WASHINGTON (AP) - Chandra Levy was murdered, but how she was killed can't be determined, the Washington, D.C., medical examiner said Tuesday in a disclosure that deepened the mystery behind the 24-year-old intern who disappeared more than a year ago.
"In this case there was not sufficient evidence to ascertain conclusively the specific injury that caused her death," Dr. Jonathan L. Arden told a news conference.
"However, the circumstances of her disappearance and her body on recovery are indicative that she died through the acts of another person, which is the definition of a homicidal manner of death."
Arden spoke to reporters about a young Washington intern whose disappearance cost Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif., his job and gripped the nation for the better part of last summer. Her remains were discovered last week in a secluded area of Rock Creek Park, a sprawling urban greenspace in the heart of the nation's capital. |
