According to a press release issued Feb. 8 by the office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, the victim reported that Guandeque grabbed her around the neck and pulled her to the ground, where her portable radio fell off. She also reported that Guandeque bit her when she tried to push him away.

Guandeque fled the scene of the crime, leaving the radio beside his victim.

On July 1, 2001, he attacked another female jogger at approximately 7:30 p.m., running up behind her as she reached the crest of a hill and grabbing her from behind.

The woman struggled, and when Guandeque loosened his grip on her she managed to get away and report the incident to the U.S. Park Police, who located Guandeque and arrested him.

Guandeque denied many of the details provided by the victim, but admitted to grabbing the victim in an effort to steal her Sony Walkman.

At Guandeque's sentencing, D.C. Superior Court Judge Noel Kramer called the matter an "odd case" and said Guandeque's crimes did not resemble merely simple robberies, according to the press release.

The judge called Guandeque's behavior "predatory" and noted that he had sought out physical confrontations with his victims, spent a good deal of time following them through the park and never took any property, suggesting he was extremely dangerous.

This was a one-time event for Levy wasn't it ?

Since these assaults took place near where the body was found, it raises further questions as to why this area was not searched thoroughly last summer. I believe the cadet search took place in mid-July which would be after the second assault described here.

So, if we accept this timeline, the 20-year-old "predator" actually killed the first of his three victims (Chandra) but fled the other two for fear of being detected. Usually it works the other way around - criminals get bolder in their crimes, not less so. And didn't Chandra's disappearance occur earlier in the day than the other two attacks? So we would expect to find Chandra's walkman among his possessions if he was intent on stealing stereo exquipment at knifepoint, wouldn't we?

I'm sorry. I have a hard time believing this body was just laying around near a jogging path for an entire year, particularly when the police allegedly made a thorough search of the park over several days last summer.

Like Vince Foster, I think the body was placed there after the deed was done, possibly kept in the mystery closet at Condit's apartment, or hidden in an abandoned building until it was deemed safe to appear.

While Condit is worthy of presumption of innocence and due process, it isn't normal to have the innocent act so guilty if they are truly unaware of what happened. It's the Patsy Ramsey syndrome - those who act like they're guilty usually are.

So, since he apparently "killed" Chandra Levy, why didn't he take her walkman?

Fox just reported that her skull had a crack. A predator could have grabbed her, causing her to fall to the ground, perhaps killing her even if the original intent of the perpetrator was not murder.

It is also still possible that she fell or tripped while jogging, injuring her head, and causing an accidental death.

The real tip-off is going to be whether or not they can figure out if anything happened to her neck with broken bones indicating some sort of choking or strangulation. Clothing has not indicated any sort of knife wound, stabbing, or heavy bleeding.
