Interesting.
I remember early on I had doubts about Guandique after I read a detailed history of his crimes. What made me wonder was that he had been accused in an incident where he broke and entered into a woman's apartment one week after Chandra Levy disappeared. In that case, the woman was middle aged and managed to scare him off by screaming, slapping and kicking at him. Made me wonder if he really was guilty of Chandra Levy's murder because being scared off by a woman screaming and flailing at him didn't exactly sound like a really dangerous predator.
I still have doubts that it was Condit, who just never seemed like a good suspect to me. For one thing, it was clear that under pressure, he did really stupid stuff.
I could easily be wrong but right now, I'm thinking the perp is probably someone who flew under the radar and may never have been a suspect at all.
Chandra didn't jog or exercise outdoors and certainly didn't take it up the day she disappeared, just dealing with where she lived and where she ended up should give any person great pause, after all, not one person claiming she did this has ever re-enacted it themselves, man or woman. But it needs to be a woman re-enacting it before I'll consider they know what they're talking about.
So why are people throwing Chandra into some situation where under the radar people or park predators are hunting her down? Does anyone have any idea where she was found? It is a lonely isolated forest on top of the tallest hill in DC, down in a ravine off a horse trail. I was there an entire afternoon and I think I saw two couples come through there walking their dogs. A woman would be insane to be up there alone deep in a forest on a horse trail and off on a path to nowhere. There's literally no one who could re-enact what's claimed who would continue to claim it.
However, the spot is at a picnic table on top of the hill that is ideal for driving through at night, pulling in to next to the picnic table, and hauling a bound body out the path to nowhere and down the steep hillside to hide the body. That is what would normally happen, and Chandra taking up death marchiing on the day she disappeared would be the last thing any reasonable person would propose.
But the DC police and prosecutirs weren't reasonable. They will do whatever it takes and tell whatever lies it takes to have Chandra place herself there through highways and byways with nothing but a Walkman cassette player, nothing, to become a victim as she knew as well as anyone as she preached safety, was a Modesto police intern, minored in Criminal Justice in college, studied self-defense, and never placed herself alone in danger.
Yet to make it convenient for DC to blame a park predator where her body was found, they completely ignored who would bring her body to that isolated spot and hide it.
And it wasn't someone under the radar. The care taken to hide her body, the trek down the side of that hill is very difficult, indicates someone who knew her.
That her ring and bracelet were missing but never pawned indicates a staged robbery but someone who knows her who can't risk being identified pawning it.
That someone took her keys without her having an id as to where she lives indicates someone who knows her.
That she was bound with her tights in sophisticated bondage indicates the person was comfortable using bondage.
That is what police and prosecutors should think about, someone on Chandra's radar, not under it.
