CHANDRA ANN LEVY (24) - Modesto woman missing since 04/30/01
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Levy Family May Sue Rep. Gary Condit--(A/P)
The lawyer for Chandra Levy's family raised the possibility Thursday of a lawsuit against Rep. Gary Condit if police are unable to solve the former federal intern's disappearance.
Condit aide denies report he encouraged woman not to talk to police--(CNN)
A top aide to Rep. Gary Condit flatly denied a report that he told a woman not to speak to law enforcement authorities about an alleged affair between the congressman and her.
Lawyer: Levy's Parents May Sue Condit--(Fox News)
Chandra Levy's parents may sue Rep. Gary Condit if the missing former intern isn't found, the family's lawyer said in an interview Thursday.
Cops Think Aide Helped Condit Ditch Watch Box--(Fox News)
Washington, D.C., police believe the car Rep. Gary Condit was in when he discarded a watch box belonged to one of his senior aides, who was driving the car, law enforcement sources have told Fox News.
What Was Chandra Thinking?--(Fox News)
With little physical evidence to go on, answering that question might be the only thing that helps authorities find out what happened to the 24-year-old federal intern. And answering that question is the job of the FBI profiler who has been called into the investigation.
Condit Ready to Talk to FBI, Sources Say--(Fox News)
Condit aides hire powerful lawyers--(The Modesto Bee)
The price of loyalty to Ceres Rep. Gary Condit is growing steeper for his senior staff members, who now have hired lawyers. The hiring of well-known defense attorneys by Condit aides Mike Dayton and Mike Lynch suggests the seriousness of the questions investigators are posing. It also demonstrates how Condit's office has become tangled in the net that investigators have cast for missing Modesto woman Chandra Levy.
