-Caveat Lector- Friday July 6 7:34 PM ET Chandra Levy Had Untold 'Big News' By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - The day before she was last seen, Chandra Levy called her aunt and left a message saying she had ``some big news'' to share. Linda Zamsky says she still has no idea what her niece meant by the message left April 29, but that there's no reason to believe it was something ominous. ``She was upbeat and full of life. There was absolutely no indication that she was upset,'' Zamsky said. Zamsky described the message in a statement issued Friday that was devoted mainly to providing details about the affair Zamsky says Levy told her she had with Rep. Gary Condit (news - bio - voting record). Levy is from Modesto, Calif., which Condit represents. Condit, 53 and married, has called Levy, a former intern at the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, a ``good friend.'' His aides have denied a romantic relationship. Meanwhile, ABC News reported Friday that police want to obtain Condit's cellular telephone records to try to learn more about the congressman's contact with the intern. Zamsky, who lives on Maryland's Eastern Shore, a couple of hours northeast of Washington, said she decided to publicize what Levy confided to her because Condit has not been forthcoming about the relationship. ``We believe that Rep. Condit's lack of candor is hindering efforts to find Chandra,'' Zamsky said. Her statement was released by the public relations firm that has been hired by Billy Martin, the Levy family attorney in Washington. Police have characterized Condit as cooperative in two interviews, and have said he is not a suspect in Levy's disappearance. A police official said authorities already had Zamsky's account, and found little in it to help them, including the cryptic message about important news. Telephone calls to Abbe Lowell, Condit's attorney, and his congressional office were not returned. Marina Ein, a publicist hired by Lowell, said, ``None of this stuff is advancing the investigation per se.'' Levy was two weeks beyond her 24th birthday when she was last seen April 30, canceling her membership at a Washington health club. A search of her apartment found nothing missing but her keys. Police have no evidence of a crime, no suggestion that Levy ran off, no similarities between Levy's case and those of other missing persons, Police Chief Charles Ramsey said Thursday. He said police have all but ruled out suicide because so much time has passed and no body been found. Zamsky said Levy, in several conversations beginning around Thanksgiving, described a secretive relationship with Condit that began last fall, shortly after she arrived in Washington for her internship. Levy was a graduate student at the University of Southern California who was completing her master's degree in public administration with a Washington work-study program. Zamsky said Levy told her that Condit said he would end the affair if anyone found out about it. Levy and Condit met often at his apartment and took care not to attract attention when they went out, Zamsky said. ``She said they would take a taxi. ... She would come out the door, grab the taxi, and then he would come out, baseball cap, jacket, kind of a little incognito, and he would get in the cab with her,'' she said. The last time Zamsky saw Levy was in early April, for the Jewish holiday of Passover. On that visit, Levy showed off her newest present from Condit, a gold bracelet. On April 29, Levy called Zamsky. Zamsky said that Levy was heard on the answering machine saying: ``I'm planning on packing my bags in the next week or 10 days. Heading home for a while. Don't know what I'm going to do this summer. And I really have some big news or something important to tell. Please call.''
