May 26, 2002 -- Investigators believe Chandra Levy was lured to her death by someone she knew or slain by a predator who methodically stalked her, police sources said yesterday.

Evidence collected at the spot where her remains were found points away from her being killed in a random attack while she was jogging, the sources said.

Makes sense! She may have been killed in location she was found, but I doubt if she got there by herself.

Car adds intersting side. Maybe he left his sleeping medicated wife in the middle of the night, met Chandra outside apartment. But..... She wouldn't have screamed, if it were just him. And I would think there would have been some record of him contacting her to set up the arrangements.

4)stumbled while jogging, fell into a ravine, cracked her head and died; or

From the talk shows on Fox News this is highly unlikely.
The discription of the area is thus. There is somekind
of roadway (dirt, asphalt? not sure which) with a
pull out above where the body was found.
Then there is a path (dirt, asphalt?) below where
the body was found. A detective on Fox said he
didn't think anyone would have dragged her up the
very steep hill
from the path. More than likely her
hands were bound together to keep her arms from flopping
as she was rolled down the hill.

Or she was strangled with the "leotard" while having what she thought was going to be some SM in the woods with her lover.
I think she walked to the sight. I live in a very dense wooded area. Almost impossible to roll a body very far.... too much underbrush and trees. Within the last few years had a body dumped over a VERY deep ravine here, certainly didn't make it 100 yards off the road.
Also, the most dangerous time (in regards to being offed) when dealing with a controlling person is when the relationship ends. "If I can't have you, than no one can!" He would have done it himself. He needs to be in control! It's a power thing!

Most often, the simplest solution is the best.

The simplest, most statistical, most logical explanation is that Chandra committed suicide. The more I look at the facts through that lens the more it makes sense to me. People want some wild and colorful explanation and reject suicide for being too simple and boring.

Maybe she was on her way out and remembered it sitting in the dryer in the laundry room, but was running late so ran to get and just threw it by the door inside the apartment

Yes. If she got "the call" to meet in the park she would have been in a rush. Or she could have been taking a blanket with her for the tryst - she could have decided to take a different one and threw that one down before grabbing another and rushing out the door. How big/bulky was this blanket on the floor?

3) committed suicide

That depends on how the leotards were knotted. Could she have hung herself with them? If so the police should be looking a low hanging branches for pieces of material. How would you explain the skull not being intact?

Wonder if there was a phone near the laundry room and if it were checked for calls?

How about this. Condit uses and anonymous email account (like hotmail) to email her with the details of when and where to meet. she'll know its from him, because he uses some 'term of endearment, name or word)

Since his wife is in town, it'll have to be late, very late.

He'll let the phone ring 1-2 times, to let her know to be ready at the curb in like 5 minutes.

Around midnoght she falls asleep, to be awoken by the phone ringing, in her haste to get to the curb on time, she half drags ger blanket, and kicks it aside at the door, grabs her keys and flies down the stairs. Someone (or 2) grab her, she screams, she is tossed into a car and the car leaves.

Once the commotion of the police leave, having been called by the neighbor hearing the screams, someone goes into the apartment. There's an email that needs deleting. Using latex gloves, they spend some time looking at sent messages to make sure nothing had been said about him, using his name. Snoop around to see what else may be on the hard drive. Then they use the 'history' to bring up any recent sites she may have visited, and perhaps added the Klingle mansion. (She may have had that up recently, OR someone may have wanted her body found).

As for the keys, they could have been taken from her prior to shoving her into the car, or the person may have had their own key.

Gather a few items, like a walkman, backpack, etc and ditch them near the body, with the keys. (if they took hers to gain entry to the apartment).

Wild animals try to eat everything, including brains which require opening like a turtle shell.

I don't think she walked to the site where her body was found,
or had a tryst there. According to what I hear it is
a very steep incline. Her body got there someother way.
Psssst! If you were having a tryst in the woods would you do it on a steep incline?;-)

The DC Chief actually said that they "didn't search the remote areas" - he was expecting the cadets to find Chandra laying in a trail??? He is toooo quick for me.

"I don't buy any of the conspiracy theories. If Levy had been "lured" outside by someone, she would have taken her purse or wallet--it's inconceivable that she would have left them in her apartment. Chances are, she went for a jog, got too close to a psycho, and game over."

You make a good point, but the question of how she was lured is of some importance. The police say they lost her trail on the street outside of her apartment. There is also some evidence to the effect that Condit ordered his women not to use identification. What if Condit called her, told her that he was coming by right away, and said that they were going to visit the Klingle Mansion? That could account for the disappearrance of her scent on the street, the lack of identification, and the visit to the Klingle mansion web site on her computer.

She weighed only about a hundred pounds, so it's possible someone could have thrown her over their shoulder and carried her there. They would have had to do it late at night though! Their clothes would have been dirty. I just don't think she was thrown over the cliff into the ravine. Yes animals could have scattered the remains, and... heavy rains also might move some of them down toward the bottom. Suicide is possible , but not likely. Again it depends on the knots in the leotard.

AH...YES...there is precedent for that: the Vince Foster case!

What about the e-mail she sent her parents on May 1? Her parents
have never indicated that they didn't believe it was from her.
All the e-mails I get say what day and time
they were sent. I wonder what time the e-mail to her parents was sent.

You cannot possibly be as stupid as your suicide theory makes you sound. THINK about the situation.

The DC police force may have become the Keystone Kops of the 21st century....but don't you think that even THEY might have noticed a body dangling from a tree while allegedly "searching" for a body? Forget it...I think I just answered my own question.
