Rick,

I've been thinking about that too--I know I'd have been on the first bus to Washington--well, I am here anyway, but you know what I mean--

It occurs to me that no one has asked the parents any probing questions--like, "is she hiding at home right now, letting Condit dig himself in deeper and deeper in order to get even with him for screwing her over?" or "Did you get into a big fight with her when she told you that even though she had lost her job, she was staying in Washington because she was having an affair with a Congressman?"

There is someone on the Chandra Levy Discussion Forum who keeps saying that no one at the Modesto Police Department followed up report that he sighted her at a convenience store there, or some such thing--Again, no less improbably than any of the other possibilities--
