CHANDRA LEVY
Name: Chandra Levy
Born: 14 April 1977
Died: 1 May 2001
Chandra Ann Levy (April 14, 1977 - May 1, 2001) was an intern who worked
at the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Washington, D.C., who disappeared in the
spring of 2001 and was subsequently found murdered in Rock Creek Park. The
investigation into her disappearance uncovered an affair with then U.S.
Representative Gary Condit, a Democrat representing California's 18th
congressional district and a senior member of the House Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence. Though Condit was never called a suspect by police,
the uproar led to his exit from Congress. The circumstances surrounding her
death remain unclear.
Levy was born in Cleveland and grew up in Modesto, California. Her parents are
members of Congregation Beth Shalom there, a Conservative Jewish synagogue.
She attended San Francisco State University, earning a degree in journalism.
After interning for the California Bureau of Secondary Education and working in
the office of Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan, she began attending the
University of Southern California to earn a Master's degree in Public
Administration.
As part of her studies, she moved to Washington, D.C., to become an intern with
the Federal Bureau of Prisons, although shortly before her death, this was
abruptly terminated when her academic eligibility was found to have expired. She
had previously completed her degree requirements and was scheduled to return to
California for graduation.
