DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

Connie Chung:
CONGRESSMAN CONDIT,

DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
TO CHANDRA LEVY?

NO. I DO NOT.

DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
WITH HER DISAPPEARANCE?

NO. I DIDN'T.

DID YOU SAY ANYTHING,
OR DO ANYTHING,

THAT COULD'VE CAUSED HER
TO DROP OUT OF SIGHT?

YOU KNOW, CHANDRA AND I
NEVER HAD A CROSS WORD.

[ INHALES ]

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
IF THERE WAS ANYONE

WHO WANTED TO HARM HER?

NO.

DID YOU CAUSE
ANY TO HARM HER?

NO.

DID YOU KILL CHANDRA LEVY?

I DID NOT.

[ SUSPENSEFUL CHORD STRIKES ]

Narrator:
IT'S ONE OF THE MOST
BAFFLING DISAPPEARANCES

IN RECENT HISTORY.

SO MUCH INTRIGUE.

POWER MEETS BEAUTY.

WHAT'S GOING ON
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS?

NOW, IN THE SECOND OF THIS
THREE-PART SPECIAL,

THE LEVYS' PRIVATE
INVESTIGATOR EMBARKS

ON A PERILOUS SEARCH
FOR CHANDRA.

HE SAID, "YOU DON'T KNOW
WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH.

[ SINISTER MUSIC PLAYS ]
THESE PEOPLE WILL KILL ME.

I CAN'T GET INVOLVED."

A GRUESOME DISCOVERY
IN AN URBAN OASIS.

Palmer:

SOMETHING DIABOLICAL
IS GOING ON THERE.

A NEW SUSPECT EMERGES.

HE GIVES
ALL THE INDICATIONS

THAT HE WAS
A SERIAL PREDATOR.

AND, LATER, A MYSTERIOUS
FIGURE OPENS OLD WOUNDS.

IS IT POSSIBLE
THAT THIS WOMAN ALLOWED

THE KILLER TO WALK FREE?

[ OMINOUS CHORD STRIKES ]

Alexander:
THIS TRULY WAS THE CRAZIEST CASE
EVER TO HIT WASHINGTON, DC.

Dimond:
WHO KILLED CHANDRA LEVY?

Doyle: THE STORY GOES
FROM ZERO TO 60 VERY QUICKLY.

Dimond:
WHY IS A 53-YEAR-OLD CONGRESSMAN
CALLING A YOUNG INTERN?

Chung:
DID YOU KILL CHANDRA LEVY?

I DID NOT.

Grimm:
THEY SIMPLY FOUND BONES
IN A PARK ALMOST A YEAR AFTER.

Alexander:
THERE WERE NO EYEWITNESSES.

THERE WAS
NO MURDER WEAPON.

Dimond:
THEY'D FINALLY PUT IT
ALL TOGETHER,

AND IT POINTED TO ONE MAN:

INGMAR GUANDIQUE.

Grimm:
MR. MORALES WAS A JAILHOUSE
SNITCH, A RAT.

Velez-Mitchell:
THIS CASE THAT TOOK
SO MANY YEARS TO BUILD

HAS COLLAPSED OVERNIGHT.

[ DISTORTED TUNE PLAYS ]

Susan:
IT'S THE WORST THING
A MOTHER COULD EVER FACE.

**

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]

Narrator:
IT'S BEEN MONTHS SINCE

WASHINGTON, DC INTERN
CHANDRA LEVY

DISAPPEARED WITHOUT A TRACE.

BACK IN CALIFORNIA,
HER PARENTS' MINDS ARE RACING.

[crying] WE JUST WANT
OUR DAUGHTER HOME ALIVE.

WE'RE NOT SURE WHETHER
THAT'S POSSIBLE OR NOT,

AND WE WANT HER HOME.

IT'S NOT LIKE HER NOT TO CALL
OR BE IN TOUCH.

[ MELANCHOLY TUNE PLAYS ]
MAYBE SHE RAN OFF,

HAD A SCHIZOPHRENIC EPISODE,
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I MEAN, YOU THINK
OF ALL THOSE THINGS.

THERE'S A REASON
WHY SHE DIDN'T TURN UP.

YOU KNOW, WE ALL THOUGHT MAYBE
SHE'D BE SEEN SOMEWHERE.

YOU THINK,
"WELL, SHE'S HIDING."

WE HAD HOPE,
BUT IT WAS SCARY AS HELL.

Narrator:
POLICE HAVE SOUGHT ANSWERS FROM
A POWERFUL PERSON OF INTEREST:

UNITED STATES CONGRESSMAN
GARY CONDIT.

THE CONGRESSMAN
AND CHANDRA LEVY

HAVE HAD AN AFFAIR.

BUT, DESPITE EVIDENCE,
CONDIT HAS DENIED

ANY ROMANTIC INVOLVEMENT
WITH CHANDRA.

HE'S BEING VERY EVASIVE
AND, OF COURSE,

THAT MAKES THE POLICE
ALL THAT MORE SUSPICIOUS,

AND THEY THINK MAYBE GARY CONDIT

HAD SOMETHING TO DO
WITH HER DISAPPEARANCE.

[ EERIE MUSIC PLAYS ]

Narrator:
A MASSIVE SEARCH EFFORT
IS UNDERWAY.

WE HAVE TO FIND HER.
WE HAVE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION

"WHAT HAPPENED TO CHANDRA LEVY?"

UNTIL WE CAN DO THAT,
I'M NOT REAL HAPPY

WITH WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW,
BUT I KNOW THAT OUR PEOPLE

ARE WORKING AS HARD
AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN.

WE REALLY HADN'T FOUND EVIDENCE
OF WHERE CHANDRA WAS.

Narrator:
INVESTIGATORS HAVE BEEN
TRYING TO GAIN ACCESS

TO A VALUABLE SOURCE
OF INFORMATION

THEY SEIZED WEEKS AGO.

WHEN THEY SEARCH
CHANDRA'S APARTMENT

AND THEY ZERO IN
ON HER COMPUTER,

THEY START TO FIDDLE AROUND
WITH IT, AND IT CRASHES.

THE ENTIRE COMPUTER
WAS CORRUPTED.

Narrator:
NOW, FORENSIC TECHNICIANS
FINALLY HAVE CHANDRA'S LAPTOP

UP AND RUNNING.

WE WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN
FORENSIC ANALYSIS

AND GARNER INFORMATION
OFF OF THE COMPUTER.

Trainum:
THE EXPERTS WERE ABLE
TO GET IN THERE

AND FIND OUT WHAT SHE HAD
SEARCHED RIGHT BEFORE

SHE HAD LAST TURNED
HER COMPUTER OFF.

THIS WAS A BIG DEAL.

IT SHOWS WHAT SHE WAS DOING

IN THE HOURS
BEFORE HER DISAPPEARANCE.

Narrator:
THE ANALYSIS FINDS THAT,
ON MAY 1st,

THE DAY SHE WAS LAST HEARD FROM,

CHANDRA LOGGED ON
TO THE INTERNET AT 10:27 AM

AND VISITED SEVERAL WEBSITES.

THEY LOOK AT WHAT
SHE'S BEEN SEARCHING

AND THEY DISCOVER, ON MAY 1st,
AMONG THE SITES SHE VISITED

WAS CONGRESSMAN CONDIT'S
HOMEPAGE.

Narrator:
BUT IT'S ONE OF THE LAST
SEARCHES CHANDRA ENTERED

THAT PIQUES
INVESTIGATORS' INTEREST.

THEY FOUND A SEARCH
FOR THE PIERCE-KLINGLE MANSION

IN ROCK CREEK PARK.

Narrator:
ROCK CREEK PARK IS
A NEARLY-2,000-ACRE WOODLAND

THAT BISECTS WASHINGTON.

IT'S LIKE A FOREST
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY.

