Chandra Levy case cracked?

D.C. Police are reportedly ready to arrest a Salvadorean immigrant, 27-year-old Ingmar Guandique, in the case. Guandique was questioned at the same time Rep. Gary Condit was revealed to be having an affair with the Congressional intern. Guandique was convicted of attacking two women in Rock Creek Park shortly after Levy disappeared.

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.
