Ingmar Guandique (mugshot)
Ingmar Guandique, the man charged with murdering Chandra Levy, will appear in court today. The 28-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and other charges, and his attorneys are requesting a new venue for his trial. They believe massive media coverage will not allow him to have a fair trial.
Guandique was already serving a ten-year sentence in California for attacks on two other women in Rock Creek Park. In 2002, Chandra’s remains were found in the same park. Investigators believe Chandra was murdered on May 1, 2001. At the time of her death, Chandra was interning at the Federal Bureau of Prisons and was having an alleged affair with Congressman Gary Condit (D-Calif). Condit was never named a suspect.
