Sure doesn't look like a 45 degree slope from the photo. Why would it take 5 to 10 minutes to walk 100 yards from Road? Even at half normal walking speed of 5 ft/sec (about 3 miles hour) it should only take 2 minutes or so.

Maybe, due to public education, they forgot a decimal point.

A fat, out of shape police chief...

“Hmmmm... 45º is kinda' chilly!

All them leaves and ferns are like a roadblock... and the poison ivy!

No man could dump off a garbaged-bagged skeleton under those conditions.

Not saying it was a man mind you, Ms Zamsky is under investigation also.

Those “walkmans” have wires that can strangle you!

Ms Levy was dressed in a leo-tard... hmmmm.

Maybe she was an axe-ident lookin' for a place to happen.

We need a air-drop of “Crispy Cremes” up here... over?”

If the slope is really 45 degrees, that means you'd have to be grabbing on to trees etc to go down it....and with a body????Real tough job!

Wonder if either Gary or Mike is allegic to poison ivy and purchsed some Calamine lotion or something like that?

Wonder if Gary is HIGHLY allergic to it and went to the doctor for a shot.

Wonder if anyone noticed a rash on Gary (like his wife) though they likely sleep separately.

He normally wears long sleeve shirts but just remembering him inching in the next few days might be a clue.

These investigators must be ex-FBI men, they are acting like Keystone Kops.

But while there is still a lot of work to do, police are satisfied that there is nothing left to find at the scene.

Of course they supposedly scoured (remember they have a grid-by-grid map!) the area before and found nothing). They inspire such confidence.

I don't think Condit did the actual dirty work, but he may have watched. I would not put that past him. Does that qualify him as not being a suspect?

I recall reading that a friend of Chandra's said she wore a Tag Heuer watch, which was the brand name on the watch box that Gary discarded, which watch was given to him by another woman.

Where is the watch? Did Chandra return it to Gary? Or was she wearing it when she was murdered? I think it's curious that the media hasn't mentioned the watch recently in connection with the missing jewelry, if indeed it is missing.

Acheologists from the Smithsonian treated it as a dig, where everything is removed and sifted.

The sad part is, because of what the items are, I don't think they are with the body. I think they were each removed from her body (ring, bracelet, watch), the keys were removed from her fanny pak and all 4 items were put in something and tossed in a trash bin.

There seems to be an obsession with finding the ring and bracelet. It is an attempt to ELIMINATE Gary and gain another suspect. If the ring and bracelet are never found, it makes the case against Gary stronger. He knows that they BOTH identify Chandra and Chandra alone. The keys also identify Chandra and Chandra alone.

We don't know for certain that the Walkman is hers BUT it may have fingerprints.

The simplest statistic makes Condit a suspect and any involvement makes him as guilty as everyone else.

I keep trying to eliminate Gary somehow. It just can't be done. Finding the body in Rock Creek Park really helps in filling in the timeline.

Chandra did indeed expose Condit in the end and ruin him.

Payback time!!!What a terrible price she paid.

Doesn't it sound as though Geragos, John Walsh and the rest of these folks are putting it this way: "See? Since her remains weren't found with a handwritten confession by Gary Condit, he obviously didn't commit the murder ...."

Like you, I feel the things we have learned are far from exonerating him. And while it's all circumstantial at this point, I will repeat, men have been executed on circumstantial evidence alone.

I recall reading that a friend of Chandra's said she wore a [male] Tag Heuer watch, which was the brand name on the watch box that Gary discarded, which watch was given to him by another woman.

I have read that so rarely on FR that I think it's an urban legend.

The photo is a little deceptive. That's the site not where her intact spinal column (etc) was found, but the skull which had rolled away.

It's at the bottom of the slope, right before the creek.

If you look at the background of the photo, notice how the slope is very sharp befor it gets to the bottom, where the slope eases up a bit.

Eliminating, without proving who did kill her, might be impossible.

I think evidence definitively linking Guandique to the crime would eliminate Condit from suspicion of participation in her murder.

But it wouldn't make him innocent of concealing his knowlege of her whereabouts that day.
