- 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.
