The flame-haired flight attendant who says she had an affair with California Rep. Gary Condit said yesterday she could have wound up like Chandra Levy — dead in a Washington park."It could have been me," said Anne Marie Smith, who plans to attend Levy's memorial service tomorrow.
Speaking for the first time since the missing 24-year-old intern's remains were discovered in Rock Creek Park last week, Smith told Fox News Channel she was "devastated."
Smith also said she feels sorry for Condit, who was ousted from office after the scandal over Levy's disappearance and their affair erupted.
Police have quizzed Condit about Levy's disappearance but say he is not a murder suspect.
"I really feel like he created bad karma for himself," Smith said. "If he wasn't involved, he should have been forthright and admitted 'I made a mistake'" by hiding his affair with Levy.
Condit has denied having an affair with Smith.
A grand jury has been looking into allegations Condit obstructed justice by asking Smith to lie about their alleged affair.
Smith has not been called before the grand jury.
"The bottom line is that there was a type of coverup going on as far as I was concerned," Smith said. "What else was he trying to cover up? How many other people did he ask to sign an affidavit?"
Condit, who was believed to be with his wife and grown children at their Modesto, Calif.-area home, did not respond to Smith's allegations and could not be reached for comment.
Smith's lawyer, Jim Robinson, said she will be among the thousands attending Levy's memorial service in Modesto.
He said Smith made the decision to go after consulting Levy's aunt, Linda Zamsky, and godmother, Fran Iseman, with whom she became close during the year-long search for Levy.
The search for Levy ended last week when her remains were found in Rock Creek Park in Washington. Levy, who vanished on May 1, 2001, will be memorialized at a community center in her hometown of Modesto that holds 2,000 people.
Condit has not said if he will attend Levy's memorial service.
He would get a chilly reception from Levy's parents, who have publicly criticized him for allegedly impeding the investigation — and for seducing their daughter.
GOOD FOR HER. LETS HOPE SHE STRETCHES IT OUT UNTIL CONDIT GETS WHAT IS COMING TO HIM.
No,there are a few of us,but we are definitely outnumbered by the "Condit was unfaithful to his wife,so he MUST be guilty of murder!" crowd. What it really amounts to is that most of these people want to see "cheating husbands" put in jail for life,and jump on any excuse they can find to justify it.
Hey, sneakypete..if most of us thought that cheating on their wives or husbands was tantamount to going to jail for life...there would be nobody left...
Truth is, Chandra was tightening the screws on Condit...she wanted to marry him....only problem, he already is married with grown children...he had motive, opportunity and the connections to carry this out...
Puleeezzzeeee, to go to jail for life for cheating is a ridiculous thought, unless you murder someone in the process....
" Seducing their daughter " ? Hey , she was 24 , not 12 ! She knew what she was doing .
Uhhh ... she looks like Dustin Hofmann's "Tootsie" and the earlier poster who thinks she's hot has been working in the coal mines for too long.
The truth is this means nothing. His wife knew he was running around with other women,and didn't care. As long as he played the old "Ah did not have sex with that woman,Ms.Levy!" game,everybody would nod and wink,and not care. Hell,it might even have HELPED him win reelection. Look at Bubba-1 for proof of this. After all,he was a Dim congressman from Ca,not a Rep running for a seat in the bible belt.
he had motive, opportunity and the connections to carry this out...
Everybody in the country had the opportunity,and he didn't have any motive at all. There is no way of getting around the FACT that a dead or missing Chandra Levy is a MUCH more serious problem for him that a live one running around and screaming accussations.
I agree. I think this is mostly due to bad plastic surgery and hair implants,and being 55 while trying to pass for 25. Reminds me of a 50+ soccer mom I saw at K-Mart not long ago. Had her hair dyed maroon,a pierced nose,and new tatoos. She was running around with her teen children,both of whom had pierced eyebrown,noses,ears,and lips. You can maybe fool yourself,but you can't fool Father Time.
I sure that at the time that he killed her, The Modesto Stud never had any idea that Chandra would become the focus of national media attention. He probably thought that she'd be just another missing person -- not front page news. Condit just looks like the creepy kind of guy who reacts physically and becomes abusive when others refuse to take orders from him. I think that Chandra was going to go public and expose him and he killed her in a fit of rage for being so ungrateful for "all that he had done for her." Just my opinion.

Hah, Hah, Hah...that's funny...so you think a missing or dead Chandra is a much more serious problem, then a scorned, hurt, woman who thinks she's inlove, with nothing to lose...Hmmmmmmm. Guess that's why organized crime kills and cuts their victims into little pieces, because they're more dangerous dead....Think about the logic...Mr. sneakypete take it from someone who knows...Condit was complicit in this....whether he hired someone or killed her himself is unimportant...the DC cops are a bunch of clowns...everyone knows that!
Here in NY...after the remains were found, months before...we would have nailed his arse to the wall....with forensics, phone records, surveillance equipment and all the newest crime solving toys he would be in jail now...Condit's behavior has been more then just a little suspicious....Dont ya think pete?
Uh hum, speakin as one hot NY freepette, I agree she looks like "Tootsie," but where's the glasses tom...She's missin the Tootsie glasses...right?
