Arrest warrant issued for illegal alien killer of Chandra Levy
The US Department of Justice issued an arrest warrant this morning for the illegal alien suspected of murdering Washington, DC intern Chandra Levy, whose remains were discovered almost a year after her disappearance.
US Attorney Jeffrey Taylor and DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier announced the formal arrest at a Washington press conference this afternoon.
A source told the associate editor of Chief of Police Magazine that a formal arrest warrant was issued for Ingmar Guandique, who is currently serving a prison sentence in California for his attacks on two women in the same park in which he allegedly killed Levy.
The case had gone cold for years after destroying the career of former Rep. Gary Condit of California.
Investigators had questioned Guandique in Levy's slaying after he was convicted in the two other attacks, but refrained from making an arrest.
"Apparently, the investigators conducted a thorough and all-encompassing investigation before making a formal arrest because the Salvadorian illegal alien was incarcerated and posed no threat to other women," said a former New York Police detective, Sidney Frances.
"They obviously wanted to get their ducks lined up in a row before making an arrest of this predator," he said.
Chandra Levy received so much media attention that she became a household name. There were several people of interest during the initial investigation in 2001-2002, including California Congressman Gary Condit.
While Rep. Condit was never arrested or labeled a suspect by investigators, his affair with Ms. Levy led to his loss in the following election.
While the media continue their fascination with this case, they have -- 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, by government officials and members of the news media.
