Intern Spent Night, Condit Told Police

U.S. Rep. Gary A. Condit told D.C. police that Chandra Levy has spent
the night at his Adams Morgan apartment, according to law enforcement
sources, who also said the missing intern told a close relative that she
was romantically involved with the congressman.

The California Democrat has said he is simply a good friend of Levy's,
and his office has denied a romance between the two. Mike Lynch, chief
of staff in Condit's Modesto office, said Condit told him yesterday that
he had not made statements to police about Levy spending the night.

"We have nothing to hide" about Condit's relationship with Levy, said
Mike Dayton, a spokesman at the congressman's office on Capitol Hill.

But the Levy relative said, "Chandra has told me things that seem to
contradict what the spokesmen for Congressman Condit have been saying."

The relative, who spoke to The Washington Post on condition of
anonymity, said that she spent last Thanksgiving and Passover in April
with Levy, 24, and that the intern told her about her romantic life in
Washington. The relative declined to provide more detail.

The law enforcement sources said that although Condit told police that
Levy had spent the night at his apartment, he did not say whether the
two were romantically involved. He also did not specify when she had
been at his apartment.

Executive Assistant Police Chief Terrance W. Gainer said Tuesday that
investigators are looking at Levy's disappearance as a missing persons
case, not a crime.

He declined to comment about Condit, beyond saying: "He is not a
suspect. We don't have a crime. Without a crime, you don't have a
suspect."

Investigators have interviewed dozens of people in the case, including
members of Levy's health club near Dupont Circle and Condit's neighbors
in the 2600 block of Adams Mill Road NW, who were asked whether they had
ever seen Chandra in the building.

Gainer said yesterday that investigators also have looked through Levy's
e-mails and phone records, but have found "nothing critical or helpful."
He declined to say whether any of the computer correspondence was to or
from Condit.

Levy was last seen the evening of April 30, when she canceled her
membership at the Washington Sports Club on Connecticut Avenue NW. One
member who was there that evening said police asked him Tuesday whether
he knew of any club members who were known to harass women. He said he
did not.

Condit's association with Levy has raised the profile of the
disappearance far beyond most missing-persons cases, with the news
appearing in media worldwide.

Condit, who represents Levy's home town of Modesto, first called police
about her disappearance May 7, a day after her parents called his office
seeking help. The congressman subsequently offered $10,000 from his
campaign treasury to a reward fund, which now stands at $40,000.

Condit commutes regularly to Ceres, Calif., to be with his wife,
Carolyn. He has served in Congress since 1989.

Dayton has said that Levy first went to Condit's office in early October
with her friend Jennifer Baker, who was working as an intern for the
congressman. Levy returned to the office six times in subsequent months,
Dayton has said, usually to ask for things like White House tour tickets
or for schedules of Capitol Hill events. Early in the investigation,
Condit issued a statement saying, "Chandra is a great person and good
friend."

Levy, who was completing her graduate degree in public administration,
disappeared about a week after completing an internship at the Federal
Bureau of Prisons. She was to return to Modesto on May 9 before
attending her graduate school commencement ceremony at the University of
Southern California.

Police who searched her apartment in the 1200 block of 21st Street NW on
May 10 said the door was locked. They found no signs of a struggle, and
discovered Levy's driver's license and credit cards and her packed
luggage, police said. Her apartment keys were missing, police have said.
