On Monday, April 23, 2001, 24-year-old Chandra Ann Levy completed her final day as an intern for the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Washington, D.C. Five days later, she left a message for her landlord, explaining that she would be moving back home to Modesto, California, on May 5 or 6 (via ABC News). As reported by NBC Washington, Levy planned to return to California in time to attend her May 11 graduation from the University of Southern California, where she earned a master's degree. She canceled her membership at the Washington Sports Club on Monday, April 30, and was last seen leaving the building shortly after 7:00 p.m. The following day, Levy sent her parents an email to tell them about her plans to return home. Unfortunately, Levy was never seen or heard from again.

ABC News reports Levy's landlord attempted to call her multiple times on Wednesday, May 2, to confirm the specific date she planned to leave. However, his calls went unanswered. The landlord and Levy's parents continued trying to contact her via telephone and email. As they were unable to reach her, Levy's parents contacted the police on Saturday, May 5.
Authorities searched Levy's apartment and conducted an extensive search of the area around the apartment complex, including several public parks along the Anacostia and Potomac rivers. However, they did not find any trace of the missing woman. Over one year later, on Wednesday, May 22, 2002, Levy's skeletal remains were found in Rock Creek Park.
