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
Not according to AP Breaking News:
” The remains of Levy, 24, of Modesto, Calif., were found by a man walking his dog Wednesday morning. They were located on a steep slope and identified later in the day using dental records.

I don't know. All I KNOW is that he hindered a police investigation with his tactics.
Their public support of their father is such a sign of disrespect for their mother.
Wish we could get a better and closer look at the area in question.
Incidentally, the disputes he had with both the known victims accounts and his assertion that he was after uh, their walkmans, that's the ticket, (the walkmans being a marker for easy prey) are typical disassociations of the sexually motivated attacker.)
Why does he go back to the same area? To relive the fantasy. He did it once, now he wants to do it again. This is an area scoured and scouted and he is familiar and comfortable. He knows the terrains and has selected good spots for leaping upon his prey. He can also count on the appearance of prey, and stalk them in the way he has worked out in his mind. He can pick out a target and wait till just the right moment. He has strategies worked out for striking, and what he will do when she is down.
It might not seem logical to a normal person but rapists work this way. THey go back to the same hunting grounds.
There is the thrill of getting away with it again, too. Rapists are angry, inadequate men who like to feel like they've put one over on the people who think they count.
If he hadn't let his guard down with his last victim, and managed to get caught, he would have tried again and in the same area.

Suicidals don't do a lot of things rationally. The math points to suicide. First, there's more suicides than murders so right out the gate the odds are suicide. Second, the woman lost her lover. Third, the woman lost her job. Fourth, the woman was forced to return home to face family and friends as a failure. Fifth, she wasn't coping well, visiting the Holocaust Museum of all places. Sixth, she was not a jogger or hiker, she researched a secluded spot. I'm making a decision based on very limited information, but if this is all thats considered the logical conclusion is very clearly suicide. The math is so overwhelming that I'm willing to bet my money on it.
Distracted, maybe. Which would make her easier prey.
I didn't realize you had been there to observe both incidents. Thanks for your information.