THE PIERCE-KLINGLE MANSION
IS A LANDMARK

WITHIN THE ROCK CREEK PARK.

THAT'S A PERFECT PLACE
TO MEET SOMEONE

IN THIS BIG, HUGE EXPANSE.

Narrator:
CHANDRA'S APARTMENT IS ONLY
2 MILES FROM THE PARK,

BUT HER INTEREST
IN THE MANSION IS A MYSTERY.

WE JUST WEREN'T SURE HOW IT
PLAYED IN, BUT IT WAS A LEAD

AND, WHEN YOU HAVE NO LEADS,
YOU'LL FOLLOW ANYTHING.

Narrator:
POLICE GATHER REINFORCEMENTS
AND RUSH TO THE LARGE,

URBAN PARKLAND TO LOOK
FOR ANY SIGNS OF CHANDRA.

ROCK CREEK PARK IS NOT
YOUR TYPICAL URBAN PARK.

IT'S GOT A HUGE CREEK
RUNNING THROUGH IT.

IT'S GOT ROCKY AREAS AND AREAS
THAT ARE JUST PURE WILDERNESS.

IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT

TO DO A COMPLETE SEARCH
OF EVERY SINGLE INCH OF IT.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKIN' FOR
IS OBVIOUSLY ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS

IN AREAS THAT WOULD NOT BE
ACCESSIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE

AND, IF SOMEONE ACCIDENTALLY
FELL OFF THAT LEDGE,

THEY MIGHT NOT BE FOUND
FOR A WHILE.

TO THE EXTENT THAT WE SEARCHED
THAT PARK, TO MY RECOLLECTION,

WE HAD NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE.

THERE'S AN EXHAUSTIVE SEARCH,

BUT THEY FAIL TO FIND
ANYTHING CONCLUSIVE.

Narrator:
AFTER MONTHS OF SEARCHING,

THE LEVY FAMILY
IS DEEPLY FRUSTRATED

BY THE STATE
OF THE INVESTIGATION.

WE COULDN'T JUST TRUST THE
POLICE COULD DO ALL THE WORK.

IT WAS A LOT OF WORK.

WE NEEDED TO FIND
AS MUCH AS WE CAN.

WE NEEDED SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT
COULD DO MORE INVESTIGATION,

SO WE HAD PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS.

[ SUSPENSEFUL FLOURISH PLAYS ]
MY NAME IS JOE McCANN.

I WAS A HOMICIDE DETECTIVE
AND THEN A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR.

I WAS BROUGHT
INTO THE LEVY INVESTIGATION

BY THE LAW FIRM THAT REPRESENTED
THE LEVY FAMILY.

Narrator:
McCANN HAS NEVER CONDUCTED
A TELEVISED INTERVIEW

ON THE SUBJECT.

NOW, HE OFFERS US
EXCLUSIVE INSIGHT

INTO HIS DOGGED
PURSUIT OF CHANDRA.

WE SET UP
OUR OWN 800 NUMBER.

LEADS ARE COMIN' IN
ALL THE TIME

AND TOOK US DOWN MANY,
MANY DIFFERENT PATHS.

AFTER A MONTH OF SORTING
THROUGH TIPS,

McCANN HEARS A TALE
THAT INTRIGUES HIM.

THIS ONE PARTICULAR NIGHT,
IT'S JUST ME AND MY PARTNER.

THE 800 NUMBER RINGS.

WE ANSWER THE PHONE.

THERE'S A GENTLEMAN ON THE
OTHER END OF THE PHONE

WHO DOESN'T WANNA
GIVE US HIS NAME,

BUT HE'S GOT THIS STORY TO TELL

ABOUT CHANDRA BEING
IN CALIFORNIA

AND, AS WE LISTENED TO IT,
IT DID SOUND CREDIBLE.

SO WE STARTED TO FOCUS ON THIS.

Narrator:
THE TIP RELATES TO A SIMMERING
RUMOR THAT'S BEEN CIRCULATING.

SOON AFTER CHANDRA DISAPPEARED,
SCUTTLEBUTT SUGGESTED

THAT SHE MIGHT'VE, INDEED,
BEEN PREGNANT.

NOW, THIS WAS NEVER
SUBSTANTIATED

AND NO ONE KNEW
WHO STARTED THE RUMOR,

BUT FOREVER IT HAS LONG HOVERED
OVER THIS MOST SORDID CASE.

Narrator:
WHILE HE IS SORT OF DETAILS,
THE TIPSTER PUTS FORTH

A BIZARRE, AND SEEMINGLY
OUTRAGEOUS, CLAIM:

HE HAS FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE
THAT CHANDRA GOT INVOLVED

WITH AN UNNAMED GANG
IN CALIFORNIA.

HE SAID, "YOU DON'T KNOW
WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH.

THESE PEOPLE WILL KILL ME.
I CAN'T GET INVOLVED."

MY PARTNER HUNG IN THERE
AND HE FINALLY GOT HIM TO SAY,

"OKAY. COME OUT AND MEET ME."

JUST THE FACT THAT THIS GUY
WAS SO RELUCTANT TO MEET WITH US

AND THERE WAS A REWARD

TOLD US THAT MAYBE THERE IS
SOMETHING TO IT.

Narrator:
McCANN AND HIS PARTNER
FLY OUT WEST.

McCann:
WE MEET HIM IN THE LOBBY
OF THE HOTEL.

HE'S SCARED TO DEATH.

HE TELLS US THIS VERY
ELABORATE STORY,

THAT HE WAS HIRED BY SEVERAL
PEOPLE TO RENT AN RV

AND MEET THEM
AND SOMEBODY ELSE IN NEVADA.

HE SAYS THEY ALL SHOW UP
WITH A YOUNG LADY.

HE RECOGNIZES HER
AS CHANDRA LEVY.

Narrator:
ACCORDING TO THE TIPSTER,

SHE WAS TAKEN TO A NEARBY
MOUNTAIN IN THE RV.

THERE, CHANDRA ENDURED
A PREGNANCY-RELATED PROCEDURE,

BUT, IT DIDN'T GO AS PLANNED.

DURING THIS EVENT,
SHE DIES,

AND THEY WIND UP BURYING HER
IN THE DESERT IN CALIFORNIA.

A STUNNED McCANN IS LEFT
WITH COUNTLESS QUESTIONS.

EXACTLY HOW AND WHY DID
THIS SCENARIO COME TO PASS?

BUT AS HE PRESSES HIM,

THE TIPSTER FEARS
HE'S SAID TOO MUCH.

McCann:
HE DOESN'T WANNA TALK ANYMORE.

HE SAYS, "LOOK. I'LL FINISH
THE STORY UP TOMORROW.

JUST GET ME HOME."

AND THEN WE FOLLOW UP
ON HIS LEADS.

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]

Narrator:
McCANN AND HIS PARTNER HEAD
TO THE MOUNTAINS

WHERE CHANDRA SUPPOSEDLY DIED

AND TALK TO PEOPLE
WHO LIVE NEAR THE SCENE.

BUT THEY COME UP EMPTY-HANDED.

BY THE END OF THE DAY,
I'M CONVINCED THAT THIS GUY IS

TELLING A STORY
AND IT'S NOT A VERY TRUE STORY.

SO I GO BACK TO CONFRONT HIM
AND I SAY TO HIM,

"HOW MUCH DID THESE GUYS
PAY YOU TO RENT THIS VAN?"

HE SAYS, "THEY GAVE ME $10,000."

WELL, I KNEW THAT THIS GUY
IS NOT SOMEBODY

WHO'S GONNA HAVE $2 ON HIM.

SO I SAY TO HIM,
"SHOW ME THE MONEY,"

AND, WITH THAT, THIS GUY
WAS LIVING IN A LITTLE TRAILER,

BREAKS OUT A BAG,

AND ALL I CAN SEE
IS THE HUNDREDS.

