Police Seek Fourth Condit Interview

WASHINGTON -- Police might interview Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif., for a fourth time by the end of the week as part of their investigation into the disappearance of former federal Bureau of Prisons intern Chandra Levy.

An FBI agent working on a profile of Levy is expected to sit in on such a meeting to hear first-hand information about her from Condit, The Washington Post reported Monday.

Assistant Executive Chief Terrance W. Gainer said that police were talking to Condit's attorney about another interview with the congressman but that nothing definite had been worked out yet, the report said.

Gainer said that investigators also want to ask Condit about a watch box he apparently discarded at a park in nearby Alexandria, Va., shortly before police searched his Washington apartment.

"I think he certainly owes us an explanation," Gainer said.

Prosecutors are trying to determine whether discarding the watch box was part of an attempted coverup.

Law enforcement sources say the watch was a gift from a California woman who has not been identified. Fox News reported that she is a 29-year-old San Francisco area woman who was a staff assistant for Condit in 1994.

Police recently indicated that a fourth interview might be needed to clarify some details, including a timeline that Condit provided to police on his whereabouts when Levy disappeared.

In his third police interview, Condit acknowledged having an affair with Levy, according to two sources familiar with the meeting.
