The Washington Post has written a 12-part series published throughout the month of July 2008. The series is titled "Who Killed Chandra Levy?" and claims to reveal new information in the case and leads that were not pursued.¹

After Levy's disappearance, it was revealed that she had engaged in an affair with married California Congressman Gary Condit. Levy and her parents lived in Condit's district. Condit initially denied engaging in an affair with Levy, but eventually admitted to the liasions. Despite never being labeled a suspect by police, Condit's credibility suffered and he lost his bid for re-election in 2002.
