Illegal immigrant suspected in Chandra Levy murder may have escaped justice after botched probe: detective

The 25-year-old unsolved murder of Washington intern Chandra Levy remains shrouded in controversy, with a former detective criticizing early investigative missteps that may have allowed the prime suspect—a twice-convicted illegal immigrant—to evade justice. The case, linked to a sitting congressman, saw delayed discovery of Levy’s remains in Rock Creek Park due to an incomplete search, weakening the circumstantial evidence against the suspect.
