Suspect (Illegal Immigrant) indicted in Chandra Levy slaying

WASHINGTON -- The man accused of sexually assaulting and killing federal intern Chandra Levy in 2001 has been indicted on first-degree murder, kidnapping and other charges.

Ingmar Guandique (gwahn-DEE-kay), 27, who is in custody, will be arraigned on May 27. He also faces a first-degree sexual abuse charge, according to the four-page indictment returned by a District of Columbia Superior Court grand jury on Tuesday.

A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office said Wednesday that the indictment "speaks for itself" and had no further comment.

The 24-year-old Levy had just completed an internship with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons when she disappeared in May 2001 after leaving her apartment in jogging clothes. The Modesto, Calif., native's remains were found in Rock Creek Park a year later.

Guandique's lawyers have said the case against him is flawed because it is largely based on the accounts of "jailhouse snitches" interviewed years after the slaying. Guandique has been serving a 10-year federal prison term in California for two other attacks in the same park where authorities say he attacked Levy.

In April, Guandique made his initial appearance in D.C. Superior Court and charged with first-degree murder. In D.C., suspects must be indicted within nine months of being charged.

The case has been blamed for destroying the political career of former U.S. Rep. Gary Condit of California, who was romantically linked to Levy. Authorities questioned the Democrat who represented the Modesto district where Levy grew up, but he was never a suspect.

Again - "Our FAMILIES are at the mercy of ILLEGALS and their Anchors being murdered, raped, infected with disease, or robbed. We can see the results of the ILLEGAL invasion in our courts every day! But NOT to worry the Chamber of Commerce will get their cheap labor increasing their privatized PROFITS while socializing the benefits for their ILLEGALS on the back of U. S. Citizens, thanks to our past and current Presidents, the Congressional Leadership(?), and local elected and appointed officials!"

Interestingly, the related post and this post were posted by the same person within two hours of each other. Wouldn't it have been better, for the sake of consolidation, to have posted both post in the same thread, JohnDoe?

I don't make the rules around here, just curious.

JohnDoe didn't post this one, American-ized did. Or did I miss your point?

You're right, my mistake. My apologies to JohnDoe.

I just wish folk would look around a little before posting their articles. On posts that tie together, I find it much easier to read through the whole story in a single thread vice reading bits and pieces here and there. Furthermore, we save space when we keep related posts in one thread. Just my opinion, for what it's worth (probably not much).

P.S. - I don't know why I thought JohnDoe had posted both articles - must have just finished reading one of his other posts. Again, sorry JohnDoe.

It happens sometimes.
