As soon as I heard the report on Good Morning America today describing a possible suspect in the murder of Chandra Levy as an “immigrant,” my antenna went up. So, was he a high-tech worker, here on a H-1B visa? Or perhaps a permanent resident, proud holder of a green card? Somehow I didn’t think so. It took all of 15 seconds to Google out this Washington Post article stating that the possible suspect, Ingmar A. Guandique, is an illegal immigrant. But GMA didn’t bother to mention that inconvenient fact. ABC’s Pierre Thomas narrated the segment, which began with Chandra’s...

Police are preparing to make an arrest in the murder of Congressional Intern Chandra Levy... ...an inmate in the D.C. corrections system has told other prisoners that he killed Levy after seeing her in the park where her body was found. The inmate is identified as Igman Andique. He is in jail for attacks on other women in that same park.

Seven years after Chandra Levy's remains were found in a Washington, D.C., park, a year-long investigation by the Washington Post offers evidence the congressional intern was murdered by an illegal alien.

But with the Sept. 11 attacks, law enforcement personnel in the capital quickly turned their attention to the the nation's security, and Levy's case became a distant memory for the public. But the Post says that as authorities searched for Levy in Rock...

WASHINGTON -- Gary Condit's legal and financial travails just keep worsening. An Arizona judge has ordered the former Ceres congressman to pay $42,680.42 for filing a frivolous libel lawsuit.

PHOENIX - A judge dismissed former U.S. Rep. Gary Condit's defamation lawsuit against an Arizona newspaper that said the Democrat had lied to investigators about his relationship with a Washington intern who was later found dead.

WASHINGTON — Susan Levy tried the tango. She rides horses. She exercises, furiously. She sings her heart out; and still, with the dawn, all distractions fall away and she comes back to remembering. "I wake up every morning," Susan said, "and the first thing I think is, 'My daughter isn't here.'" Chandra Levy was last seen in the nation's capital on April 30, 2001. Eventually, her skeletal remains were found in Rock Creek Park. Investigators say they have identified a "person of interest," and they continue to conduct interviews, but her murder defies solution. What come unbidden now are ghostly...
