Stardate 20010711.1406 (On Screen): I haven't been able to decipher just exactly what the police theory is about the Levy/Condit case. It's been more than two months since the last time anyone saw that young woman and apparently they have no idea whatever as to what might have become of her. So now, some ten weeks later, they've searched Representative Condit's home (with his permission). He has, of course, had plenty of time to dispose of anything which might be incriminating (if there were anything like that) so it's not clear just what they thought they'd find doing such a search.

Equally, they're trying to arrange a polygraph test. I am worried about this because the polygraph is much overrated. (I talked about that issue here.)

I think I do know what is going on. Levy's family has orchestrated a truly superb publicity campaign about the story, trickling out news at a regular rate in order to keep it on the nation's front pages for an astounding two months, and have forced the police to investigate Representative Condit quite thoroughly whether there's actually any reason to suspect him or not. I personally haven't got the slightest idea whether he's involved in her disappearance, but I'm pretty sure that what's going on now isn't going to answer that question. (discuss)

Update: Great minds think alike. (Coicidence, so far as I know, but interesting.)