THERE'S THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS IN THERE.

HOW DOES A GUY LIKE THAT
GET THIS MONEY?

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING
TO THE STORY.

Narrator:
THEN, McCANN SEARCHES THE DESERT
FOR THE ALLEGED BURIAL SPOT.

HE FINDS NOTHING.

I WORK A LITTLE MORE
AND I'M STILL CONVINCED IT'S BS.

THERE'S NOTHING TO IT.

END OF STORY.

EXCEPT, WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?

Narrator: A TRUSTED SOURCE
REVEALS TO McCANN

HOW THE INFORMANT MANAGED
TO GET HIS HANDS ON THE MONEY.

THIS GUY, WHO I MET
IN CALIFORNIA,

IS A FLIMFLAM ARTIST.

HE WAS JUST LOOKIN'
FOR 15 MINUTES OF FAME.

SOMEBODY NOTIFIED A NEWSPAPER
THAT I WAS GONNA BE

IN CALIFORNIA,
AND WHAT I WAS DOING.

SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER,
THEY BEAT ME THERE.

SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS,
THE NEWSPAPER GOT TO HIM FIRST.

THEY HEARD HIS STORY.

THEY PAID HIM THE MONEY.

HE COST JUST A LOT OF EFFORT,

AND SO I WAS PRETTY ANNOYED,
PISSED OFF AT HIM.

THERE WAS JUST NOTHING.

THERE WAS REALLY NOTHING
ABOUT CHANDRA.

Narrator:
ACCORDING TO McCANN,

THE INCIDENT WAS JUST
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE PUBLIC

AND THE MEDIA'S FASCINATION
WITH THE CASE.

IMPORTANT NEW QUESTIONS
IN THE CASE OF CHANDRA LEVY.

MISSING INTERN CHANDRA LEVY.

THE 24-YEAR-OLD WOMAN
DISAPPEARED WITHOUT A TRACE.

Larry King:
WILL CHANDRA LEVY EVER BE FOUND?

A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO FOLLOWED IT
REMEMBER HOW CRAZY IT WAS.

YOU COULDN'T PICK UP
A NEWSPAPER, A MAGAZINE,

LISTEN TO A TV SHOW.

THE MEDIA WAS TALKING ABOUT IT.

IT WAS EVERY DAY.

IT WAS EVERY NIGHT.

IT WAS NONSTOP.

Narrator:
AS THE NEWS CYCLE
CONTINUES TO SPIN,

BOTH McCANN AND POLICE WORK
TO CULTIVATE NEW LEADS.

BUT IN LATE 2001,
EVERYTHING CHANGES.

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]
[ FLAMES CRACKLING ]

SO JUST AS THE LEVY-CONDIT
STORY WAS PEAKING,

IT WAS ECLIPSED BY
AN EVEN MORE SHOCKING EVENT,

AND THAT WAS THE TERRORIST
ATTACK ON SEPTEMBER 11th.

**

ONCE THE TWIN TOWERS FELL,
ONCE THE PENTAGON WAS BREACHED,

ONCE THE PLANE CRASHED
IN PENNSYLVANIA,

EVERYONE'S ATTENTION
WAS DIVERTED.

I CAME TO THE QUICK REALIZATION
THAT THE STORY

ABOUT CHANDRA LEVY
IS NO LONGER A STORY.

REPORTERS, LIKE MYSELF, STOPPED
PAYING ATTENTION ALTOGETHER

BECAUSE, NOW, WE'RE AT WAR

AND WHAT WAS THE LOSS OF ONE
CHILD IN THAT SCOPE OF THINGS?

WE DIDN'T GET THE MEDIA
ATTENTION ANYMORE,

AND THERE GO A LOT OF THE LEADS.

SO THINGS START TO DRY UP.

Narrator:
FROM McCANN'S COUNTERPARTS
AT METRO PD,

THEIR PRIORITIES
HAVE NOW SHIFTED.

DC POLICE WAS FOCUSED
ON STOPPING ATTACKS.

THERE WERE NO INVESTIGATIVE
RESOURCES LEFT

FOR THE DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS
ON THIS MISSING-GIRL CASE.

Narrator:
AS MONTHS TO BY,
THE CASE GOES COLD.

FOR OUR FAMILY,
WE WERE SHOCKED.

BUT WE WERE NOT EMOTIONAL,
LIKE MOST PEOPLE,

'CAUSE WE'VE ALREADY FELT
9/11 HAPPEN TO US.

**

AND THEN, MAY 2002,

A MAN WALKING HIS DOG
IN ROCK CREEK PARK

SPOTS SOMETHING ON THE GROUND

AND HE GOES DOWN INTO THE RAVINE
TO CHECK IT OUT.

HE IS ABSOLUTELY FLABBERGASTED.

[ DISTORTED TUNE PLAYS ]

AND THE FIRST THING HE DOES
IS CALL THE PARK POLICE.

**

Dispatcher: MM-HMM.

**

Narrator:
IN MAY 2002,

ONE YEAR AFTER DC INTERN
CHANDRA LEVY GOES MISSING,

A MAN WALKING HIS DOG
IN ROCK CREEK PARK

MAKES A GRUESOME DISCOVERY.
[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]

Palmer:

Dispatcher:

Palmer:

**

Narrator:
THE METRO PD
SPRING INTO ACTION.

HERE IS A SKULL
FOUND IN THE PARK

WHERE THEY BELIEVE
THAT CHANDRA HAD GONE MISSING

AND SO EVERYBODY GOES DEFCON 1.

THE POLICE ARRIVE.

THEY SEALED OFF
A VERY LARGE AREA

AND THAT BECAME
THEIR CRIME SCENE.

I WAS IN THE NEWSROOM

WHEN THE NEWS CAME THAT
THERE WERE REMAINS FOUND.

INSTANTLY, THE MEDIA
CAME FLOODING BACK

TO THE ROCK CREEK PARK SCENE,
WHERE INVESTIGATORS

BEHIND YELLOW TAPE
WENT ABOUT THEIR WORK.

WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING
AT THE SCENE,

BONES ARE SCATTERED EVERYWHERE,

AND THAT'S NORMAL
FOR THIS SORT OF SCENE.

IF THERE'S A BODY
THAT'S OUT IN THE ELEMENTS,

IT BEGINS TO DECOMPOSE

AND THEN ANIMALS AND OTHER
SCAVENGERS ATTACK THE BODY.

AS THEY'RE SYSTEMATICALLY
SEARCHING THE AREA,

THEY BEGIN TO FIND
VARIOUS ITEMS OF CLOTHING.

THIS TRAGIC SCENE IS FILLED
WITH PERSONAL EFFECTS:

SUNGLASSES,

A USC ATHLETIC T-SHIRT
TURNED INSIDE OUT,

A RUNNING SHOE,

AND BLACK RUNNING TIGHTS

THAT ARE INSIDE OUT

AND KNOTTED.

[ OMINOUS CHORD STRIKES ]

Narrator:
TO IDENTIFY THE
SKELETONIZED REMAINS,

INVESTIGATORS FOCUS
ON THE SKULL.

THEY ACTUALLY TAKE THE SKULL
TO THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE

WITH RED LIGHTS AND SIREN,
THEY WERE IN SUCH A HURRY.

THE MEDICAL EXAMINER
HAD ALREADY OBTAINED

CHANDRA'S DENTAL RECORDS,

SO HE WAS ABLE TO MATCH UP
THE VARIOUS FILLINGS,

MADE A POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION
THAT IT WAS CHANDRA.

[ MELANCHOLY TUNE PLAYS ]

WELL, AFTER THEY IDENTIFIED HER,
THEY CALLED US UP AND TOLD US.

THAT WAS JUST REALLY BAD.
I MEAN, JUST --

-IT WAS HORRIBLE.
-AS BAD AS ANYTHING CAN BE.

