tell them why you want to talk to him, only that you do.

Actually I'd be tempted to call the FBI and let them do the work in their photo lab. They have excellent equipment.
They would know IF they really did or did not find the ring.

I love Bach too

Well, you can forget it, she's happily married to Ringo Starr (or is it Yasser Arafat?)
