Police Seek Fourth Condit Interview
FBI Profiler Would Sit In; Discussion Would Include Discarded Watch Box

District police might interview Rep. Gary A. Condit for a fourth time by week's end, and a senior police official said yesterday that an FBI agent working on a profile of Chandra Levy would sit in on the meeting.

Assistant Executive Chief Terrance W. Gainer said that police were talking to Condit's attorney about another interview with the congressman but that nothing definite had been worked out as of yesterday.

Condit's spokeswoman, Marina Ein, did not return a telephone call for comment.

Gainer said at least one FBI profiler would sit in on the interview to hear first-hand information about Levy from Condit. According to law enforcement sources, the California Democrat confirmed about two weeks ago, in his third interview with police, that he had an affair with Levy, 24, while she was an intern at the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.

Police recently indicated that a fourth interview might be needed to clarify some details, including a timeline that Condit provided to police on his whereabouts when Levy disappeared.

Law enforcement officials want to fill in some blanks on a profile of Levy. Unlike a profile for an unknown suspect, this is a victimology profile, which includes scenarios of how she could be victimized and the types of people who would target her.

The FBI is assisting the D.C. police, the lead agency in the missing persons probe that began in early May. Federal investigators recently moved the case to a squad known for handling hard-to-crack cases.

Gainer said yesterday that investigators also want to ask Condit about a watch box he apparently discarded at a park in Alexandria in the hours before police searched his apartment in Adams Morgan.

"I think he certainly owes us an explanation," Gainer said.

Prosecutors investigating the disappearance of Levy, who was last seen April 30 in downtown Washington, are trying to determine whether discarding the watch box was part of an attempted coverup. Law enforcement sources say the watch was a gift from a California woman who has not been identified. Fox News reported that she is a 29-year-old San Francisco area woman who was a staff assistant for Condit in 1994.

A search of Washington parks for Levy is to resume today after a weekend break. Police recruits involved in the search had the weekend off.
