Chandra Levy has been found

I had heard rumours that there was a serial killer operating in the area when she disappeared. Of course, that was a long time ago, and the cops are certainly not going to say those words to the press unless absolutely unavoidable. Don't know if it was true or not...(but there are a whole lot of "serial killers" operating all the time in many locations. Either they just don't tell the public, or they haven't made the connections in cases.)

I'm sorry AliCat, I didn't mean to come across rudely. According to ABCNEWS.com, he was looking ( observing ) for turtles. Not to kill them or hurt them, just as an observance.

I just got finished watching Entertainment Tonight (where I seem to get all of my most important news ) and they had John Walsh from America's Most Wanted on. He will be going with the serial killer angle. I had talked to my Dad several months ago about the serial killer idea (he still lives outside of DC), and it seems like the police are discounting that idea. Who knows, America's Most Wanted seems to have had a great track record catching crimimals. Let's hope they can help solve this one.

D ~ I didn't think you were being rude! I was just affirming that was what I was confused about! Sorry if I sounded like I thought you were rude, I didn't mean to and didn't think that. I was jsut very confused. I still don't really get it, but I understand what he was doing. I guess maybe his dog really has fun finding them. It just doesn't sound like much fun!

LOL Alicat! Yeah, I don't think it sounds like much fun either!!

But, I know my husband will take my son into the woods to "find" stuff like turtles and frogs just so my child can learn about wildlife and see them in their environment. Maybe this guy just likes finding animals to observe!!

Call it crazy! I'd surely never go turtle hunting!!

It's a guy thing! Thank goodness he was there before the remains were so totally scattered that the Levys would never have known what happened to her.
You should see some of the ugly things my son brought from a small creek for me to put in my aquariums. Creepy, crawly, slimy? Guys like them.

Personally, I don't really think that Condit had anything to do with it. I just read an article in the Houston Chronicle that said two women wearing walkmans had been attacked from behind in the same park, one a week after Chandra's dissappearance and one the next month, but both women put up a fight and got away. The article said that as far as remains were concerned everything was bones. They also said that these were the items found: jogging bra, sweat shirt, tennis shoes, and walkman. Her remains were found off the jogging trails in severely dense foliage on a slope.

The guy that attacked the women is in prison serving 10 years. The police questioned him after Chandra's dissappearance but got no leads on the guy. It said in the paper that the police are looking to question him again.

I found it odd that they didn't mention that they also found socks, jogging pants or even any underwear, since the did mention her jobbing bra. It makes me think that she might have been rapped or animals may have dragged them away from the immediate vicinity. I don't know maybe they just want to keep some of the articles under wraps.

The reason I don't think Condit did it because if he had hired someone I would imagine they would have the common sense to better hide the remains. Not that it would be common sense, but you know what I mean.

I think this whole thing is just so sad but I'm sure with forensics it will bring closure to the family as to how their daughter died and maybe bring her killer to justice.

I don't think Condit had anything to do with it. He has too much to lose. He was really pushing it having an afair with her, but murder is something else. He's just another slimeball politician who got caught with his pants down. I heard this morning that they couldn't determine the exact cause of death, or if she were pregnant when she was killed. My bet is on the guy that attacked the 2 others.

This looks like she was a convenient target for some sicko. Its just coincidence that she was connected to a Congressman. Her friends say that she would NEVER have jogged in that park, though, because it wasn't safe. The cops and the medical examiner are going to hold back info, though. There's, always something that only the killer could know that might lead to a conviction. One of the talking heads said, yesterday, that the family was "devastated" by the news that she is dead. Well, duh! Until there's a break in the case, they should leave those people alone, to bury their dead and grieve in peace.

That's odd, because someone on our local news said that she jogged on the park trails a lot but that trail was her first time.

Anyhow, news anchors are always messing things up.

I read recently in the paper that they also found knotted stockings by her skull suggesting that she had been bound before she was killed. They also said in the article that it would be difficult or impossible to find out exactly how she died since the skeletal remains didn't show any obvious trauma.

I'm starting to wonder, too, if she was raped and then killed by some sicko, especially after the DC coroner cannot make an exact conclusion on how she died. I would have thought if she were beaten or shot, there would be some trauma on the skeletal remains. Maybe she was just out for a jog and some sicko was there during the same time? I guess we will never know. I feel bad for the family, too. I hope they are able to find her pinky ring that they gave her.
