Chandra may indeed have known Condit earlier. However, she did not work in the office next to him. She worked for the FBI.

Correction, Chandra worked for the Bureau of Prisons, and was trying to get into the FBI. However, she knew Condit from having visited his office, and may have known him earlier from the days when she was interning in Sacramento.

Correct - she worked aways downtown D.C., if I'm not mistaken. Partly why I wonder that her mother didn't question Condit further when, in reports of her call to him, she asked him why all the late-night phone calls between the two, Condit replied something to the effect of, "Well, Congress is sometimes in session very late, we have late hours," like that. If it were me on the phone, I would have had a surprised tone with this follow-up: "But Mr. Condit, she wasn't your intern, she didn't work on your staff -- again, why all the late night phone calls????"

I think it was Chaing who woked near Condits office.
