Here's an interesting theory from another message board. It may explain the Condit friendly timeline published by ABC. I've been following the CapitolGrilling and the Modesto Bee Forum discussions of the Chandra Levy story fairly closely for several weeks, but this is the first time I've felt like I had something even halfway worthwhile to post. I have been bothered by something in the Condit timeline which was published on or about June 28. In it, Gary Condit states that on May 1, the date Chandra Levy is supposed to have vanished, he had dinner at the Tryst restaurant between 6:30 and 7:30 with a reporter. He did not name the reporter or the publication for which the reporter worked. The timeline can be found at abcnews.go.com Several people on this site and at the Modesto Bee forum have also wondered who this reporter may have been and why he or she has not come forward. Could it be that the "reporter" was in fact Chandra herself? I hope I'm not covering old ground with this idea. Here's a sketch of my reasoning: Chandra had a degree in journalism, had worked occasionally as a journalist in various capacities, and as we all know, had most recently worked in the public affairs office of the BOP. Therefore, referring to her as "a reporter" would not be wholly without foundation, especially if one felt it...expedient...to be coy. If this anonymous "reporter" was indeed Chandra, it could explain a lot. It does not necessarily follow that Rep. Condit did anything untoward or violent following this meeting, but it would further explain his and, more importantly Chandra's, movements on that fateful day. A recent news story stated that it was looking increasingly likely that Levy spent most of the day of May 1 inside her apartment (can't find it now, but I think it was on the ABCnews website). Could she have stayed at home all day on the 1st, then left around 6:30ish, taken her keys, a little bit of cash and perhaps that uncashed check (forgotten in her pocket?) and then walked over to meet GC at the Tryst restaurant to discuss the state of their defunct relationship, her "big news" -- or whatever? Something else occurs to me: when the timeline first came out in the news, Condit complained through a staffer that the timeline was not 100% factual or accurate, or that things were left out or something to that effect. If so, this gives him an opportunity later to say he never really lied about meeting Chandra at the Tryst on May 1, albeit I admit that there are problems with this idea (they could have been seen together, etc). Lest I be unjustly accused of belonging to the "Condit-did-it" faction, the jury is still very much out as far as I'm concerned. There is too much we don't know. My theories are just that - theories. capitolgrilling.com
