While D.C. police focused most of their investigative efforts on Rep. Gary Condit and his relationship to missing intern Chandra Levy, they were slow to recognize another lead. It involved a man who was attacking women in the woods of Rock Creek Park.
The day Chandra disappeared, May 1, 2001, Ingmar A. Guandique, a 19-year-old illegal Salvadoran immigrant, did not show up for his construction job. Around that time, he went to stay with his former landlady, Sheila Phillips Cruz, the manager of an apartment building on Somerset Place NW. Cruz noticed that Guandique looked like he had been in a bad fight, his face battered and bruised. He had a fat lip, a bloody blemish in his eye and scratches around his throat.

I followed this story for a long time. I actually thought Condit did it. I guess killing young women was this illegal aliens' part time job that an American (former senator) wouldn't do . . .  |

I'm surprised the uber pro-illegal Wash Post would even cover this angle. Subscriptions must be falling.

I was a little surprised myself. However, it's all over the internet, so I'm sure they covered it for the sake of appearing as if they are in the loop,  |

In my opinion, he's is in jail on other charges, Ingmar A. Guandique, 19, (now 27) a Salvadoran illegal alien, "wanted a better life in America". A friend paid a coyote $5 grand to get him to the Rio Grande river where he swam across. He' been charged with two other attempted rapes and a kidnaping in the same park where Chandra Levy body was found.

He was violent with his American girlfriend, he kicked in the bedroom door of their apartment, splintering the wood. He slammed his head against the bathroom wall, making a hole in the plaster. He punched her in the face. He held his hands to her throat, saying that if he couldn't have her, no one could when she wanted to leave him. He robbed a neighbor, he was wearing red work gloves, black pants and a baseball cap, and was carrying three screwdrivers - a poor man's burglary kit.

I was just going to ask if anyone had seen anything on that. The article I saw only said "immigrant" - it didn't say anything about illegal or legal. I was wondering if that was another case of the media leaving out key info just to not stir anything up. They sure had no problem stirring it up for the Senator back then though did they?

Nine times out of ten, when they say “immigrant” it is indeed an illegal alien. |

Truer words . . . The last I heard he opened a small family run business. I think it was the equivalent of a DQ. He was run out of dodge wasn't he? Little did we know at the time that pretty much all of them had sold their souls and our sovereignty to the corporate devils. |

Unless he legalized his immigration status shortly after arrival, he's illegal...
From the Washington Post article:

Guandique wanted a better life in America. A friend of the family lent him $5,000 to pay a "coyote" to smuggle him across the Texas border with more than 50 others. The seventh-grade dropout left home in January 2000, eventually swimming across the Rio Grande, crossing the border near Piedras Negras and arriving in Houston in March 2000. From there, he made his way to Washington to join his half-brother, Huber, and other family friends.

What bothers me is the selective "hatchet jobs" by the Washington Post, which is supposed to be above that sort of junk. In their description of the current suspect:
Guandique (pronounced GWAN-dee-keh) had come from a hard-scrabble hamlet near the city of San Miguel in El Salvador. His father was kidnapped by guerrillas during the Salvadoran civil war, before Guandique's birth in 1981, and later executed. The son grew up in an adobe house with a dirt floor, no running water and an open pit for cooking meals. The home was decorated with family photos and pictures of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary taped to pink and white sheets of plastic that served as wallpaper.
Who Killed Chandra Levy? Chapter Six (washingtonpost.com)
They weren't nearly this charitable when describing the innocent Gary Condit. |
