Where Is Gary Condit Today? Details About the Fallen Politician After Chandra Levy’s Murder Trial

It’s been years since Chandra Levy’s infamous murder case shook the nation, and in 2017, her death was revisited in TLC’s docuseries Chandra Levy: An American Murder Mystery. The three-part series explored former politician Gary Condit’s alleged involvement with Levy before her tragic death.

While an undocumented immigrant named Ingmar Guandique was convicted of Levy’s murder in 2010, his conviction was overturned in 2015 due to “unforeseen developments.” He was later released and deported to his native El Salvador in 2017, where he currently lives.

Amid the premiere of the docuseries, all eyes were on Condit, the former California state representative who — according to Levy’s family — was allegedly having an affair with the 24-year-old federal government intern before she died. Though police ruled him out as a suspect, true crime enthusiasts have remained curious about the former politician’s relationship to Levy.

When Levy disappeared in 2001, Condit was serving as a Democratic representative in Modesto, California. Though he has vehemently denied any romantic involvement with Levy, CNN reported that the married father of two admitted to the alleged affair during initial police investigations. The outlet also reported that officials matched Condit to DNA collected from Levy’s undergarments in her home.

Despite his denials, Condit’s ties to Levy’s case ultimately caused his political career to crumble. In 2002, he lost his house seat — just mere weeks after Levy’s remains were discovered in Washington, D.C.’s Rock Creek Park. Condit then moved to Arizona, where he opened several Baskin-Robbins stores. However, his venture in the ice cream business was cut short in 2012, when his franchises reportedly closed.

In 2016, he co-authored a book about Levy’s murder scandal, titled Actual Malice. He appeared on numerous talk shows to promote the book, sharing his side of the story. “I did not have a romantic involvement with her, and I was not involved in her disappearance in any way,’’ he said during an appearance on Dr. Phil in October 2016. “I haven’t answered that question publicly for 15 years, and I’m not going to change my position or my view on that today or any time in the future. Not only is it not relevant, but I think that people are entitled to some level of privacy.”