I'M POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS.

IT'S THE WORST THING
A MOTHER COULD EVER FACE.

THE MINUTE THAT BODY WAS FOUND,
I THOUGHT OF THEM

AND THE TRAVAILS
AND TROUBLES AND ANXIETY

THEY HAD GONE THROUGH
FOR SO LONG.

FINALLY, THEY HAD CHANDRA BACK,
BUT SHE WAS DEAD.

IT WAS A GUT PUNCH BECAUSE,
EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW THIS CASE

IS PROBABLY GONNA
END THAT WAY,

WHEN YOU'RE CONFRONTED WITH THAT
REALITY, IT'S STILL SHOCKING.

Narrator:
NOW, IT'S UP TO THE
MEDICAL EXAMINER

TO DETERMINE EXACTLY
HOW CHANDRA DIED.

FINDING A BODY IS MORE IMPORTANT
THAN AN EYEWITNESS

BECAUSE THE BODY DOESN'T LIE.

THE BODY IS GONNA TELL
THE MANNER AND MEANS OF DEATH.

Narrator:
IT WON'T BE EASY.

TIME AND THE ELEMENTS
HAVE TAKEN A TOLL.

IT'S OVER A YEAR

BEFORE CHANDRA LEVY'S
REMAINS ARE FOUND

AND, BECAUSE THEY'RE SKELETON
REMAINS, AT THIS POINT,

THERE'S VERY LITTLE
THEY CAN FIND OUT.

THERE WAS NO SOFT TISSUE
TO SHOW A STAB WOUND.

THERE WAS NO BULLET IN THE HEAD.

THERE WASN'T ANYTHING LEFT
OF HER THROAT

TO DETERMINE THAT SHE
MIGHT'VE BEEN STRANGLED.

THERE WAS NO WAY TO TELL
EXACTLY HOW SHE DIED.

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]

[ SINISTER MUSIC PLAYS ]
Narrator: POLICE ARE ABLE

TO DRAW SOME CONCLUSIONS,

BASED ON THE ITEMS
COLLECTED AT THE SCENE.

WHEN THEY FOUND HER LEGGINGS,

THERE WERE LIKE KNOTS
AND LOOPS IN THE LEGS.

IF SHE FELL DOWN THAT RAVINE

AND KNOCKED HER HEAD
AND DIED BY ACCIDENT,

THERE'S NO REASON
TO REMOVE YOUR PANTS.

Narrator:
THE KNOTS IN THE RUNNING TIGHTS

LEAD INVESTIGATORS
TO A GRIM CONCLUSION.

THE WAY THAT THEY WERE TIED
INDICATED THAT, POSSIBLY,

THEY WERE USED
AS A WAY TO BIND SOMEBODY.

SOMETHING VERY, VERY

SINISTER AND DIABOLICAL
IS GOING ON THERE.

THAT DEFINITELY WAS EVIDENCE

THAT SHE HAD BEEN
SEXUALLY ASSAULTED.

Narrator: THE METRO PD
ANNOUNCE THEIR FINDINGS.

WE KNOW THE MANNER OF DEATH
WAS HOMICIDE.

QUESTIONS STILL REMAIN:
HOW DID SHE GET THERE?

WAS SHE GOING TO SEE SOMEONE
WHEN SHE GOT THERE?

WAS SHE JUST OUT FOR A WALK?

THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF QUESTIONS
THAT HAVE TO BE ANSWERED.

Monroe:
NOW, WE'RE BACK TO SQUARE ONE.

WE HAVE AN UNSOLVED MURDER
OF A YOUNG LADY

WHO CAME TO WASHINGTON
TO LIVE HER DREAM,

AND HER DREAMS DIED HERE.

NOW, POLICE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT
"WHO KILLED CHANDRA LEVY?"

WAS IT CONGRESSMAN CONDIT?

[ MELANCHOLY TUNE PLAYS ]

Narrator:
WITH RENEWED PURPOSE,

INVESTIGATORS REVISIT THEIR
FIRST PERSON OF INTEREST.

THERE WERE THEORIES ABOUNDING.

CONDIT, PERHAPS, DID SOMETHING
TO MAKE THIS GIRL DISAPPEAR

BECAUSE HE WAS HAVING
A SEXUAL AFFAIR WITH HER.

Trainum:
THERE WAS A LOT OF THEORIES.

ONE WAS, SHE WAS MEETING
GARY CONDIT IN ROCK CREEK PARK.

EVERY STATEMENT, EVERY ACTION,

OF GARY CONDIT'S LIFE
COMES UNDER SCRUTINY.

Narrator:
ESPECIALLY HIS WHEREABOUTS
ON THE DAY CHANDRA WENT MISSING.

GARY CONDIT HAS AN ALIBI FOR THE
DAY THAT CHANDRA DISAPPEARS.

HE'S TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS.

HE WAS SITTING DOWN WITH
VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY,

TALKING ABOUT ENERGY POLICY,
OVER AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

Velez-Mitchell:
THEY DO SOME CHECKING.
THEY TALK TO HIS STAFF.

I MEAN, MEETING WITH THE VICE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?!

THAT CERTAINLY
COULD BE CONFIRMED.

THEN HE'S AT THE OFFICE AND THEN
HE GOES TO THE DOCTOR'S.

AT THIS POINT,

CONGRESSMAN CONDIT'S ALIBI
CHECKS OUT.

Narrator:
AND A CLOSER EXAMINATION
OF THE EVIDENCE

LEADS TO ANOTHER DEAD END.

AT THIS POINT,
NOTHING ON THE CRIME SCENE

ALLOWED THE INVESTIGATORS TO
LINK THIS CASE TO GARY CONDIT.

THEY DON'T HAVE ANY EVIDENCE

TO LINK HIM
TO CHANDRA LEVY'S MURDER.

MAYBE IT'S SOMEBODY ELSE.

THE PRESSURE STARTED TO BUILD
AND BUILD AND BUILD.

POLICE HAD TO DO SOMETHING.

Narrator:
INVESTIGATORS BEGIN TO WONDER
IF THE LOCATION OF THE CRIME

IS THE KEY TO SOLVING IT.

SO, TO DEVELOP NEW LEADS,

THEY TURN TO A SPECIALIZED
CRIMINOLOGIST.

I'M DR. KIM ROSSMO.

I'M THE GEOGRAPHIC PROFILER
WHO WAS BROUGHT ON

TO ASSIST IN THE INVESTIGATION

IN THE CHANDRA LEVY
DISAPPEARANCE AND MURDER.

I GOT A CALL FROM
DETECTIVE TRAINUM

AND HE SAID
THAT HE WANTED TO SEE

IF I MIGHT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
ANY SORT OF PERSPECTIVE.

KIM'S REALLY GOOD
AT LOOKING AT A CRIME SCENE

AND HELPING YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE SCENE

THAT KIND OF CONTRIBUTED
TO THE CRIME

OCCURRING AT THAT LOCATION?

Narrator:
ROSSMO CONDUCTS
A HOLISTIC EXAMINATION

OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY
IN ROCK CREEK PARK.

FOR ME, ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT EARLY QUESTIONS WAS,

"HOW COMMON ARE THESE ATTACKS
IN ROCK CREEK PARK?"

WE TOOK A LOOK AT THE DATA
FROM THE PARK'S POLICE

ABOUT THEIR CRIMES
IN THE 18-MONTH PERIOD

LEADING UP TO THERE
AND IT WAS VERY CLEAR

THAT CRIMES OF THIS NATURE
WERE JUST SO RARE.

Narrator:
BUT ROSSMO DISCOVERS

SOME INTRIGUING INCIDENTS.

WE SAW TWO ATTACKS
ON FEMALE JOGGERS

IN THE SHORT TIME PERIOD
FOLLOWING LEVY'S DISAPPEARANCE.

