The attorneys intended to obtain the former Congressman’s telephone, bank and credit card records from the time of his affair with Chandra to the 24-year-old brunette’s disappearance on May 1, 2001. Guandique, who notoriously preyed on women in the park, was convicted of Chandra’s murder based on the testimony of a snitching cellmate.

The new trial for the accused man was ordered after the cellmate's testimony was exposed as a lie. Meanwhile, the innocent man's defense lawyers were able to build a strong case that officials had hidden key evidence that could indicate the young woman was originally slain in her apartment!

A devastating 911 call from Chandra’s neighbor, who reported hearing a “blood-curdling scream” the night the intern vanished, seems to support she was killed by someone she knew, the lawyers said. The woman lived on the building’s tenth floor – seven stories above Chandra – and is said to have been found by the public defenders who obtained the new trial for Guandique.

that she feared lawmen arrested the wrong man for her daughter’s death! Susan Levy believes that Chandra’s corpse was dumped in D.C.’s Rock Creek Park — four miles from the intern's apartment — after she had been murdered somewhere else. Chandra’s badly decomposed remains were found deep in the wooded park on May 22, 2002 — over a year after she vanished!

Chandra Levy Murder Trial Begins In Washington
In the weeks after Chandra went missing, the park was repeatedly searched by volunteers, lawmen and dogs. All came up empty. "I wonder if her body was really there before," said Susan, "or placed there later — because police originally could not find her body with bloodhounds!" An autopsy found damage to Chandra's hyoid bone, suggesting possible strangulation.
