Maybe the cops didn't go after him because it was not politically correct and they did not want to be accused of being racist since everybody loves accusing each other of being racist these days and that seems to be America's new favorite past time.

I can assure you VERY MANY news outlets will be reluctant to use the word illegal...they will probably just used Salvadorean immigrant. They don't want the special interest groups coming after them with torches.

@FritzIno: there's also the fact that being an illegal immigrant has nothing to do with whether or not he murdered anyone.

Awesome!

Still waiting to see if (when?!) they find out who threw rocks and bottles at my friends outside of my Halloween party on Capitol Hill that year...

@Iceland Spar: While annoyingly presented in a serialized format - the series is pretty great and makes a convincing case that this is the guy who actually did it (and may have done it to other women)

It just took a while to find a plausible nobody to pin it on, so as to get Gary back into the game. Have no fear. Evidence will be manufactured to clear the celebrity in these events. I have full confidence in the competence of the Shadow Government. They didn't get to where they are by bumbling these sorts of things.

@DoctorNine: I have to agree. It's a little too convenient to find a killer who is brown and is an illegal immigrant. After eight years. Come on. There is, by definition, no evidence.

I am amazed they didn't try to pin it on a black guy, though, considering the ways the cops work down there.

@DoctorNine: I mean, BEHOLD the Washington Post's story. If they believe this immigrant did it, they also have to believe that Condit paid him to:

Guandique, the informant said, confessed to murdering a woman in the park named Chandra Levy, the intern whose picture had been splashed all over television. There was more: Guandique said Rep. Gary Condit paid him to do it. He didn't realize who Condit was until he later saw his picture on TV. Guandique had been walking in the Adams Morgan neighborhood when a car pulled to the curb. Condit offered him money - $25,000 to kill a woman. The congressman provided him with her picture and a location where he could find her.

The informant said Guandique told him he took drugs and drank alcohol to steel himself for the attack. He went to the location Condit gave him and saw Chandra running on a path. Guandique hid in the bushes. When Chandra circled back, he jumped out and attacked her, stabbing her in the neck and the stomach. She fell to the ground, and Guandique carried her body far into the woods. He dug a hole with his hands and covered Chandra with dirt, leaves and sticks. He left the knife in her body and later considered retrieving it but never did. He sent the $25,000 to his family in El Salvador.

@Moriturus: Thanks. I try. Style is not incompatable with function.

You can't believe the shabby quality of foil hats you see these days....

considering Lisa DePaulo all but said Condit did it, or had it done, in various reports, this is actually very sad for a alot of reasons. I'm not saying Condit was a saint, but still..he had an affair. So did Clinton. Just because Monica Lewinsky didn't get jumped and murdered running in a park, one guy 's political career is thriving, the other guy is a political paraiah.

This new suspect takes a really nice mugshot.
It's kind of reminiscent of Tom Delay's.

Condit still did it though.

They can arrest anybody they want. Unfortunately, due to the clusterfuck of overlapping jurisdictions in DC and the fact that the cops missed her body in two searches of the park, there can't be a whole lot of physical evidence in the case. Their best bet is to send the suspect over to PG County and have a confession beaten out of him.

First the Ramseys were cleared and now this. I'm starting to wonder if OJ was framed...
