US Police Search Condit Apartment to Get Clues
US Police searched California lawmaker Gary Condit's apartment Wednesday to get clues to the disappearance of Washington intern Chandra Levy.
Police would give the Democratic congressman a lie-detector test and get samples of his DNA as they pressed the search for the missing intern, Washington Police Chief Charles Ramsey said.
Eleven weeks after the 24-year-old Californian woman was last seen, Ramsey said he planned to take Condit up on his offer of assistance in the high-profile case.
"Relative to the collection of DNA samples, search of the apartment and taking a polygraph examination," Ramsey said, "we want to take him up on that offer." He was referring to an offer on Monday by Condit's lawyer.
Ramsey said a lie-detector test would provide details of "the exact nature of the relationship, any information they might have about state of mind, any locations where he feels she might want to go."
Meanwhile, Levy's parents demanded the polygraph test, and their attorney Billy Martin said it could provide "powerful" details about Levy's mood when she disappeared.
Martin said Levy's family believed Condit, a 53-year-old Democrat from central California should have come forward earlier, adding that the family felt Condit had lied when he denied having a relationship with their daughter in a telephone call with Levy's mother, Susan, in early June.
