Cops: Condit didn’t do it

By Paul Sperry

WASHINGTON – Authorities are now convinced that missing intern Chandra Levy was murdered, ruling out abduction and suicide, but they don’t think her lover Rep. Gary Condit had anything to do with it.

More than likely, police say, she was killed by someone else she knew.

“She’s dead, and he didn’t do it,” said a D.C.
Metropolitan Police detective, citing, among other
things, a lack of physical evidence linking Condit to
any foul play.

Police doubt that Levy, last seen April 30, was a victim of random street crime.

“She more than likely went into someone’s car or house that she knew and trusted, for whatever reason – it was a neighbor, or just someone she’d met around her apartment or at the gym or work – and that was it,” he told WorldNetDaily.

“The guy – or girl – who killed her just didn’t know she was involved with a U.S. congressman and that this would be a high-profile crime,” the detective added.

Only Levy’s keys and a gold ring were found missing from her Dupont Circle apartment. She left behind her wallet and driver’s license.

Her laptop computer, which she last used May 1 to surf the Internet until about 1 p.m., was found open in her apartment.

“She was probably picked up by someone she knew,” the detective said.

An FBI agent familiar with the case agrees, adding that Levy was more than likely the victim of an argument that got out of hand.

“Whoever picked her up probably said, ‘Hey, I only want to talk to you for a little while. Come into my car and we’ll drive around,'” the agent said. “And then he or she killed her.”

Police have interviewed other people besides Condit, but have no strong suspects. And until they recover Levy’s body – or get a confession – they can’t collar anyone for a crime.

Police have searched parks, buildings, creeks and rivers for her body, but have come up short.

“Where is the body? Chesapeake Bay,” the FBI agent speculated.

“The bay is the best place to dispose of a body,” she said. “Hell, if you chop it up into little pieces, the crabs will get it in a nanosecond.”

Police have probed the Potomac River for Levy’s body, but dredging the bay is a major undertaking.

Though authorities say there’s a chance Levy knew her attacker through Condit, they dismissed stories bruited about the Internet that a male prostitute was involved.

“There’s no conspiracy, no cover-up and none of this bizarre sexual stuff,” the D.C. detective said.
