It's looking unlikely that Condit or any of his minions committed the murder. If this was a professional hit, the body would never be found. The theory that the body would be returned to the park is asinine. A professional killer would not want a corpse found...far too much evidence.

To me, the whole pattern fits exactly how I think a third-rate blow-dried freak Congressman like Condit would carry out his killing. Somewhat bumbling and inept, just as he is in real life.

It's pretty obvious that one of Condit's minions knew that Chandra was coming to the area around the Klingle Mansion. She looked at it on the internet because she was (a) excited/daydreamy with anticipation of rendezvousing with Condit; and/or (b) to double-check directions. Condit's guy met her and killed her. He did a good enough job of burying the body to fend off the utterly inept DCPD, but not a good enough job to fend off a year of weather, wind, rain, and the wear and tear of Ma Nature. That year passed and there she is.

This is far and away the most likely explanation. An effort to bury the body doesn't come close to the "suspect's" MO.

Also another thing to consider: did Condit KNOW about these other "disappearances" around this area and try to make it look like this guy did it? If he was going to try to pin it on someone else, why hire a hitman who would make sure NO ONE ever found her body. It would be much craftier to make it APPEAR as though Chandra had been killed by this "unknown" person/criminal.

He could have hired a hitman, and said, "This is the way I want it done." Not out of the question.

There are two major problems with your theory. The first is that you assume Chandra had a date with Condit. This is just your personal opinion...it has no basis in fact.

Second, you incorrectly assume a hitman would work in a public park and leave the evidence behind. Highly unlikely.

You also mention an M.O. in your post, but don't bother to post why killing Chandra would be beneficial to Condit. It seems that the net effect of her murder for him was to expose their affair and lose his house seat.