Narrator:
IN SEARCH OF A PATTERN,

ROSSMO PORES OVER THE DETAILS
OF THESE TWO CASES.

Dimond:
ON MAY 14th, A YOUNG WOMAN
NAMED HALLE SHILLING

DECIDED TO GO FOR A RUN
IN ROCK CREEK PARK.

IT WAS IN THE EARLY EVENING.

SHE WAS A YOUNG STUDENT,
JOURNALISM STUDENT,

TRYING TO GET HER MASTER'S.

WHEN SHE GOT TO THE PARK,
SHE NOTICED A HISPANIC MAN

SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT
AND SHE TOOK OFF FOR HER RUN.

SHE KEPT LOOKING BACK
OVER HER SHOULDER

AND SHE NOTICED
HE WAS BEHIND HER.

Narrator:
SHILLING GROWS FEARFUL
OF THE LOOMING STRANGER.

Dimond:
SHE WOULD SPEED UP
AND SLOW DOWN,

BUT HE WAS ALWAYS RIGHT THERE.

AND THEN, SUDDENLY,

HE GRABBED HER.

HE THREW HER DOWN
INTO THE FOREST.

HALLE DESCRIBES FIGHTING
FOR HER LIFE.

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]

BUT WHAT HE DIDN'T KNOW IS

SHE HAD TAKEN SOME
SELF-DEFENSE CLASSES.

SHE WAS ABLE TO ACTUALLY
PUT HER FINGERNAILS

INSIDE HIS MOUTH,
INTO HIS SOFT PALATE,

AND THAT WAS A BREAK SHE NEEDED.

HE LOOSENED HIS GRIP

AND SHE GOT UP AND RAN
OUT OF THE PARK,

AND SHE RAN STRAIGHT TO THE
POLICE AND REPORTED THE ATTACK.

Narrator:
THE ASSAILANT GETS AWAY.

AND, SOON, ANOTHER WOMAN
ENDURES A SIMILAR ENCOUNTER.

ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF
AFTER HALLE SHILLING'S ATTACK,

CHRISTY WIEGAND AND HER FIANCé

GO TO ROCK CREEK PARK
FOR A RUN.

AS IS USUAL,
HE PULLS AHEAD OF HER.

SHE SEES HIM ON THE ROAD AHEAD
AND THEN FINALLY HE DISAPPEARS.

[ OMINOUS MUSIC CLIMBS ]

AT THAT POINT, SHE REALIZES
THERE IS SOMEBODY BEHIND HER.

THERE IS A YOUNG HISPANIC MAN,
GAINING ON HER.

Narrator:
WITH NO ONE ELSE ON THE TRAIL,

WIEGAND ATTEMPTS
TO OUTRUN THE PURSUER.

Dimond:
ALL OF A SUDDEN,
SHE'S GRABBED FROM BEHIND.

THEY FALL DOWN INTO A RAVINE.

SHE SEES
A KNIFE IN HIS HAND.

HE PUTS HIS HAND OVER HER MOUTH
SO SHE CANNOT SCREAM.

SHE IS FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE.

HE DOESN'T TAKE HER
EXPENSIVE ENGAGEMENT RING,

HE DOESN'T TRY
TO TAKE HER WALKMAN,

AND SHE IS SURE SHE IS
ABOUT TO BE KILLED.

Narrator:
IN SHOCK, SHE INSTINCTUALLY
STRUGGLES WITH THE ATTACKER.

MIRACULOUSLY, SHE BREAKS
THE GRIP OF THIS ASSAILANT,

SCRAMBLES BACK UP,

AND REPORTS THE ATTACK
TO THE FIRST PERSON SHE SEES.

CHRISTY WIEGAND GIVES
A REALLY GOOD DESCRIPTION

OF HER ATTACKER.

HE'S YOUNG. HE'S HISPANIC.

HE'S WEARING A WHITE TANK TOP,
BAGGY SHORTS.

Narrator:
PARK POLICE IMMEDIATELY RESPOND
AND SEARCH THE SURROUNDING AREA.

THIS IS A SECOND
ATTACK IN 6 WEEKS.

THE PARK POLICE ARE WORRIED.

THEY SEARCH ALL THE RAVINES,

EVERYWHERE OFF
THE JOGGING TRACKS,

AND THEY FINALLY FIND
A YOUNG HISPANIC MAN

CROUCHED IN THE BUSHES, HIDING.

Narrator:
POLICE ARREST THE SUSPECT AND
BRING HIM IN FOR QUESTIONING.

THIS MAN IS INGMAR GUANDIQUE,

A SALVADORAN NATIVE WHO HAD COME
TO THE UNITED STATES ILLEGALLY.

Trainum:
WHEN THEY ASK HIM ABOUT
THE ATTACK, HE DENIED IT.

BUT THEY USED A DIFFERENT TACK,
AND ASKED HIM IF MAYBE HE JUST

ACCIDENTALLY BRUSHED UP
AGAINST SOMEBODY IN THE WOODS.

HE GAVE THEM THIS STORY
ABOUT, OH, YEAH,

HE WAS RUNNING
OR JOGGING IN THE WOODS

AND COLLIDED WITH
A WOMAN BY ACCIDENT

AND SO THEY KNEW THAT,
AT THAT POINT,

THAT THEY HAD THE RIGHT GUY.

Narrator:
BOTH WIEGAND AND SHILLING

IDENTIFY GUANDIQUE
AS THEIR ASSAILANT.

HE EVENTUALLY PLEADED GUILTY
TO ATTEMPTED ROBBERY

AND WAS SENTENCED
TO 10 YEARS IN PRISON.

Narrator:
AFTER REVIEWING THESE CASES,
ROSSMO IS ASTOUNDED

BY THE SIMILARITIES
TO CHANDRA'S MURDER.

WE TOOK A LOOK AT

ALL THE DIFFERENT BITS
OF INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE.

WE TOOK A LOOK AT THE LOCATION
WHERE CHANDRA'S BODY WAS FOUND

AND THEN WE LOOKED
AT THE LOCATIONS

WHERE THE ATTACKS ON THE TWO
FEMALE JOGGERS HAD OCCURRED.

THERE'S NO ONE ELSE AROUND.

ATTACKS LIKE THAT IN THE PARK
ARE REALLY RARE

AND, WHEN YOU'VE GOT
THREE OF THEM

IN A VERY SHORT TIME PERIOD,

THAT CALLS FOR THEM TO BE LOOKED
AT AS BEING CONNECTED CRIMES.

Narrator:
THE DETAILS OF GUANDIQUE'S
CIRCUMSTANCES

ALSO RAISE ROSSMO'S SUSPICIONS.

WE KNOW THAT HE LIVED JUST
TO THE EAST OF ROCK CREEK PARK

AND THERE WERE NO SIMILAR
ATTACKS AFTER THEY ARREST HIM.

IT MADE GUANDIQUE STAND OUT
LIKE A NEON SIGN.

HE HAD TO BE CONSIDERED
A VIABLE SUSPECT

AND NEEDED TO BE
EXPLORED FURTHER.

Narrator:
POLICE FOCUS IN ON THEIR
INCARCERATED SUSPECT.

GUANDIQUE'S ALREADY IN PRISON.

HE'S SERVING TIME
FOR THE FIRST TWO ATTACKS,

BUT THE INVESTIGATORS
WERE LOOKING FOR

ANY KIND OF CONNECTION,
ANY KIND OF EVIDENCE,

THAT MIGHT LINK HIM TO CHANDRA.

INGMAR GUANDIQUE IS THE BIGGEST
BREAK IN THIS CASE

IN A VERY LONG TIME.

IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER.

