-Caveat Lector- The Fresno Bee 3rd Condit interview possible Police deny reports that the congressman broke off ties to Chandra Levy. By Michael Doyle Bee Washington Bureau (Published June 29, 2001) WASHINGTON -- Rep. Gary Condit shed more light on missing intern Chandra Levy in his recent interview with police detectives, but additional answers could yet be needed, sources familiar with the interview say. Executive Assistant Police Chief Terry Gainer told the Bee on Thursday night that detectives might seek another interview with Condit, while noting the congressman was "cooperative" when he met with police Saturday. Gainer said investigators still are re-interviewing other Washington residents. Condit's camp is open to follow-up questions. "It wouldn't be beyond reason," one informed source said of the possible third interview. Multiple sources described the hourlong session conducted by three detectives Saturday afternoon as civil. Condit's Washington lawyer, Abbe Lowell, sat in on the interview and set up the meeting place, which was not disclosed. "They asked all the questions that police would be expected to ask in a missing-persons case," one source familiar with the interview said Thursday night, "and the congressman answered them." Precisely who said what during the second police interview with Condit remains unclear, and various sources have characterized it in different ways. However, Gainer flatly termed as "balderdash" a Fox television news report claiming Condit had told police he'd broken off a close friendship with Levy -- supposedly driving Levy into an emotional tailspin -- two days before her disappearance. "The conversation did not take place," Gainer said. "We ought to put to rest these outrageous rumors and innuendo." Condit described Levy as a "good friend" in a written statement, but through his staff has denied any romantic involvement. It was not possible Thursday night to determine what kind of detailed questions detectives asked about this friendship, and how Condit responded. Police first interviewed Condit in his Washington, D.C., condominium last month, after Levy's disappearance. She was last seen April 30 and, according to Condit lawyer Joe Cotchett, she had apparently tried to call Condit "four or five" times in the days before she disappeared. Cotchett speculated the former Bureau of Prisons intern was calling to say goodbye before she left for California for good. "I don't really think it would be worth it for me to stay in D.C. now, since I have no job or school to keep me busy here," Levy wrote in an April 28 e-mail sent to her landlord. "I think I need to be in California for a while to figure out what my next move is." Among people still waiting to be interviewed is Carolyn Condit, the congressman's wife, who was visiting in Washington between April 28 and May 3. She lives most of the year in Ceres. Gainer did not confirm directly that it would be FBI agents rather than Washington detectives talking to Carolyn Condit, but he noted, "I haven't sent any Washington detectives to California." The FBI maintains field offices in Sacramento, Modesto and Fresno, and the bureau's special agents have been helping with the case from the beginning. While detectives and FBI agents continue to interview, the reward fund for information leading to Levy's safe return grows. It reached $45,000 Thursday with the addition of $5,000 by the publishers of the Journal of Women's Health and Gender-based Medicine. The New York-based medical journal offered the money along with the observation that its readers might be precisely those most likely to encounter a vulnerable young woman. "If she has been hurt or harmed, a health-care professional might have seen Chandra," magazine publisher Mary Ann Liebert said. "However, women are often fearful or unable to reveal abuse, and health-care practitioners could be misled either by the victim or someone who may be accompanying her." ======================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends ======================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
