WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Missing government intern Chandra Levy searched more than two dozen Web sites on the day after her last reported sighting, including news and travel sites, pages with congressional information, search engines and the site for the Baskin-Robbins ice cream chain.

District of Columbia Metropolitan Police said they hope the information released Friday evening jogs someone's memory of seeing Levy, 24, who has been missing for 80 days. The ice cream page listed a shop near her Washington apartment.

Meeting with cabdrivers Saturday

In another investigative effort, police have scheduled a meeting with cabdrivers Saturday to review their passenger logs in the days around Levy's disappearance.

Officers plan to meet with many of the city's 1,600 licensed cabbies in a parking lot surrounding RFK Stadium, trying to learn whether Levy may have taken a cab from her apartment at the Newport, a building at 1260 21st St. N.W.

She was last seen April 30 after canceling her membership to a Connecticut Avenue health club, to which she usually walked.

Police obtained the Internet data from the hard drive of her computer, later found in her apartment.

Sgt. Joe Gentile, a police spokesman, said additional sites also found on the hard drive of Levy's laptop computer are not being released "because they are evidentiary."

Among the sites Levy visited was one for the House Agriculture Committee, on which U.S. Rep. Gary Condit sits. Police say Condit, a California Democrat, has told them he was romantically involved with Levy.

She also visited thomas.loc.gov, a site operated by the Library of Congress that contains information about activities in Congress.

The list released by police shows that Levy visited sites for her hometown paper, The Modesto Bee in California, as well as The Washington Post, USA Today, Washington City Paper, San Francisco Chronicle, The Nando Times,The Hollywood Reporter, National Geographic and the Los Angeles Times.

No clues in parks

On Friday, police also spent a fifth fruitless day searching Washington parkland for any clue of Levy.

Nearly 30 police officers and recruits searched Rock Creek Park and another 20 combed Suitland Parkway, a scenic roadway leading into Washington from the east, wrapping up their search by midafternoon.

An animal bone and some decayed remains were found in the northernmost part of Rock Creek Park on the District of Columbia-Maryland border. Cadaver-detecting dogs were brought in and helped determine the remains were not human, according to Lt. Jeffrey Harold, head of the canine unit.

"We are going to continue doing what we've been doing and that is searching areas like Rock Creek Park and others where, if she did meet with foul play, if one wanted to dispose with remains, where could you do it and not have them found," said Metropolitan Police Chief Charles Ramsey.

Levy's mother: 'Very highly stressed'

Before leaving their home in Modesto for a weekend of seclusion, Levy's parents declined to comment on a newspaper report quoting Ramsey as saying there was a "fairly significant" chance investigators will never find their daughter.

"We are not commenting about anything. We're very highly stressed," said the mother, Susan Levy. "We miss our daughter terribly. We want her back alive."

In other developments, police sources told CNN that four hours before police began a search of Condit's apartment last week, the congressman was spotted at a northern Virginia site, dumping something into a trash can.

A witness, who recognized Condit from news coverage, called police after he saw the congressman.

Police then went to the trash can and recovered a watch case, according to the police source, and were able to trace the case to the store where it was purchased and then to the woman who bought it. Police interviewed the woman, who told them she had given the watch to Condit.

Police sources said that investigators continue to stress there is no evidence connecting Condit to the disappearance of Levy.

On another front, law enforcement sources told CNN they have evidence that a Pentecostal minister lied to FBI investigators when he told them his daughter had an affair with Condit when she was 18.

The Rev. Otis Thomas, a former gardener for the Levys, had told investigators that his daughter had an affair with Condit seven years ago and that the congressman warned her never to speak of it. That same day a note was found on the front door of the daughter's home denying any affair or even that she knew Condit.

"I never met that congressman who's involved in all this. I don't even have an interest in politics as it is," the note read.
