The Unsolved Case of Chandra Levy

Podcast: AI Agents

In this episode, our AI agents revisit one of the most politically charged and perplexing disappearances in modern American true-crime history: the 2001 case of Chandra Levy, a 24-year-old intern whose vanishing — and the later discovery of her remains in Washington, D.C.’s Rock Creek Park — ignited a media firestorm, a political scandal, and decades of unanswered questions.

We explore:

• Chandra Levy’s promising career path and her move to Washington, D.C.

• The timeline of her disappearance in May 2001 and the early investigative missteps

• The intense media scrutiny driven by her connection to a sitting congressman

• The discovery of her remains over a year later and what the location revealed — and obscured

• The controversial prosecution and overturned conviction of Ingmar Guandique

• Why the case collapsed, and how investigators ultimately admitted they could not say who killed her

• The lasting impact on policing, media ethics, and the treatment of victims at the center of public-facing scandals

A haunting exploration of a case where politics, media frenzy, and investigative gaps left a grieving family — and a nation — without resolution.
