WASHINGTON (AP) - Three forensics experts have joined the investigation into the death of Chandra Levy, a Levy family lawyer announced Friday.

"The family has a right to either know what was done was done properly, or to confirm what was done. We're asking for a second opinion," said lawyer Billy Martin.

It'll take an Act of God to help the DC police. But these 3 fellows are the best of breed.

Check out Baden's book "Dead Reckoning". It's a good introduction to forensic pathology.

If there's anything to be found, these guys will find it.

Sorry... I don't have my Levy Ping List anymore, but Fred I know you have one.

This is good news. To bad the DC police could'nt do their job, this will take a lot of money on the Levis'side to pay for it.
