Skeletal Remains Found in Rock Creek Park
Written by Gary Reals
Metropolitan Police Chief Charles Ramsey says skeletal remains have been found in Rock Creek Park. Detectives in the Chandra Levy case are also on the scene. When asked if there was a chance the skull belongs to Chandra Levy, DC Police Chief Charles Ramsey said, "At this point in time we really don't know, it's certainly a possibility."
Police say a pedestrian walking his dog near the area of Brandywine and Broad Branch Streets discovered what appears to be a human skull at around 9:30 am. Chief Ramsey says at this time, "we are unable to determine" if the remains are those of a woman.
Since they have a full skull it should be relatively easy to run an ID check through dental records. That should take approximately 24 to 36 hours. Investigators are expected to take the next several days to search the heavily wooded area for the rest of the body.
Police have searched the same area before for Chandra Levy, a former Capitol Hill intern. Levy has been missing since April, 2001. The case gained national exposure when it was revealed former California congressman Gary Condit had an affair with Levy.
Police believe Chandra was in Rock Creek Park near the time of her disappearance. A search of her computer revealed a search on mapquest.com for an obscure area of Rock Creek Park known as Klingle Mansion. Chandra Levy was known to go to Rock Creek Park and jog there.

Wonder if the networks are going to set up camp at Condit's Modesto office again.
I would guess that this is now going to move forward from a "missing person" case to a homicide investigation.
Start cranking out the subpoenas.
