Imprisoned Salvadoran reportedly is suspect in her killing in 2001
Associated Press / Tues., March. 3, 2009
WASHINGTON - An arrest warrant was issued Tuesday for an imprisoned Salvadoran immigrant in the killing of federal intern Chandra Levy, nearly eight years after the case captivated the nation's capital and ended the career of a congressman.
The warrant accuses Ingmar Guandique of killing Levy on May 1, 2001, as she walked her dog through Washington's Rock Creek Park, said U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Taylor. Guandique, 27, is already serving time in a federal prison in Adelanto, Calif., for attacking two women in the same park.
"It dawned on me that there's very little I can do or anyone else can do for the Levys other than to offer them justice," District of Columbia Police Chief Cathy Lanier said at a news conference. "This has been a long time coming."
The warrant is the latest development in an investigation that had gone cold for years after destroying the career of former U.S. Rep. Gary Condit of California.
Investigators in 2002 questioned Guandique in Levy's slaying after he was convicted in the other attacks, but he was not charged at the time.
Levy was 24 and had just completed an internship with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons when she disappeared in May 2001 after leaving her Washington, D.C., apartment. The Modesto, Calif., woman was wearing jogging clothes when she vanished, and a man walking his dog found her skull and bones in the park a year later.

I feel so much sympathy for the Levy family. What a horrible end to their daughter's promising future. All she did was go hiking in a park in our nation's capitol. What a damn shame.
ReplyDeleteAll the what if's.........
Particularly, what if our damn government actually protected our borders from illegal violent felons. Too bad the Levy's can't sue the government for not keeping this killer out of here.
It would be difficult for me to "grow a pair" since I am a lady, but you're right about defending oneself. Law enforcement comes into play after a crime has been committed.
ReplyDeleteI only lamented how undeniably we've all been failed by our government's horrid lack of border security. And our elected officials look upon these millions of illegals as potential future voters and are trying to find a loophole to give them citizenship, eligible to vote.
Talk about not giving a shit about the American people. We should clean out both houses of Congress and start over with all new legislators.
