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.
Gotcha... it just sounded like you had info closer the the investigation.
My layman's brain agrees with you... Condit has not acted "not guilty."
Me says, Bump that thought!
MARK MY WORDS, Sabertooth, my friend...the man has complicity....no doubt...I feel it in my gut...
g
Oh,yeah. You KNOW. What did you do,call Dionne's Psychotic Hotline?
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...
Oh yeah,EVERYBODY knows there are no criminals walking around free in NY. Except for the ones you elect to public office,that is.
Condit's behavior has been more then just a little suspicious....Dont ya think pete?
No.
What it amounts to is most often it is the person closest to the victem. Condit had motive, opportunity and NO alibi. He was not honest with the police. He is SUSPECT NUMERO UNO! PERIOD!
You must have a world-class case of denial if you don't recogonize that these young women are most often the sexual aggressors. They go to DC and other "power centers" with the idea they will spread a little of their "magic stuff" on these rich and powerful men,and bag one for themselves. After all,this "magic stuff" kept all the high school boys under their thumbs,so how could they fail? They get their hearts broken when they finally realize the people THEY were planning on using have been using THEM.
Forget Mrs. Condit she was getting hers & she knew what he was & looked the other way.
I agree.
I have no sympathy for her.
Nor should you.
ROFLMAO! Idle gossip and poisonous speculation being passed off as "research" and "thinking"? DAMN,but that is funny!
DAMN! Y'all just keep getting funnier and funnier! His personal life is ALL most of you care about.
Could be. Or it just COULD be that she was supposed to be going to meet Condit,and somebody nabbed her off the street in one of those random kidnapping/rape/murder things. This would explain why Condit acted like he did at first. He didn't know what was going on,but suspected whatever it was would lead to him due to the circumstances.
I pray her family is comforted they've been thru hell
I agree. I'd like to see the actual murderer (Condit or anybody else) arrested and put in prison for this. It won't bring her back,but it will help to ease their suffering to know that the person responsible is in jail.
LOL!
You don't KNOW a damned thing. All you are doing is guessing,and slapping each other on the back and saying "Good guess!".
LOL! What's my "agenda"? Did I help Condit dispose of the body? Maybe I'm heading up this super-secret new organization called "Murder Suspects Anomonous",and just don't want to see anybody charged with murder? Enquiring minds want to know!
Nahhhh,they didn't have anything to do with it,other than to convince people like that to vote for them.
