The "mystery" enhanced by "cops" and "professional searchers" who did not comb the park, or even limit their searches to likely areas a body would be dumped. Instead, searches limited to unlikely, less dirty and troublesome areas. Helps create easier photoops too.
Just thinking....
What's that, Blue? What have you found? Is it a clue? Looks like something that might belong to a Congressman!
Woman’s remains found in D.C. park
Officers who worked on Chandra Levy case called to scene
WASHINGTON, May 22 —— Police on Wednesday were examining the remains of an adult female found at Rock Creek Park. Though no identification had been made, investigators who worked on the case of missing intern Chandra Levy were called to the scene, sources told NBC News.
THE SOURCES, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the remains were found in a heavily wooded area of the park near Broad Branch Road. The remains consisted of a skull, bones and clothes and had been spread in the area, possibly by animals.
Levy, 24, vanished without a trace as she prepared to return to California after her position as an intern with the Bureau of Prisons.
The disappearance triggered an avalanche of publicity after she was romantically linked to former Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif.
Levy was last seen April 30 at a gym near her apartment. Police believe she spent the morning of May 1 surfing the Internet. Her parents received an e-mail from her that day that discussed airplane fares for her planned trip home to receive a graduate degree in public administration from the University of Southern California.
Several days elapsed before Levy’’s parents, Dr. Robert and Susan Levy of Modesto, Calif., called police and Condit, their congressman, to say she was missing. When police searched her apartment a few days later, they found her wallet, computer and luggage. Only her keys were missing.
Investigators interviewed friends, neighbors, co-workers, employees at the gym she frequented, but found no one who recalled seeing her after April 30.
They soon stopped by Condit’’s apartment for the first of four interviews with the congressman. Condit failed to tell investigators he was having an affair with Levy until his third interview, more than two months after Levy vanished, police sources have said. Condit, who lost his bid for re-election in March, repeatedly denied any involvement in her disappearance and police consistently said he was not considered a suspect.
The Levys have said they believe Condit has not revealed all he knows about the case, but they have stopped short of accusing him of complicity in the disappearance.
“If he’’s able to help, we wish he would,” Levy’’s father, Robert, said earlier this month and a candlelight vigil outside their daughter’s apartment to mark the anniversary of her disappearance. The Levys had urged police to treat their daughter’s disappearance as a crime, which might have allowed police to be more aggressive in questioning people in their search for clues. But the case was remains a missing person investigation because there is no evidence of a crime.
Possible, or an animal brought up some bones. Doubt the "cops" searched for newly turned over soil at the time - too messy.
I remember watching that search. It really was a joke. Just following the footpaths.
If it's Chandra, the terrorists win.... /sarcasm>
We already know that it wasn't the non-existent FBI "Cold Case Team" that Dan Rather erroneously reported on last year in his one and ONLY report of this case.
