WASHINGTON - An arrest may be close in the slaying of the former federal intern <span style="font-weight: bold">whose disappearance ended Gary Condit's congressional career, </span>according to media reports in Washington and California.
NBC affiliate WRC in Washington and KGO, KFSN and KCRA in California said D.C. police are seeking an arrest warrant in Chandra Levy's death.
The warrant would be for an inmate convicted of attacking two female joggers in the same Washington park where Levy's remains were found in 2002.
Quoting sources, WRC reported that police have submitted evidence to the U.S. Attorney's Office in an bid to get an arrest warrant for a man identified as Ingmar Guandique.
WRC said an inmate serving time with Guandique told investigators that Guandique told him he killed Levy. Guandique told police he saw Levy in the park, but did not harm her.
Parents react
Levy's parents said Friday outside their Modesto, Calif., home that police called them and told them an arrest was near.
"Your child is dead and gone and it's painful, but we're glad that the police and people are doing something, and investigating, and making a difference so somebody's not on the street to do it again," Chandra's mother, Susan Levy, told KGO-TV in San Francisco.
The parents did not say when an arrest warrant might be issued.
The 24-year-old Levy disappeared in May 2001.
The married Condit told police that he and Levy were having an affair. Police did not consider him a suspect, but the negative publicity was cited as the main cause of the California Democrat's re-election defeat in 2002.
D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said Saturday her department had no information to release in the ongoing case.
"This case generated numerous bits of information, which we continue to follow up on," she said in a statement.
