They suspect that Levy was sexually assaulted, because her leggings were discovered turned inside out, with each leg knotted.

Necktie knots? Kinky congressman bedroom necktie knots?

Do any of the rest of you have doubts that perhaps the park was NOT the scene of the murder but that the body was dumped there later to make it seem so? I do!

WASHINGTON - The city coroner said he believes that Chandra Levy may have been strangled, although he does not have conclusive evidence to rule it as the cause of death.
They could change that to:
The city coroner said he believes that Chandra Levy may have been strangled by Gary Condit, although he does not have conclusive evidence to rule it as the cause of death
and the article would have just as much real meaning,what a stoopid news release this is,just find out how she died THEN tell us,otherwise shuddup and work the case.There isn't anything in this release that could be used to flush out the killer,so it has no news value.
"You now have a crime scene," what an idiot.

PING

This case has been put in the dead cases file basically. A perfect example is the grand jury. They have questioned Mike Lynch, who runs the Modesto office for Condit, but haven't called Mike Dayton, the guy who went on the watch box dumping trip, vouched for Condit's whereabouts part of the day on May 1st, and set him up with Joleen Argentini. Why is that? Dayton knows for a fact if Condit vanished part of the crucial day better than any other player in this saga other than Condit, yet he is not called. This is just ludicrous.

FWIW, Condit mostly wore long sleeved shirts during the hot summer right after her disapearance. I thought that was odd.

Pinging a few of you here...Looks like Chandra will be going home soon.

Levy remains await trip home

BEE WASHINGTON BUREAU
WASHINGTON -- Chandra Levy's remains are ready to come home. Having yielded as many secrets as possible to investigators, most of Levy's skeletal remains have been packaged into several boxes and await a shipment that could happen at any time.

"It's just a matter of making the arrangements," Washington Medical Examiner Jonathan Arden said Monday. "We are completely ready to release her remains

."Arden talked Monday with Levy family attorney Billy Martin about getting the remains returned to her parents.

Some details are mandated, such as the legal requirement that a licensed funeral director take charge of the transport. Arden said for geographically distant next-of-kin, that typically entails hiring a local professional to handle the Washington end.

Other details remain unclear, including whether Bob and Sue Levy will travel to the nation's capital once more from their Modesto home to escort their daughter's remains.

"They're still working those details out," Levy family spokeswoman Judy Smith said Monday night. But at least a small part of the remains will stay in Washington, where Levy's disappearance 14 months ago and subsequently revealed friendship with Rep. Gary Condit, D-Ceres, pushed the former intern into the national spotlight.

Arden's office will hold on to some skeletal pieces for potential future use as the investigation warrants

Among the bones of interest, for instance, is the hyoid. This is a U-shaped bone about one inch above the Adam's apple, and its condition leaves investigators with at least a suspicion that Levy was strangled. "There is a little irregularity," Arden said. "There is some damage, but it is not conclusive."