[ SUSPENSEFUL CHORD STRIKES ]

Narrator:
AFTER DISCOVERING

CHANDRA LEVY'S REMAINS
IN ROCK CREEK PARK,

POLICE IDENTIFY A PROMISING
SUSPECT NAMED INGMAR GUANDIQUE.

A CONVICTED FELON,
HE'S SERVING A SENTENCE

FOR ATTACKING TWO WOMEN
IN THE SAME PARK.

POLICE TRY TO INTERVIEW
FAMILY MEMBERS, ASSOCIATES,

BUILD A TIMELINE ON HIM.

THEY'RE ALSO LOOKING
FOR ANY KIND OF EVIDENCE

THAT MIGHT LINK HIM TO CHANDRA.

Narrator:
IN JANUARY 2000,

HE THEN-18-YEAR-OLD SALVADORAN
BEGAN HIS JOURNEY TO AMERICA.

MY NAME IS SYLVIA MORENO.

I'M A RETIRED
NEWSPAPER JOURNALIST.

I WORKED AT THE WASHINGTON POST
FOR 11 YEARS.

I COMMUNICATED SEVERAL TIMES
WITH GUANDIQUE THROUGH LETTER.

GUANDIQUE CAME
TO THE UNITED STATES

ILLEGALLY, FROM EL SALVADOR.

HE MADE HIS WAY THROUGH MEXICO.

HE SWAM ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE
INTO TEXAS.

HE MADE HIS WAY TO HOUSTON.

AND THEN HE MADE HIS WAY
TO WASHINGTON, DC.

[ MELANCHOLY TUNE PLAYS ]
HE'S GOT A FAMILY IN EL SALVADOR

THAT'S DEEPLY IMPOVERISHED.

HIS ROLE IN COMING
TO THE UNITED STATES

WAS TO GET A JOB,
ANY KIND OF JOB,

AND START SENDING MONEY HOME.

Narrator:
SOON AFTER ARRIVING,
GUANDIQUE FINDS MODEST SUCCESS.

Moreno:
HE STARTED WORKING.

HE WAS DOING, ESSENTIALLY,
DAY-LABORER-TYPE OF JOBS:

WORKING
AT A LANDSCAPING COMPANY,

WORKING AT A MASONRY COMPANY,

WORKING ON A MAINTENANCE CREW.

HE JUST DRIFTED, ESSENTIALLY,
FROM JOB TO JOB,

BUT HE FELL OFF THAT TRACK.

Doyle:
HE WAS DRINKING
AND TAKING DRUGS.

GUANDIQUE WAS A MAN
WITH NOT A LOT OF PROSPECTS.

HE WAS GOING NOWHERE.

Narrator:
IT'S NOT LONG BEFORE HIS NEW
HABITS FUEL EXPLOSIVE BEHAVIOR.

Moreno:
I INTERVIEWED HIS GIRLFRIEND
AND HER MOTHER.

THEY TOLD ME
HE WAS SOMEWHAT VOLATILE.

THEY HAD FIGHTS.

HE DID PUNCH HER ONE TIME,
HIT HER IN THE FACE,

BIT HER ABOVE HER BREAST.

SHE HAD A BITE MARK THERE.

AND I REMEMBER,
WHEN I WAS IN THE APARTMENT,

I SAW A HOLE IN THE WALL AND I
SAID, "WHAT HAPPENED HERE?"

AND THEY SAID,
"OH, INGMAR DID THAT.

HE GOT MAD
AND HE PUNCHED THE WALL."

I SAW, "WOW. THAT'S SOMEBODY
WITH A REALLY BAD TEMPER."

HE CAME TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE
IN WASHINGTON, DC,

BUT WHAT HE FOUND
INSTEAD WAS TROUBLE.

Narrator:
INVESTIGATORS BEGIN
TO PIECE TOGETHER

A TIMELINE
OF GUANDIQUE'S ACTIONS

AROUND MAY 1st,
THE DAY CHANDRA DISAPPEARED.

DURING THE INTERVIEWS
THAT OCCURRED,

GUANDIQUE'S LANDLADY
SAID THAT SHE SAW HIM

WITH BRUISES AND SCRATCHES
ON HIS FACE AROUND THAT TIME.

SHE ASKED HIM,
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?"

AND HE SAID, "OH, I GOT
IN A FIGHT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND."

BUT SHE ALSO THOUGHT HE WAS
ACTING RATHER PECULIARLY

AND, SUBSEQUENTLY,
INVESTIGATORS DISCOVERED THAT

HE HAD NOT GONE
TO WORK ON MAY 1st.

THIS IS A BIG
BREAKTHROUGH FOR COPS

BECAUSE THE HISTORY OF VIOLENCE,
THE NOT SHOWING UP FOR WORK,

HAVING THE SCRATCHES ON HIS FACE

THE SAME DAY THAT
CHANDRA DISAPPEARS?

IT WAS A STUNNER FOR EVERYONE.

Narrator:
TO FURTHER BUILD THEIR CASE,

INVESTIGATORS VISIT
GUANDIQUE IN PRISON.

HE SEEMS LIKE, FOR POLICE,
THE PERFECT SUSPECT,

BUT, IN AN INTERVIEW IN PRISON,
GUANDIQUE CLAIMS HE HAD NOTHING

TO DO WITH CHANDRA'S MURDER,
BUT, COPS HAVE TO SETTLE THIS,

SO THEY GIVE HIM A POLYGRAPH.

Narrator:
WITH THE HELP OF A TRANSLATOR,
POLICE PRESS GUANDIQUE

ABOUT MAY 1st
AND CHANDRA'S MURDER.

THE RESULTS ARE SURPRISING.

MR. GUANDIQUE SUCCESSFULLY
PASSES THE POLYGRAPH,

BUT IT'S STILL NOT SATISFACTORY
TO SOME INVESTIGATORS.

HERE'S THE PROBLEM:

HE DOESN'T SPEAK
VERY MUCH ENGLISH

AND THE POLYGRAPH EXAMINER
USED A TRANSLATOR,

WHICH COULD SKEW THE RESULTS!

SO, IN ESSENCE, WHO KNOWS?!

Narrator:
THE CASE AGAINST GUANDIQUE
IS AT A STANDSTILL.

THEY STILL DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH EVIDENCE

TO LINK HIM
TO CHANDRA LEVY'S MURDER.

THEY HAVE A GREAT
CIRCUMSTANTIAL CASE,

BUT THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T
FEEL LIKE IT HAS ENOUGH

TO GET OVER THE HURDLE
OF BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.

THE INVESTIGATION
JUST KIND OF LIKE DIES OFF.

Narrator:
ONCE AGAIN, THE INVESTIGATION
INTO THE MURDER OF CHANDRA LEVY

GOES COLD.

WITH INGMAR OUT OF THE PICTURE,
THERE ARE NO GOOD LEADS.

UNTIL ANOTHER SUSPECT
COMES ALONG:

ALBERT COOK.

COOK IS THIS VERY LARGE MAN

WHO WAS CAUGHT ASSAULTING
A WOMAN WALKING PAST HIS HOUSE.

Narrator:
THE 26-YEAR-OLD COOK
IS FROM ASPEN HILL, MARYLAND,

JUST OUTSIDE WASHINGTON.

HE HAS PREVIOUSLY
BEEN CONVICTED

OF INAPPROPRIATELY TOUCHING
A WOMAN IN A SHOPPING CENTER.

WHEN POLICE PICK HIM UP
IN 2001,

HE SUDDENLY CONFESSES
TO A MURDER IN ROCK CREEK PARK.

A 48-YEAR-OLD JOGGER,
AN ASIAN AMERICAN WOMAN.

HE ADMITS THAT HE GRABBED HER,
TORTURED HER, RAPED HER,

AND LEFT HER TO DIE IN THE PARK.

