Don't really have one. It's just one of those suspicious things to throw in the pot. It seems pretty clear that Chandra was planning to go to Rock Creek Park -- whether by invitation, or of her own initiative. Now, her body shows up there. The simplest explanation is that she met her end there. It seems to me that any more elaborate plan involving moving the body much later, perhaps in a decayed state, would increase the probability of tainting the body with forensic evidence. Just leaving the body in the park would be the best bet for having the murder written off as a random killing. The same general strategy worked out very well for the Chiang killing. I think Gary got over-confident, after that one went so smoothly. He hadn't counted on Chandra blabbing to her aunt. That's why he blew his cool with the watch thing and the Luray trip, is my guess.

I had been playing with the idea that it wasn't the perp but someone(s) else who may have moved the body -- someone(s) who conveniently timed its discovery as a warning to The League of Gentlemen et al.

But the discovery could have been timed such if the body was there the whole time as well, I suppose.

Some of the connections that have come to light about the Shenendoah Valley being an ancestral Condit home and whatnot may lead me to believe he bugged out to that area for a meeting with his brain trust/cabal/whatever when he got panicky -- that could be an explanation.

Agree with you folks: What you see is what you get. Put the body in an obscure place in the woods and go away with a hope it won't be discovered. Liming bodies, freezing bodies, moving them all over the place is leaving more trails and that's how evidence connects.(Like the stupid watchbox scenario)

Condit and Dayton's mutual alibis equate to mutual blackmailing.

The big question is WHO kept that area of the park from being searched (The latest is that it was not).

I do believe Chandra was killed just a tad away from where they found the body.
