Condit Silent After 4th Police Interview

Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif., is not talking about the fourth interview he had with authorities probing the disappearance of Chandra Levy.

The meeting with FBI agents and Washington police detectives took less than an hour Thursday at Condit attorney Abbe Lowell's office.

Fox News reported Friday that the congressman was asked questions to help investigators develop a profile of the missing former intern.

D.C. Police Chief Charles Ramsey refused to comment Friday on Condit's level of cooperation. Nor would he specify what was discussed.

Though Condit would still not speak to reporters, Lowell released a statement Friday saying his client answered every question and provided all the information and opinions he had.

"Congressman Condit hopes that this meeting — along with other important FBI and police efforts — will help law enforcement authorities find Chandra Levy," the statement said.

In other developments:

The New York Post reported Friday that police want to reinterview Condit's wife, Carolyn, and ask her about a five-minute phone call she made to her husband's Washington apartment just days before Levy vanished.

The Post said: "Condit wasn't in the Washington condo when Carolyn Condit called from the couple's home in Ceres, Calif., law-enforcement officials said.

"Police would like to know who was - and whether it had anything to do with Carolyn Condit's rare trip to Washington the week Levy disappeared."

Police don't know whether Levy answered that phone call, the Post reported.

Mrs. Condit once told a friend she would kill herself if her husband ever left her, the New York Daily News reported Friday.

"She was matter-of-fact, dead serious. She's a co-dependent — big time," the newspaper quoted the "friend" as saying.

Levy's parents might sue Condit if she isn't found, the family's lawyer said Thursday.

"It is clearly an option, and it is one that the family will consider at the appropriate time," attorney Billy Martin told the Associated Press.

Suing Condit, whose district includes Levy's hometown of Modesto, would allow her family to ask questions in court about her disappearance. But the suit would not be considered while the search for Levy goes on, Martin said.

Robert and Susan Levy aren't accusing Condit of any wrongdoing, Martin said, but they can't rule out the possibility that he might be involved in their daughter's vanishing.
