The Chandra Levy killer?

Remember her death seven years ago?

Well, the Washington Post takes you back through it, and all the mistakes and lethargy of the D.C. Police Department in investigating it.

And, the killer is? Well, it’s not then-Congressman and alleged Levy lover Gary Condit.

It could well be a Guatemalan immigrant named …

Sorry, you gotta go read it. Let’s say he’s been named before on the police radar screen.

So, WHY was the case botched? Arrogance of D.C. Police Chief Ramsey? Arrogance further down the line? Lack of funding for the department? Laziness?

At the same time, as many readers of the series noted, is the ongoing attention in large part due to Levy being a white woman? I wouldn’t argue against it, at least.
