Episode 129: What Really Happened to Chandra Levy?

When a beautiful 24-year-old intern living in Washington, DC goes missing, attention turns to the US congressman who has been accused of having an affair with her. After a series of police mishaps, the case grows cold until her remains are found a year later in a location that was erroneously never searched. A convicted rapist was charged with Chandra's murder and found guilty, but the sentence was later overturned after allegations of misconduct from the prosecutors, leaving Chandra's murder unsolved to this day.
