The Chandra Levy case is the most famous unsolved murder in modern Washington, a mystery involving sex, power and secrets. At its center is a vivacious young intern who had crossed paths with a handsome, married congressman. The story triggered months of feverish worldwide media attention in 2001, before the Sept. 11 attacks shoved it aside and the investigation stalled.
The Washington Post spent a year reconstructing the disappearance of Chandra Levy and the investigation into her death. Reporters interviewed police officials, investigators and suspects, many for the first time, and obtained details about dozens of previously unknown private conversations and events, including former Rep. Gary Condit's first interview with the newspaper in seven years.
The Post's examination of the case will unfold in a 12-chapter serial and epilogue in print and online. The serial will show how the sensational nature of the media coverage quickly overwhelmed the investigation. It will expose the fleeting acts that later loomed large and will reveal undisclosed clues, meaningful and false: a DNA swab in a dark parking lot, Chandra's last computer search, a conversation with a jailhouse informant who said he had the key to the case.
In the end, the serial will reveal how an enormous effort by the D.C. police, the FBI and prosecutors was undercut by a chain of mistakes, a misdirected focus and missed opportunities that allowed a killer to escape justice.

Condidit
So Condit set up the plane hijackers to disrupt the investigation and all this time I thought it was Bush and Cheney's fault... S/
Ah, the old Chandra Levy case. I remember that was the hottest topic in the news, followed by overaged little leaguers and shark bite until we got hit on 9-11. Don’t know how munch involved Gary Condit is (or not) but I’ve always said that when 9-11 happened, he’d probably let out a huge sigh of relief by being bumped as the main story.
I don’t think Condit did it but I think he knows something. Oh, and the rumors about his personal sexual deviancies never did come out in the press. Why?
We, you know, demonstrated in Modesto every Saturday for over a year at Condit’s district office.
No, we have not forgotten Chandra Levy.
looks like the WaPo is going to drag it out in a 12 part series

I always figured that condidit, too. He undeniably obstructed in the case.
He’s trash, either way.
During the huge memorial service for the 9-11 victims Pres. Bush and his wife were there. Mr. Condit was on camera with a huge grin on his face. He knew that it would push the Levy case out of the news.
What? The idea that a US congressman could be so sick and evil as to kill or have killed a young woman to save his personal gravy train? Or, the ignorance and apathy about focusing on this heathen to hold him accountable for the twisted nature of the crime?
How about the fact nobody wanted or wants to know about how Condit (now ex-US congressman) or John Kasich (now ex-US congressman) and Joey Scarborough (now ex-US congressman) all exited at about the same time of the investigation, upon word that they partied together and participated in wild sex parties replete with rubber body suits and hookers and young women?
No. All that happened because of her death was an incomplete investigation and the resignation of a lying scumbag.
He's NO “handsome” guy. He is a creep.
Must be a slow time for LEFTIST news.
With all the stuff going on out there - they FEATURE THIS?
Sad. Very sad.
Speak of the devil...... :o
No. That would be the Vince Foster murder. But I imagine the Washington Posthole won't be doing any 12-chapter serial and epilogue on that bungled investigation.
12-part series? In an election year?
yes there is a link to it on the home page

“Mr. Condit was on camera with a huge grin on his face. He knew that it would push the Levy case out of the news.”
But it didn’t do him any good in the long run.
Gary Condit, of the House Intelligence Committee, escaped further investigation and exposure as a blackmailed traitor, and the resulting prosecution and prison sentence. I would say he certainly did benefit from the diversion.
While you’re at it, find out who killed Nicole Brown Simpson since in the criminal murder trial, O.J. was found ‘not guilty’ and O.J. said he would not rest until the killer of his wife was found.
Gary Condit had to leave California and is now running a fast food restaurant. He’s filed a few lawsuits against some journalists, all of which have been dismissed. For a former Congressman, this is a huge letdown.
