From the latest update in the Washington Post:

Condit's attorney, Mark Geragos, in recent days has tried to deflect attention from his client by urging police to focus on two other people: Ingmar Guandique, 20, who was convicted of attacking two female joggers in the park shortly after Levy vanished, and Albert W. Cook Jr., who was convicted this year of killing jogger Sue Wen Stottmeister, 48, in the Montgomery County section of the park on Jan. 24, 2001.

Law enforcement officials said the two cases aren't that promising. Guandique was interviewed by investigators and passed a polygraph test, sources said. And authorities believe that Cook did not travel far from his Aspen Hill home and that it isn't likely he would have been in the area of the park where Levy was found.

Gainer said police plan to look at the cases again, but discounted the suggestions by Geragos. "It's pretty obvious if they were prime candidates or suspects, we would be on them like flies on honey," he said.

I don't put much stock in polygraphs, esp. when *if* the guy *IS* the perp, he's the type that can lie like rug and generated just about the same about of activity in the needle.

Ingmar IS a prime suspect. I presume Condit is as well.

Now, if Gainer had said, "It's pretty obvious if they were prime candidates or suspects, we would be on them like a cop on a donut." I would have to take him seriously.

Would have been nice if Gainer had said, "Sounds like Geragos thinks he can do my job. I sure wouldn't want his job."
