Levy family: Chandra left home without ID

Missing intern Levy has not been heard from since May 1

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Chandra Levy's family said the former federal intern last left her apartment with someone she knew because she did not take her purse, wallet, identification or credit cards and she often left her ID behind when she met her boyfriend, according to her parents' lawyer.

Before she vanished, Levy told her family that her boyfriend -- whom she called her "secret lover" -- demanded she not carry identification when they were together, attorney Billy Martin said Sunday.

"Chandra instructed friends and family that when she met with her secret lover and her friend that that was the procedure used. ... He did not want her to be identified," Martin said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

He said Levy "appears to have been lured, called or brought out of the apartment expecting to return" and said it was suspected that she had no identification.

Police Chief Charles Ramsey, appearing on CNN on Sunday that authorities had no leads in the case.

"We have a lot of information we still have to go through, but we're no closer to answering that question of what happened to Chandra Levy," Ramsey said on CNN's "Late Edition" with Wolf Blitzer.

Levy, 24, was last seen on April 30 when she canceled her membership at a Washington gym. She had finished an internship with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and was believed to be preparing to return to her Modesto, California, home.

She never arrived, and police found her bags packed at her apartment near Dupont Circle in Washington. Ramsey said that investigators had learned that Levy's computer had been in use almost steadily between 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m on May 1, and that "there was no indication that it was anyone other than her."

Levy's disappearance has drawn a California Democratic congressman, Rep. Gary Condit, into a harsh spotlight. Condit, a 53-year-old married father of two, is alleged to have had an affair with Levy, who is from his home district.

Police have interviewed Condit three times since Levy's disappearance and searched the congressman's Washington apartment. He also provided investigators with a DNA sample.

Police may need more information from Condit

But in the absence of any actual evidence of foul play, Ramsey said that Levy's disappearance was still classified as a missing person -- although he said that D.C. police "wouldn't be doing anything different if it were a criminal case."

As for Condit, Ramsey said he wanted to see the results of a privately administered polygraph examination Condit took this week -- an examination Condit's attorney, Abbe Lowell, said the congressman passed with flying colors.

"It would have been nice if we'd had the opportunity to formulate some of the questions," the chief said, "but it is what it is."

Ramsey also said that Condit could have valuable information regarding Levy's state of mind for the week before she disappeared, and could help fill in gaps in a time line.

Meanwhile, the Levy's parents said on Fox's "America's Most Wanted" that there was no evidence their daughter ever made a plane reservation to come home from Washington, although she told them she was coming and seemed excited about it.

In an interview aired Saturday, Susan and Robert Levy also said they were puzzled by Chandra's evasiveness about giving them the time of her arrival.

"She wouldn't give us a time exactly when she was coming home, as far as airplane time, and that I found kind of bothersome to me, because I would think she would tell me exactly when and what time she was coming home, like what reservation and what plane she's going to come in," Susan Levy said.

The Levys got an e-mail from Chandra dated May 1 that discussed prices for airline tickets, the last time they heard from her.

Ramsey said that Levy visited Web sites pertaining to travel during her 3 1/2 hour-session on the computer on May 1, including travel agencies and mapping sites. He said that she looked up places both near Washington and near her California home and sent e-mail.
