What an arrogant b*stard. He was DEFINITELY involved in SOME way in Chandra's disappearance. And here he is still suing for defamation?? How I wish Chandra could talk.
She was madly in love with him and her internship in DC was ending. He was stringing her along and married as well as seeing his other women (the flight attendant for sure). She wanted more, and confessed their relationship to her sympathetic aunt.
Condit required her to be with him with no identification on her. She was all packed up and ready to leave for California. Condit's wife was in town staying with him. On her last day alive, Chandra was on her computer looking up Baskin Robbins (which now Condit is franchising?) when she got a phone call. She looked up directions to Rock Creek Park. She left her ID at home and went out. She called her aunt and left a message that she had exciting news. Her bones were found at the park a year later. On the day in question, Condit gave the police a timeline that included known appointments that took place on another day. Thus there was a long block of time around Chandra's disappearance when Condit had no alibi.
A couple of days later, Condit, who had never missed a vote in years, missed a day's worth of votes, and made a phone call to his flight attendant friend from a Luray McDonald's, in the middle of nowhere.
A couple of days after that, when police were searching his home and office, Condit was spotted miles from DC throwing a McDonald's bag into a trashcan. The bag was found to contain an expensive watch given to him by yet another girlfriend, the watch being rare enough to be traceable.
Guilty of something? We report; you decide.
We know he was guilty of being the only Congressperson smiling during their impromptu singing of G-d Bless America on the Steps on 9/11.
Good summary.
Strangely enough, Condit is what brought me to FR in the first place. I spent plenty of time on the Condit threads (prior to 9/11, of course.)
