Chandra Levy’s Cold Case gets Hot-Arrest Imminent

Chandra Levy’s Cold Case gets Hot-Arrest Imminent as Washington police told Susan Levy, the mother of murder victim Chandra Levy that an arrest is imminent in the eight year old case.
Washington intern Chandra Levy’s body was found a year and 21 days after she disappeared in 2001.
Police Chief Cathy Lanier of the Metropolitan Police Department did not reveal the suspect’s name to Susan Levy. Authorities did not provide details, and told reporters that no announcement is expected this weekend. Lanier went on to say that this case generated numerous bits of information, which we continue to follow up on.
Earlier in the day, station WRC-TV, in Washington, reported that police were pursuing an arrest warrant for a prison inmate named Ingmar Guandique. Guandique is being held at the Federal Correctional Institution-Victorville, a medium security facility just north of San Bernardino, California. This was confirmed by an official at the prison.
Police contacted Levy’s parents, Susan and Robert Levy, on Friday, February 20Th, 2009, with the good news.
Chandra Levy, 24, used her computer and then left her apartment May 1, 2001, and vanished into thin air. Finally, her remains were found May 22, 2002, by a man walking his dog in a secluded area of Washington’s Rock Creek Park, a year and 21 days later.
The search for Chandra and massive publicity that accompanied it stemmed largely from her connection to Rep. Gary Condit, D-California.
Condit and Levy, a federal Bureau of Prisons intern from Condit’s district, had an affair, and police questioned Condit many times in connection with the murder. Police never named Condit as a suspect.
Condit was a member of Congress since 1989, lost the 2002 Democratic primary and left office at the end of his term. He later moved to Arizona.
However, Guandique was mentioned in a Washington Post investigation into the murder published last year. The Washington Post quoted former investigators in the case who said Guandique was convicted of assaulting two other women in the park where Levy’s body was found.

We are supposed to believe that a 27 y.o. immigrant killed Chandra Levy when he was 19 years old and had the intellectual firepower to cover up that sensational crime but was caught for two subsequent attacks later? That he was so smart that he could hide her body essentially in the open for a year? That there is, after a year, enough evidence from a body exposed to the four seasons, to convict this man of killing Chandra Levy? How do you spell s-e-t-u-p? To believe that Guandique is truly guilty, it would require that we believe the detectives on the case were profoundly inept or so corrupt as to have covered it up. Given the profile of the case, it is unlikely that either is true. Guandique, an obviously dangerous man–who deserves harsh penalties fitting the crimes he committed against his proven victims– is being in all probability being framed because he’s a convenient nobody who committed his crimes in the same place as Levy’s body was eventually discovered and now has reportedly “confessed” to another inmate–an obvious pinnacle of credibility. Pinning it on Guandique may be a way of clearing the way for Gary Condit to resurrect his political career or in the least make another attempt to clear his name. Chandra Levy’s disappearance was far too timely in light of the damage his affair with her could cause his political career. Interestingly, due to the lawsuits Gary Condit has filed and won in this case over the years for libel, the Levy’s are keeping mum about the latest developments, cryptically stating “we all know who the real killer is” (see other reports) and indicating that life in prison is what her “killer” deserves. They do not mention Guandique by name. Gary Condit may have committed the actual murder of Chandra Levy, it is likely that Condit was the conduit for this girl’s death. And now he may be indirectly a conduit for the conviction of a known criminal for a crime that he, ironically, did not commit. With the passing of that piece of disenfranchising legislation known as the Patriot Act, and the rampant burgeoning corruption in the Washington political system, it’s not a stretch to imagine that the game is once more afoot in the Chandra Levy case.
I know that DNA was not around at the time of this horrible murder. Why when DNA did come out and it was perfected didn’t they check it all this time. I don’t blame the parents not being that excited over the possiblity of his rearrest but this is such a long time coming and that is a fact.
Even though she had this “affair” I am very glad that they will be clearing the politian from doing this murder.
MAY GOD BLESS HER MOTHER AND FATHER NOW AND FOR ALL TIME AS I AM SURE HE WILL!!!
