-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Screams heard before Chandra disappeared Click for complete story Sunday, 15 July 2001 13:08 (ET) Screams heard before Chandra disappeared WASHINGTON, July 15 (UPI) - Washington Police Chief Charles Ramsey on Sunday said a woman in Chandra Levy's apartment building heard a scream and called 911 on the day the missing intern disappeared two month ago. "It could just be coincidence," Ramsey said in an interview with "Face the Nation" on CBS. "But certainly it is something that our investigators have looked at." Ramsey said the 911 call came about 4:30 a.m. on the morning of Levy's disappearance April 30. "We did dispatch someone to the scene, didn't find anything," Ramsey said. "But we do know that Ms. Levy was very active on her computer more than three hours after that particular call came in." Ramsey stressed that the scream and the call did not necessarily relate to the disappearance of Levy, 24, who was romantically involved with married Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif. But Ramsey's disclosure of police information about the scream and the call marked the latest development in a high-profile investigation increasingly focused on Condit. Condit's attorney Abbe Lowell on Friday told reporters that the congressman had undergone a privately administered polygraph test that showed his innocence in Levy's disappearance. But Ramsey and Levy family attorney Billy Martin questioned the legitimacy of the exam and renewed calls for Condit to take a lie detector test given by police. Martin, speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press" called Condit's move to take a private lie detector test under mounting public pressure to agree to a police polygraph "slippery, slick." "I think he's acting like he has something to hide," Martin said of Condit, 53. Ramsey said investigators would continue to press Condit to take a police polygraph but remained pessimistic. "I think that's a waste of time, quite frankly," Ramsey said. "We'll just have to move on." Ramsey said some areas he's "very interested in" included whether Levy -- perhaps through Condit -- was close to someone else who might have been involved in her disappearance, more information about Condit and Levy's relationship and "hammering down" the timeline of events surrounding April 30. When Levy first was reported missing, Condit said he and Levy had a plutonic friendship in public statements and two police interviews. Police sources, however, have been quoted in news media reports as saying in a third meeting with investigators, Condit acknowledged a sexual relationship with Levy. The Levy family has publicly questioned Condit's conduct during the investigation, saying he impeded the search for their missing daughter by not initially disclosing the nature of his relationship with her. Police say they still hope to find Levy alive. Investigators have been analyzing material police and FBI personnel removed from Condit's apartment Tuesday night, when the congressman allowed them to search his apartment without a warrant. Investigators were looking for "signs of a struggle, other types of evidence, blood, skin or tissue -- things of that nature that could point to something happening that was unusual and that might all point toward foul play," Ramsey said at the time. Police took several samples for analysis. No computer was founding the apartment. On Wednesday, representatives of the U.S. attorney's office questioned Anne Marie Smith, a United Airlines flight attendant, about a 10-month affair she claims she had with Condit. Smith met twice Wednesday at the FBI field office in Washington. Police sources have said they also have asked three other men to take lie detector tests but did not disclose who they were and how were the connected to Levy's disappearance. Levy is from Modesto, Calif., and recently completed an internship at the Federal Bureau of Prisons. She had planned to return to her home state to receive a master's degree from the University of Southern California but did not show up. Police found no sign of forced entry or a struggle in Levy's apartment. The doors were locked, her bags were half-packed, and cash and credit cards were found inside. Levy's keys and a gold ring were missing. On July 3, Smith told Fox News that Condit had asked her to sign a declaration denying her relationship with the congressman and told her that she did not have to talk to the FBI after Levy's disappearance. On July 4, Smith said Condit had called her "approximately May 5 or 6." She said Condit had told her that he might be in trouble and that he was "going to have to disappear for a while." Levy's aunt has said Chandra told her of an affair with the 53-year-old married congressman and that Condit had warned Chandra that if she told anyone of the affair, he would end it. "The Hill," a capital publication focusing on Congress, quoted "police sources" Wednesday saying Condit instructed Levy "not to carry any personal identification when they were together." The Hill noted that when Levy disappeared, left behind were "all her other personal items, including credit cards, identification and cash." But Lowell said Friday that any focus outside of the central issue of the missing intern was inappropriate -- and that the polygraph showed Condit had nothing to do with Levy's disappearance. "Those people who are really concerned about the disappearance of Ms. Levy will realize that Congressman Condit has exhausted the information that he can provide and that the spotlight on him should be turned elsewhere," Lowell said. "We urge others with information to be as forthcoming as they can be, that the police be allowed to do their job by looking for other leads, and that the media allow both to occur so that Chandra Levy can be found." *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
