The Chandra Levy case is the most famous unsolved murder in modern Washington, a mystery involving sex, power and secrets. At its center is a vivacious young intern who had crossed paths with a handsome, married congressman. The story triggered months of feverish worldwide media attention in 2001, before the Sept. 11 attacks shoved it aside and the investigation stalled.
The Washington Post spent a year reconstructing the disappearance of Chandra Levy and the investigation into her death. Reporters interviewed police officials, investigators and suspects, many for the first time, and obtained details about dozens of previously unknown private conversations and events, including former Rep. Gary Condit's first interview with the newspaper in seven years.
The Post's examination of the case will unfold in a 12-chapter serial and epilogue in print and online. The serial will show how the sensational nature of the media coverage quickly overwhelmed the investigation. It will expose the fleeting acts that later loomed large and will reveal undisclosed clues, meaningful and false: a DNA swab in a dark parking lot, Chandra's last computer search, a conversation with a jailhouse informant who said he had the key to the case.
In the end, the serial will reveal how an enormous effort by the D.C. police, the FBI and prosecutors was undercut by a chain of mistakes, a misdirected focus and missed opportunities that allowed a killer to escape justice.

I never heard the story that Condit was a blackmailed traitor — do tell!
Wasn’t that slime Scarborough rumored to be involved in Condit’s little sex ring?
I’m in agreement that he probably didn’t do it. Although I suspect that he ran with a crowd...where some would have easily known of his relationship and the naive nature of Chandra...and its likely one of them killed her.
For more on that, google Condit Baskin-Robbins. It seems he moved to Arizona and opened two ice cream shops. But then the franchisor revoked the franchise agreement over non-payment of fees and sued him for continuing to use the franchise name.
This happened right after we moved from Modesto to Atwater. Condit spoke at my commencement from Stan State. In my bones, I know he knows what happened.
Was Chief Mouse involved in this one too?
Condonedidit
Condit certainly went to a lot of trouble to obstruct the case. And every move he made to keep it on the down low only served to make him look guiltier than sin.
Driving miles away to throw away another mistress’s gift watch in a McDonald’s bag? Missing his first day of votes ever while driving deep into the VA hills to call still another mistress from another McDonald’s? Hmm, maybe Ronald McDonald was somehow involved.
Oh, you mean Nancy's LapDog?
Sit! Speak! Down! Roll Over!
Good Boy, Dennis
My gut feeling is that it was someone she knew/met through her work, but not GC.
bkmark for later. thx
Pissant? : )
Imagine trailing a congressman as he has his driver drive all over the VA and DC suburbs,stopping at the occasional dumpster to toss out jewelry collected from his mistresses?
Note that Chandra’s jewelry was never found.
HORSECRAP!!
The D.C. Police couldn't even find her body, although they searched right past it in Rock Creek Park. Some guy walking his dog found her when the mutt came back with a tibia bone.
They still can't tell you how she died; if you said mice, your guess is as good as any.
The "solve" rate, that is knowing who the perp is for D.C. is less than 12%, never mind actually catching the guy.
It is common knowledge among the bad guys that if you want to do a clean hit, light up the guy any where and dump the body in D.C.
By the way, you can thank Marion Barry for this; when he was "Mayor for Life" he removed any and all standards from the D.C. Police.
Must be a post-post-9/11 world.
GARY CONDIT is INNOCENT!!!!
Democrats re-elect those who kill their mistresses.
