D.C. Metro Police investigators have "talked to" Ingmar Guandeque, who was arrested in July 2001 after attacking two females (one in May and one in July) who were jogging along the Broad Branch trail in Rock Creek Park. Levy's decomposed body was found Wednesday along the Broad Branch trail in a heavily wooded area.
A second official close to the Levy investigation said that while Guandeque was interviewed after Levy's disappearance last year, investigators are now taking a closer look at him since the intern's body was discovered.
"Clearly there are some coincidences and links -- just because of the proximity of where he [committed his crimes]," said a source close to the investigation.
ROLL CALL's Amy Keller reports: Guandeque, who lived on the 1400 block of Somerset Place Northwest, was arrested last summer and sentenced in February 2002 to two concurrent terms of 10 years' imprisonment for a pair of assaults of female joggers in the Broad Branch section of the park.
The first attack occurred in mid-May 2001, at 6:30 p.m., about two weeks after Levy disappeared. In that case, Guandeque came upon an unnamed female jogger, attacking her from behind while brandishing a knife.
According to a press relea
If you read Chandra Levy's bio, she was not exactly a push-over. In high school, she completed a wilderness program (when boys dropped out), she joined the Explorer Scouts Police Program, where she served as an undercover agent to catch retailers selling alcohol to youngsters, she kept in shape and she was nobody's fool. Maybe, according to your theory, she was the unlucky one, but I tend to think otherwise. There are too many loose ends to blandly assume that she simply went jogging that day, in an area she needed to look up on a map, with her bags packed, "some great news" for her aunt, and after having made numerous phone calls to a certain congressman, surfed the government websites of his committees -- and then randomly met her death at the hands of a serial rapist who returned to the area twice to repeat the crime (and failed) with her body lying nearby.
You have to understand who Geragos' audience is. It's not your average TV viewer; it's the DC jury pool. And what you now have with the guy in jail is what is called "reasonable doubt."
Well, almost nobody's fool. She certainly was Gary's fool.
But I do agree with you; she wasn't the defenseless type of woman.
I'm more interested in seeing them question KASICH about what HE knows -- a lie detector test, too.
So, since he apparently "killed" Chandra Levy, why didn't he take her walkman?
This still doesn't sound right... like they were trying to insert details to make it *sound* true... It doesn't say anything about her becoming unconscious, him making any move to put her in that way... she bit his hand and he fled? When then did he do the dirty deed?
Bingo. He is a user and abuser. If he really cared about Chandra who he was using for sex he would have swallowed his pride and been straightforward from the beginning.
No, he bit her hand.
Guandeque bit her when she pushed his face with her hand.
Keep reading. One Freeper theory is he never was interested in the walkman, it was just an excuse to avoid admiting his other assualt intentions. It is further thought that small women wearing walkmans are easier targets because they can be surprised easier because they cannot hear him coming.
"a man convicted of murdering two women in Rock Creek Park."
USA radio news.
No way was she a pushover. But tackled from behind, where the predator knows what is going on but the prey doesn't, the predator has advantage. Especially a predator that outweighs you by fifty to a hundred pounds, has more muscle, not to mention a weapon, as well as having the drop on you.
On top of this advantage, If he followed his mo and knocked her into the ravine like the other woman, she might have been injured and completely lost her chance to escape. Or, since this was a first for mr G at this location, he never relaxed and gave her a chance to escape.
His last victim was not only savvy, but also LUCKY. She had an opportunity to try to escape.
As far as the map, etc. I think she went to the park with a destination. In fact, I think she met up with Condit that afternoon.
