Levy was a 24-year-old intern with the Federal Bureau of Prisons when she disappeared May 1, 2001. The suspect, Ingmar Guandique, was set to go to trial in October. District prosecutors have dropped charges against the man who had been accused in the murder of Chandra Levy, saying in light of new information it has concluded it can “no longer prove the murder case.”Prosecutors did not detail what that information is, saying only that it was received in the past week. After his release, he will be handed over to the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, where he faces removal proceedings. The case gained national attention because police investigators at first looked closely at former California congressman Gary A. Condit, with whom Levy had an affair.
