Condit Ex-Pal: Could've Been Me
New York Daily News ^ | 5/27/02 | HELEN KENNEDY in Washington

Posted on 05/27/2002 2:09:57 AM PDT by kattracks

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.

No problem. I'll try to be more clear in the future. I do appreciate your response though.
How do you see this case proceeding? Are you confident in the authorities?

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."

Sneaky,...me thinks you've been drinking from the sheeple pond on this one. Condit didn't get the moniker ''Scary Conduct''..because he cheats on his wife & family. There's plenty of reported suspicious action by Scary..totally unrelated to the "unfaithful" issue.

Me says, Bump that thought!

..Mr. sneakypete take it from someone who knows...

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 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.

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!

Its older men who take advanage of young (stupid) idealistic women, use them & ruin their lives & break their hearts. Thats why we are so filled with hatred for Condit, its for all those who will get away with it.

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.

my hunch tho is it's not political it had to be something she found out at that kinky sex club where the high powered pols hang out maybe something to do with drug money??

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.

. How convenient for you to gloss over everything we know about this wretched man.

You don't KNOW a damned thing. All you are doing is guessing,and slapping each other on the back and saying "Good guess!".

to see that they may indeed have a private agenda.

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!
