Chandra Levy: The Murder Mystery Swept Away By 9/11

Chandra Levy disappeared in Washington, D.C., on May 1, 2001 — and her parents faced a new nightmare after the horrific attacks of 9/11 took the search for their daughter out of the headlines! The inside story follows — with The National ENQUIRER exposing more shocking secrets in Investigation Discovery's "Chandra Levy: An American Murder Mystery," premiering Monday, September 4 on TLC at 8 p.m. EST.

The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon — along with the tragedy of United Airlines Flight 93 — rightly grabbed the attention of the nation and the world. But even as Robert and Susan Levy joined in mourning the victims of 9/11, they also remained tormented over their daughter's disappearance.

"Gary Condit must be the only person in the world who is relieved that these terrorist attacks happened," Susan told The ENQUIRER in Oct. 2001, citing the married Democratic congressman who was allegedly having an affair with Chandra before her disappearance.

Susan revealed that she had stopped speaking publicly about Chandra after the 9/11 attacks, saying that "it would have been inappropriate for us to talk about her on top of everything else that had happened recently."

Susan revealed that she had stopped speaking publicly about Chandra after the 9/11 attacks, saying that "it would have been inappropriate for us to talk about her on top of everything else that had happened recently."

But she was also grateful for the chance to reach out to the public and ask that Chandra not be forgotten. "Please keep up the hunt for my daughter," Susan said. "We still want to believe that she is alive."

Sadly, the desperate mother wouldn't learn of Chandra's fate until May 2002 — when her daughter's remains were finally found in Rock Creek Park.

There would only be more heartbreak from there, as well — with bungling cops and a freed convicted killer keeping Chandra in the news for 15 more years!
