Chandra Levy’s Illegal Alien Killer On Trial . . . Finally
Washington, D.C. intern Chandra Levy became a posthumous celebrity when the 24 years old vanished nine years ago and whose remains were eventually found by police. Now the man — an illegal alien from El Salvador — accused of her abduction and murder faces a judge and jury.
Jury selection in the trial of suspect Ingmar Guandique started on Monday morning and continues. He faces murder, kidnapping, and several other charges. Police and prosecutors allege that Guandique attacked Levy as she was jogging alone in 2001.
The Chandra Levy mystery ignited a months-long media feeding frenzy especially when it was discovered that she was linked to then-California Congressman Gary Condit. Investigators dropped their case against Condit and no longer believe he was involved in her death.
The Chandra Levy case originally received so much media attention that she became a household name in May 2001. In January 2009, while the news media continued their fascination with this case, they had — for the most part — failed to identify the suspect as an illegal alien already locked up in prison for previous attacks on American women, preferring to call him an immigrant or a Salvadorian National.
The irony of the Chandra Levy murder case is the fact that the biggest murder case in the new millennium was a homicide committed by an illegal alien.
And now… the rest of the story. …..
