-Caveat Lector- Friday, June 8, 2001 Calif. Congressman Threatens to Sue Over Missing Woman Stories >From Associated Press WASHINGTON -- Rep. Gary Condit has hired a lawyer and demanded that media outlets retract news stories about the nature of his relationship with a young woman who has been missing for five weeks. Condit's relationship with Chandra Levy, 24, has come under media scrutiny since her disappearance April 30. Police are treating the disappearance as a missing person's case, rather than a criminal matter. The California Democrat has called Levy "a good friend," but some media reports have quoted unidentified sources as suggesting the two were "romantically involved." Condit's office has denied any romance. Mike Lynch, Condit's chief of staff, said in a statement Thursday the congressman has hired attorney Joseph Cotchett of the San Francisco area. The lawyer has sent a letter to several media outlets seeking retractions. "False statements, statements taken out of context and sheer innuendo and rumor have been published as fact," Lynch said. "Photos have been doctored to mislead the public." Levy was a graduate student at the University of Southern California, and just completed an internship with the Federal Bureau of Prisons when she disappeared. She had planned to return to attend graduation ceremonies in Los Angeles, and her bags were found packed in her Washington apartment. ### http://www.nypostonline.com/news/nationalnews/27487.htm New York Post June 8, 2001 INTERN CALLED POL BEFORE VANISHING By NILES LATHEM, DAVID K. LI, and ANDY GELLER June 8, 2001 -- Missing Washington intern Chandra Levy called Rep. Gary Condit several times the day before she mysteroiusly vanished, according to her cell-phone records. Investigators say Levy repeatedly called the California Democrat at a special answering service that bypassed his congressional office. The 24-year-old, hazel-eyed, dark-haired beauty, who had just completed a six-month internship with the Bureau of Prisons, was last heard from on May 1, when she e-mailed her parents in Modesto, Calif. Her cell-phone records reveal that she called the 53-year-old Condit - whose office she had visited - several times on both April 29 and April 30. Sgt. Joseph Gentile, a Washington police spokesman, refudsed to confirm whether the records show Levy called the congressman. He said only that cops had taken her cell-phone and laptop from her apartment, and "we are going through the records." The disclosure of the calls follows a Washington Post report that Condit admitted to cops that the attractive intern slept at his apartment in Washington's trendy Adams Morgan neighborhood. The newspaper also quoted a close relative as saying Levy had confided she was romantically involved with the married congressman. Levy had suggested to friends that she was dating a congressman, and in a home video that the family distributed on May 22, her father, Robert, talks about her "adventures in Washington . . . and a congressman friend." Appearing on the ABC show "The View" yesterday, Chandra's mother, Susan, was taken aback when asked about The Washington Post story. "I don't know what to say," Susan Levy said. "I don't want to impede the Police Department and their work." The anguished mom said the family "is doing terrible. It's the most horrible thing a family could ever go through. "My husband's a cancer doctor, and he cannot effectively practice medicine in the professional way he normally does. He's too nervous to make heavy-duty decisions." Condit has denied having a romance with Chandra, and his spokesman, Randy Groves, declined to comment on the latest reports, saying he didn't want to distract from efforts to find the missing woman. "We are not going to feed a media frenzy," he said. In Ceres, Calif., the congressman's mother, Jean, strongly denied her son had an untoward relationship with Chandra. "The news media are vultures," she fumed. "They are trying to destroy him. They're lying." Copyright 2001 NYP Holdings, Inc.
