Condit's big crime is that he knew where she was. He probably even met her that day. But the despicable ghoul was afraid of the scandal and afraid of suspicion, and so took the craven path of hiding and silence.
I agree, but Condit can't be ruled out yet.
If they don't pin it on this guy, that will be crummy bastard Condit's fault. They will need very hard forensic evidence or a confession now - with both being harder to get with a year old crime scene and skeletal remains.
I'm pretty disgusted with the DC police at this point (I wasn't up until today). They CONVICTED a guy of assaulting (small) women joggers just after her disappearance both on the same jogging trail, one of the victims being pulled into a ravine off the trail. And they didn't send cadaver dogs down into the ravines near that trail, only did a cursory foot search?!!! IDIOTS! Lame * idiots!
Here's a clue, DC, since you can't buy one. If it turns out that chandra was indeed bashed in the head, look for a connection with Mirzayan, who was also pulled into a ravine. Check and see if this guy was in jail in the interval between the murders of Mirzayan and Chandra.
The only reason he didn't kill that last jogger is that - she got away.