THAT HAPPENED NOT LONG BEFORE
CHANDRA LEVY GOES MISSING,

AND THERE'S A LOT
OF COMMONALITIES

BETWEEN THIS JOGGER

THAT ALBERT COOK BEAT
AND LEFT TO DIE

AND WHAT HAPPENED
TO CHANDRA LEVY,

WHO WAS STRIPPED NAKED AND DIED

IN THE SAME PARK!

Narrator:
IN MAY 2002,

COOK WAS SENTENCED TO LIFE
IN PRISON FOR HIS CRIMES

AND, NOW,
INVESTIGATORS SEEK HIM OUT.

POLICE QUESTION HIM.

HE FREELY ADMITS
TO KILLING THE JOGGER,

BUT HE SAYS HE HAS
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO

WITH CHANDRA LEVY'S DEATH.

Narrator:
POLICE THEN DISCOVER
SOMETHING THAT GIVES THEM PAUSE.

COOK WAS INTELLECTUALLY
DISABLED

AND THE CRIME THAT HE HAD BEEN
CONVICTED OF PREVIOUSLY

HAD OCCURRED NEAR HIS HOME.

Narrator:
BUT CHANDRA'S REMAINS WERE FOUND

FAR FROM HIS HOME,
ABOUT 10 MILES AWAY.

INVESTIGATORS DETERMINE
THAT, FOR COOK,

NAVIGATING THAT DISTANCE
WOULD BE A CHALLENGE.

POLICE BELIEVED THAT IT WAS
IMPLAUSIBLE TO THINK

THAT HE WOULD'VE BEEN ABLE
TO COMMIT AN ASSAULT ON CHANDRA,

SO, ULTIMATELY, HE WAS CLEARED.

[ OMINOUS CHORDS STRIKE ]

Narrator: ONCE AGAIN,
THE CASE LANGUISHES.

IT WILL BE ANOTHER FIVE YEARS
BEFORE NEW INFORMATION EMERGES.

IN 2008, THE WASHINGTON POST
DECIDES TO DO AN IN-DEPTH SERIES

LOOKING INTO CHANDRA LEVY'S
DISAPPEARANCE AND MURDER,

AND, BOY, WHAT THEY FIND?

BLOCKBUSTER.

THEY MAY HAVE EVEN TRACKED DOWN
CHANDRA'S KILLER.

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]

Narrator: IN 2008,

THE WASHINGTON POST
PUBLISHES

A 13-PART INVESTIGATION
ON THE CHANDRA LEVY CASE.

I'M KEITH ALEXANDER, A PULITZER
PRIZE-WINNING REPORTER

WITH THE WASHINGTON POST.

IT WAS THE FIRST TIME ANYONE
FROM THE OUTSIDE

HAD REALLY EXPOSED WHAT WAS
GOING ON WITH THIS CASE

AND SOME OF THE MISTAKES
THAT LED THE CASE TO GO COLD.

Narrator:
THREE MONTHS AFTER
CHANDRA DISAPPEARED,

THE POLICE CHIEF
GAVE INSTRUCTIONS

TO SEARCH THE PARK'S
ROADS AND TRAILS.

HOWEVER, THE SEARCH
WAS ONLY DONE

LIKE 100 YARDS
OFF OF ALL THE ROADWAYS,

AND NOT THE TRAILS.

BECAUSE THE SEARCH
WAS ONLY LIMITED

TO THAT AREA OFF THE ROADS,

THE AREA WHERE HER BODY
WAS ULTIMATELY FOUND

WAS NOT SEARCHED.

Narrator:
IF NOT FOR THIS CONFUSION,
CHANDRA MIGHT'VE BEEN FOUND

10 MONTHS EARLIER.

WHEN THE WASHINGTON POST
ARTICLE CAME OUT, YOU KNOW,

WE WERE HAPPY TO TALK TO THEM
AND THEY BROUGHT IT OUT,

THEY TRIED TO SOLVE IT
AND GET JUSTICE DONE.

THEY WERE ABLE TO GAIN ACCESS
TO SO MUCH

OF THE INSIDE INFORMATION
ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION.

Narrator:
IN ADDITION TO EXPOSING
HICCUPS IN THE SEARCH,

THE POST POINTS
TO A FORMER SUSPECT.

THEY'D FINALLY
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER,

AND IT POINTED TO ONE MAN:

GUANDIQUE.

THE NEWSPAPER PRESENTS
NEW EVIDENCE

THAT HAD SLIPPED
THROUGH THE CRACKS.

THE WASHINGTON POST
TRACKS DOWN A WOMAN

WHO SAYS SHE SAW
INGMAR GUANDIQUE

IN THE PARK ON THE SAME DAY
THAT CHANDRA LEVY DISAPPEARS,

AND SHE EVEN RAN AWAY FROM HIM

BECAUSE SHE FELT LIKE
HE WAS GOING TO ATTACK HER!

ANOTHER BOMBSHELL IS THAT,
YEARS EARLIER,

WHEN GUANDIQUE WAS ARRESTED,

HE WAS SHOWN A FLYER OF THE
THEN-MISSING CHANDRA LEVY.

HE SAID, "OH, YEAH.
I SAW HER IN THE PARK

AND SHE'S ATTRACTIVE."

HERE'S THE WORST PART:

UNBELIEVABLY, PARK POLICE NEVER
COMMUNICATED THAT INFORMATION

TO METRO POLICE,
WHO WERE WORKING

CHANDRA LEVY'S DISAPPEARANCE.

THEY HAD NO IDEA.

NOW, THAT, TO ME, IS A SHOCKER.

Narrator:
THE POST's REPORTING IS
A DAMNING INDICTMENT

OF THE POLICE'S
MISHANDLING OF THE CASE.

Trainum:
THE ERRORS ARE NOW OUT THERE
FOR EVERYBODY TO SEE

AND WE'RE EMBARRASSED.

IT DEFINITELY CAUSED US A LOT
OF PUBLIC-RELATION PROBLEMS.

PEOPLE WONDERED WHY THERE
HAD BEEN MANY MISTAKES,

ERRORS, AND MISHAPS IN THE
COURSE OF THE INVESTIGATION.

THE WASHINGTON POST SERIES
REALLY AMPS UP THE PRESSURE

FOR POLICE TO SOLVE THIS CASE,
ONCE AND FOR ALL,

WHATEVER IT TAKES.

WHAT THAT DID WAS THAT TOTALLY
REENERGIZED THE CASE

BECAUSE NOW THE MEDIA ATTENTION
IS BACK ON THE DEPARTMENT,

SO WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

Velez-Mitchell:
AND THE CLOCK IS TICKING

BECAUSE INGMAR GUANDIQUE'S
SENTENCE IS RUNNING UP.

HE COULD SOON BE RELEASED!

SO THEY BETTER CHARGE HIM,

IF THEY'RE GONNA
CHARGE HIM, ASAP.

Narrator:
IN RESPONSE TO THE
MOUNTING PRESSURE,

A RISING STAR IN THE FEDERAL
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

TAKES OVER THE CASE.

Alexander:
AMANDA HAINES WAS ONE OF THE
MOST SENIOR HOMICIDE PROSECUTORS

IN WASHINGTON, DC.

SHE WAS SO GOOD, THEY PUT HER ON
THE MOST DIFFICULT ASSIGNMENTS,

AND THAT'S COLD CASES.

AMANDA HAINES HAD A WAY
OF RELATING TO THE JURY.

SHE CAN TELL A STORY AND MAKE
PEOPLE SEE THE CRIME SCENE

AND SEE THE FINAL MOMENTS
OF THE VICTIM'S LIVES.

Narrator: THE STATE'S CASE
AGAINST GUANDIQUE

IS STILL
ENTIRELY CIRCUMSTANTIAL.

IN HOPES OF UNCOVERING
NEW EVIDENCE,

INVESTIGATORS VISIT HIM
IN PRISON.

