D.C. Chief Medical Examiner Jonathan L. Arden said he believes that Chandra Levy might have been strangled, though he does not have conclusive evidence to rule that as the cause of death.

Levy's skeletal remains, discovered May 22 in Rock Creek Park, showed damage to her hyoid, a small U-shaped bone in the upper neck, but it was not broken, he said.

"A young person could be strangled and not have it show on the bones," said Arden, who ruled Levy's death a homicide but said the cause was undetermined.

I was going to write "LOL", but it is so dang infuriating. Oh, well, a rueful chuckle over your donut crumbs (ain't it the truth).

It is infuriating.

Even if Condit had nothing to do with this, which is a stretch IMHO, I refuse to believe he had nothing to do with the reason for her being in the park in the first place.

He was sooooo busy protecting his own reputation that he couldn't tell the police that he had met her there or directed her to meet someone there on his behalf.

It sure would have put the entire focus on the park.

These DC police officers should all be fired, yesterday. They are obviously either too stupid to do the job or too bought.

I understand the DC Police are saving money by closing some of their police stations. They found that it was much cheaper simply to report directly to Dunkin Donuts each day.

Well, from the obvious lack of any real police work going on there, I'd say this was a prudent move ;)

The National Enquirer, July 23, 2002


quote:


Washington D.C. Police Chief Charles Ramsey told The ENQUIRER "We will find Miss Levy's killer - sooner than later."



Synopsis:

New clues found at the death scene reveal that her tragic death was a coldly calculated murder perpetrated by a heartless sex partner and a ruthless henchman.

"She was hog tied," revealed one of the investigators. And she had sex with at least one of her assailants.

The ENQUIRER has now also learned additional never before disclosed details about clues found where (Chandra)...was found.

Chandra's panties were daintily hung on the limb of a bush. They were intact, even though more than a year has passed...

The panties were carefully placed on the branch, because Chandra expected to be putting them back on," said a veteran detective.

Her Walkman radio was equally cared for. It was placed on top of a rock. It was intact.

The ENQUIRER learned that among the items discovered at the death scene was a lipstick.

"No woman brings a lipstick to the park if she is jogging or expects to be alone...

(About being hog tied) "It is a really brutal way to go. It's painful to have both wrists tied behind your back and your legs pulled back so the ankles meet at the wrists...

Detectives told us there has been significant progress in the testing of Levy's clothes and skeletal remains at the FBI laboratory in Quanico, VA...

Thanks for the article.

Looks to me like someone on the inside is trying to say that Condidit.

What a joke, he can this moron say that with a straight face?

Really! The moron says they didn't question anyone about being in the park that day before they found her remains!

It isn't like they didn't know to look there, they had it on her computer!
The LA cops are put under fire all of the time, but these incompetent boobs just breeze through with people pretending they are earning their salaries!

Maybe a special interest group is in order here protesting the DC police and demanding they be fired and prosecuted for impersonating law enforcement officers!

If she was sexually assualted I doubt whether the pervert would take the time to completely remove her leggings. On the other hand if she was having a rendezvous with a lover, off they would come.

Right. I thought the other interesting detail was that all of her clothes at home were packed. She left nothing to change into. Might she have thought she was heading to a 'love nest' where a change of clothes was always waiting?

If the body skeleton was in pieces, separated, how does anyone know which way she was tied up?
