Well that sounds like the other shoe dropping. Or if not a shoe then at least a very heavy sock. According to this late report from FoxNews, in his interview with police over the weekend Gary Condit told investigators that he “broke off his close friendship” with Levy two days before she disappeared. Apparently Condit used the placeholder of a “close friendship” to describe the events of the April 29th and 30th, while strongly implying, though not saying, that they were lovers.

Sources tell Fox that when Condit “broke off his close friendship” with Levy she “was extremely disappointed and distraught, refusing to take no for an answer and even becoming obsessed with him.”

As we’ve noted before, consider the time line. On the 28th, Condit’s wife arrives from California. Early on the 29th Condit talks to Chandra and breaks off their “close friendship.” This is followed by two days of pager messages from Chandra to Condit which, according to FOXNews, Condit says he never returned.

This is like a jigsaw puzzle beginning to fit together.
