Chandra Levy
Intern / Murder Victim
Chandra Levy, a former intern at the Federal Bureau of Prisons, disappeared from Washington D.C. on 1 May 2001. Levy was due to return to her home in California for college graduation ceremonies; when she failed to do so, her parents contacted authorities. Police searched Levy's apartment and found money, credit cards, her packed luggage and no signs of a struggle. Newspapers reported that Levy had some sort of relationship with California Rep. Gary Condit; Condit at first called her a "good friend," but in July of 2001 he admitted to police that he and Levy had had a romantic affair. (Levy's status as an intern drew extra attention to the case, thanks in part to intern Monica Lewinsky's infamous affair with former president Bill Clinton, which Condit had publicly condemned.) On 22 May 2002 Levy's remains were discovered in a Washington, D. C. park. One week later the D.C. medical examiner ruled that Levy's death was a homicide. The exact date and manner of her death remain unknown, and no one has ever been charged in the murder.Chandra Levy joins aviatrix Amelia Earhart and skyjacker D.B.
