Detectives probing Chandra Levy’s disappearance found massage oils, a long, brown hair – and two mysterious spots that could be blood – in Rep. Gary Condit’s Washington apartment, police sources said last night.
The sources said the hair did not come from the married California Democrat, who admitted having an affair with Levy, an attractive 24-year-old brunette who vanished May 1.
The hair was sent to the FBI crime lab in Quantico, Va., for further testing, as was a Venetian blind slat that had the spots, the sources said.
The discoveries were revealed as Anne Marie Smith, a flight attendant who claims Condit was her lover for 10 months, and her lawyer accused the congressman of hiding information about the missing intern.
“Mr. Condit is hiding a whole lot of other things besides his extramarital affairs,” said the lawyer, James Robinson, adding that his client “is more afraid of him than ever.”
Cops using high-tech equipment searched Condit’s apartment for three hours, beginning shortly before midnight Tuesday and ending about 3 a.m.
In addition to the hair, the massage oils and the Venetian blind slat, cops also seized a carpet sample, a bathroom canister and clothing. All but the massage oils were sent to Quantico.
Meanwhile, detectives, FBI agents and federal prosecutors spent seven hours interviewing Smith, who says Condit asked her to sign an affidavit denying they had been lovers.
Afterward, the flame-haired Smith told the Fox News Channel that Condit said it was OK to sign the affidavit because “the case will never go to trial.”
“Clearly, asking me to sign the affidavit kind of put a shadow on his credibility,” she said.
Smith, 39, who returns for more questioning today, was asked if she thought other affidavits existed from women with whom Condit may have been involved.
“I have a feeling there are a few floating around,” she said.
Smith said she believes Condit has not come clean about Levy.
“I think there’s a lot more that he knows that he’s not telling,” she told Fox News Channel.
Robinson, speaking later, accused Condit of living a clandestine life – “hiding how he gets around Washington, how he gets around California.”
Asked if investigators hadn’t asked the congressmen about this, the lawyer replied, “From the reactions of the people in the room when my client answered the simplest of questions, they’ve asked him.”
Robinson added, “As far as I’m concerned, they consider him a suspect.”
Chandra, who had just completed a six-month internship with the Bureau of Prisons, disappeared after telling her parents she was returning home to Modesto, Calif.
Meanwhile, People magazine reports that Chandra’s anguished parents reached out to a psychic who said their missing daughter is alive.
