Summary

Chandra Levy was a young intern at the FBI's Washington headquarters when she vanished in 2000. Her alleged romantic relationship with U.S. Rep. Gary Condit put her disappearance in the national headlines as suspicions swirled around the congressman. Levy's remains were found in a DC park a year later. Chandra;s mother wants the case reopened with new DNA testing technology used. Cold Case Research Institute Director Sheryl McCollum joined the discussion, noting that new touch DNA technology could help solve the case. Prosecutors however are reportedly not willing to spend funds to use the latest crime-solving technology, such as touch DNA or the M-Vac system, to help solve Chandra’s case. Susan said when she asked prosecutors in Washington, D.C., to retest the evidence in Chandra’s case, they told her “it’s all been done.”
