D.C. police find leg bone in Rock Creek park

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A human leg bone was found in Rock Creek Park Thursday in the area near where the remains of former intern Chandra Levy were found last month, police sources said.

The bone was discovered about 25 yards from where the other remains were located. It was found by a private investigator working for the Levy family, the sources said.

Police spokesman Joe Gentile said Cmdr. Christopher Lojacano, the head of the police unit's forensic science division, would hold a news conference in the park around 9:30 p.m. ET.

Gentile said no one has been arrested.

Levy, 24, was remembered as "every father's daughter" at a memorial service last month in her hometown of Modesto, California.

The service, attended by more than 1,000 people, followed the announcement by the District of Columbia medical examiner that her death was officially classified as a homicide.

Her remains were found a week earlier by a man walking his dog in a remote area of the 1,755-acre park. Police searched the park last July but missed the remote spot.

Her remains -- along with some clothing including a sweatshirt and sneakers -- were discovered in an area thick with underbrush. Police say a Sony Walkman was also found at the base of a steep cliff.

Police last month released a photograph of a pinkie ring belonging to Levy. The ring has not been recovered, and police want people to know what it looks like in case they come across it in the park.

The 14-karat gold ring has the initials "CL" and two diamonds.

The search for Levy and massive publicity that accompanied it was largely a result of her connection to Rep. Gary Condit, D-California.

Her family and police sources said the two had an affair, but the lawmaker publicly acknowledged only a friendship and refused to describe it further. Police sources said he confirmed a romantic relationship with Levy in an interview with investigators.

Neither Condit nor anyone else has been named a suspect in Levy's disappearance.
