Seems to me this was the "big" story in the days before 9/11.
Lots has changed since then.
But not the borders issue.
Not how Condit was treated.
And certainly not her family's pain.
If he did it I hope the punishment is long slow and very very painful. Maybe including the machetes MS-13 is known for.
Washington Post:
Illegal Immigrant to Be Charged With Chandra Levy Murder

Nearly eight years after Chandra Levy stepped out of her Dupont Circle apartment on a warm May day and disappeared without a word, D.C. police announced today they will charge an illegal immigrant from El Salvador with first-degree murder for killing her near a remote hiking trail deep in Rock Creek Park.
An arrest warrant was issued for Ingmar Guandique, 27, serving a 10-year prison sentence for attacking two other women at knifepoint in the park around the time of Chandra's disappearance. He will be brought to D.C. within weeks and charged in the death of Levy, a 24-year-old federal government intern from California.
Levy's disappearance in May 2001 triggered an international sensation because she had been having an affair with her local congressman, Gary A. Condit. He immediately fell under suspicion despite a lack of credible evidence implicating him in what would become one of the most famous unsolved homicide cases in Washington history. . .
. . .Another witness told police last November that he had known Guandique for many years and that Guandique boasted that he was a member of the Salvadoran gang MS-13. He allegedly boasted that he was known in the gang as "Chuckie" because he had a reputation for "killing and chopping up people," the witness said.