WHEN DETECTIVES GO TO THE PRISON
TO INTERVIEW INGMAR GUANDIQUE,

THEY THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE
JUST A REGULAR,

NORMAL INTERVIEW,
BUT WHEN THEY GOT THERE,

THEY NOTICED
SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

THEY SAW SOMETHING
THAT THEY HAD NOT EXPECTED.

THEY SAW A PHOTO
OF CHANDRA LEVY IN HIS CELL,

RIGHT BY HIS BED,
WHICH WAS VERY ODD,

AND, AS THEY'RE TALKING
TO GUANDIQUE,

THEY SAW SOMETHING ELSE
THAT REALLY STRUCK THEM AS ODD.

THEY SAW A TATTOO
OF A WOMAN ON HIS BODY,

AND AS THEY LOOKED
AT THIS TATTOO,

THEY BELIEVE THAT IT
RESEMBLED CHANDRA LEVY.

Narrator:
INVESTIGATORS ARE STUNNED

BY GUANDIQUE'S SEEMING OBSESSION
WITH THE YOUNG WOMAN.

WHEN YOU SEE
SOMETHING LIKE THAT,

THERE'S ALWAYS
DIFFERENT EXPLANATIONS

THAT YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER.

IT COULD BE BECAUSE
HE KILLED HER

AND HE WANTED THIS MEMORY OF THE
EVENTS, FOR WHATEVER REASON.

IT COULD BE BECAUSE HE KNOWS

THAT HE'S BEEN UNDER
ALL THIS INVESTIGATION.

SENSING THAT THEY INDEED
HAVE THEIR PERP,

INVESTIGATORS ATTEMPT TO BAIT
HIM INTO SEALING THEIR CASE.

THE INVESTIGATORS TOOK SOME
EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES,

THAT INCLUDED SETTING UP WHAT
AMOUNTED TO A STING OPERATION,

CREATING A FALSE PERSONA
OF AN INDIVIDUAL

WHO WROTE LETTERS TO GUANDIQUE,
WITH AN APPARENT INTENT

TO GET HIM TO INCRIMINATE
HIMSELF IN WRITING.

Alexander:
ONE OF THE DETECTIVES
POSED AS A WOMAN

WHO WAS WRITING HIM LETTERS,
TRYING TO GET HIM TO CONFESS

ABOUT HIS INVOLVEMENT
WITH CHANDRA LEVY,

BUT HE DENIED HAVING ANYTHING
TO DO WITH CHANDRA LEVY.

HE NEVER REALLY CONFESSES
TO WHAT THE MURDER WAS.

Narrator:
THEN, OUT OF NOWHERE,
A MAN APPROACHES HAINES

AND HER FELLOW PROSECUTORS
WITH SHOCKING INFORMATION.

IT WAS A JAILHOUSE INFORMANT WHO
CAUGHT EVERYBODY BY SURPRISE.

Dimond:
WHO WAS THIS MAN?

WHAT DID HE KNOW?

COULD HE BE THE BREAK
IN THE CASE?

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]

**

Narrator: AS PROSECUTORS

LOOK TO INDICT
INGMAR GUANDIQUE

FOR THE MURDER
OF CHANDRA LEVY,

AN INFORMANT STEPS FORWARD.

INFORMANTS ARE AN IMPORTANT PART

OF ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT
INVESTIGATION.

ARMANDO MORALES IS
A FRESNO, CALIFORNIA, NATIVE,

A LIFETIME CRIMINAL
WITH A LONG RECORD

OF VIOLENT CRIMES, GUNS,
DRUGS, AND SO ON.

HE WAS A CELLMATE

OF INGMAR GUANDIQUE
IN KENTUCKY IN 2006.

ARMANDO MORALES
AND INGMAR GUANDIQUE

BELONGED TO A SIMILAR
GANG AFFILIATION

AND, AS A RESULT, THEY CONSIDER
THEMSELVES BROTHERS.

THEY WERE HONEST
WITH EACH OTHER.

THEY LOOK OUT
FOR EACH OTHER IN PRISON.

THEY TALKED ABOUT
EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

ACCORDING TO ARMANDO MORALES,

ONE OF THE THINGS
THEY TALKED ABOUT

WAS THE WHOLE CHANDRA LEVY CASE.

Narrator:
MORALES TELLS PROSECUTORS

THAT GUANDIQUE REVEALED
HIS DARKEST SECRET.

HE SAID THAT GUANDIQUE
CONFESSED TO HIM

THAT HE KILLED
CHANDRA LEVY.

MORALES CLAIMS GUANDIQUE
ADMITTED TO THE CRIME

TO AVOID BECOMING
A VICTIM HIMSELF.

RAPISTS, IN PRISON, ARE OFTEN
TARGETED FOR RAPES THEMSELVES.

THE REASON WHY HE OPENED UP,
ACCORDING TO ARMANDO MORALES,

WAS HE WAS AFRAID THAT
THE RUMOR WOULD SPREAD

THAT HE HAD ACTUALLY RAPED
AND KILLED CHANDRA LEVY

AND SO HE WANTED TO MAKE IT
VERY CLEAR TO ARMANDO MORALES

THAT HE DID NOT RAPE
CHANDRA LEVY,

THAT HE ONLY KILLED HER.

Narrator:
MORALES's TELLING
INCLUDES A DETAIL

THAT INTRIGUES AUTHORITIES.

THE INFORMANT SAID GUANDIQUE
CAME TO HIM

AND SAID THAT HE ATTACKED
CHANDRA IN THE PARK,

KILLED HER,
AND STOLE HER FANNY PACK.

Narrator:
TO INVESTIGATORS, THIS IS NEW
AND PLAUSIBLE INFORMATION.

PROSECUTORS ARE MAKING
THIS BIG DEAL, SAYING,

"WELL, NOBODY KNEW
ABOUT THE FANNY PACK.

HOW ELSE WOULD HE HAVE KNOWN
ABOUT SOME FANNY PACK,

UNLESS GUANDIQUE TOLD HIM?"

Narrator:
MORALES'S INSIDE KNOWLEDGE

IS EXACTLY WHAT PROSECUTORS
HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR.

IN MAY 2009, HAINES AND HER
COLLEAGUES REMAIN CONVINCED

THEY HAVE ENOUGH
TO FINALLY LAY CHARGES,

AND THAT THEY DO,

INDICTING INGMAR GUANDIQUE
WITH SEVERAL COUNTS,

INCLUDING FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.

NOW, THEY HAVE
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE

THAT THEY THINK
IS STRONG ENOUGH

TO SEND HIM AWAY
FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

Narrator:
GUANDIQUE PLEADS NOT GUILTY
TO CHANDRA'S MURDER,

WHICH SETS UP AN EPIC TRIAL
IN DC SUPERIOR COURT.

DO PROSECUTORS
FINALLY HAVE THEIR MAN?

NEXT TIME, ON "CHANDRA LEVY:
AN AMERICAN MURDER MYSTERY"...

WE STILL HAVE SO MANY
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.

A SHOWDOWN
IN FEDERAL COURT.

THEIR TESTIMONY
WAS CHILLING.

SHE LOOKS HIM DIRECTLY
IN HIS FACE

AND SHE SAYS, "EFF YOU."

A JAILHOUSE INFORMANT
TAKES CENTER STAGE.

ARMANDO MORALES
SOLD THE STORY

EXTREMELY WELL
TO THE JURY.

A MYSTERIOUS FIGURE
EMERGES FROM THE SHADOWS.

SHE TOTALLY THROWS

A MURDER INVESTIGATION
UPSIDE DOWN.

WE CONSIDER CURIOUS NEW EVIDENCE
FROM CHANDRA'S FINAL DAYS...

HOURS BEFORE SHE VANISHED,

SAYING THEY HEARD A SCREAM
COMING FROM THE VICINITY

OF CHANDRA LEVY'S
