Robert Levy: The country has a lot bigger problems going on and we have to work on those. Everyone is feeling terrible about the bombing, the terror attacks and the war.
Susan Levy: When the television cameras left and people stopped coming over, it gave me a chance to think everything over and it opened a lot of grief for me. We are devastated by the thought that there are thousands of families going though this, not knowing where their loved one is. We pray and our heart is with them.
Susan Levy: I pray and wish that our country could be safe and people should be strong. Many of the people who have been affected by Sept. 11 know that we are praying and that our hearts are with you. We will go on and keep being advocates for the missing. Keep having that hope, until you know there is no hope. Keep it going.
Robert Levy: Just faith and hope. That’s all we have. We haven’t had any messages. We haven’t had any possible sightings for a while. The investigators can’t tell us anything yet. The pressure, the strain of not knowing, just wears you down. We grieve because she’s missing, but we still have hope she’s alive somewhere.
Susan Levy: We try to keep the candlelight of hope going. It’s very hard to do.
Robert Levy: Even though there is not media coverage, they are working on leads. They’ve checked a lot of leads, and they are still checking them. We can’t say they know where she is.
Robert Levy: I can’t say that we would, because of how he’s conducted himself. We wouldn’t apologize for bringing it out about his deception.
Susan Levy: How honestly has he answered questions? How honest was he on the phone with me when I first asked about the relationship? It all makes me question his integrity. If it was really some other person that had been involved, then I’m big enough to make an apology if I have to. My ego is big enough that I can make an apology if I have to. But as a mother, I feel a gut feeling that he has some connection to why Chandra is not around. It may be direct and it may be indirect. It comes form a mother’s intuitive feeling. She would not have been missing maybe, if she not met him.
Susan Levy: No, not after meeting him at the Jefferson Hotel with our attorney. Nothing surprised me. His eyes and everything, He wrings his hand, his diverts his eyes; he doesn’t look at you directly. That kind of slumping. It’s just the way he would say something and not say anything at all.
Condit was recently named to House Terrorism and Homeland Security Subcommittee. Is he up to the job? Susan Levy: [Laughter] I think it’s a legitimate concern for all of us. It’s questionable in light of all that’s happened. It makes me a little nervous, in light of what communication I’ve had. It’s scary. His position comes with a lot of security information that is very vital to the existence of our country. Handling that kind of info takes a person with a lot of integrity and a lot of moral values and I don’t see that happening.
Robert Levy: You have to look at people’s character and if they can perform in that kind of function. I don’t really know. It’s a matter of integrity, not so much a matter of being [vulnerable] to being blackmailed.
Susan Levy: I’m not interested in the congressman’s political career. We are not interested in politics; what we need is information about our daughter. It’s about people who are experiencing loss. What we need are answers.
