DR. ROBERT LEVY: We want to know what he knows, and we want the truth. A lot of questions could be asked if he were under oath…
SUSAN LEVY: If a person doesn’t have a conscience and doesn’t have a character and doesn’t have a relationship with God, it may not matter whether that person takes an oath or a hundred polygraphs. And I’m not saying I’m referring to anyone. But anyone who has a relationship with my daughter, who really knew my daughter in that last month, needs to come forward and be what we call in Judaism a mensch, a man, a person of character.
MRS. LEVY: It’s not just our daughter, but everybody’s daughter. Or son or grandchild. We realize that a lot of people who are missing don’t have the attention…
DR. LEVY: But on the other hand, it’s tough to see her picture out there and all the implications. It’s just been ongoing torture for us, [happening] in front of the whole country. But the attention is there and we have to use it to help find her, if we can. And we hope we can publicize other people who are missing.
MRS. LEVY: It’s a mystery to me. I just have to wonder if she’s sitting out there and watching this, because when she was very young she was in a kids’ group and would stand on the periphery and watch. She had this ability to stand back and be analytical. I like to think she’s out there watching this and that she’s alive. That’s our hope.
DR. LEVY: We can’t really say we think that, because it’s not likely from the circumstances, but it’s possible.
MRS. LEVY: I just wanted her to be protected, to be safe. I said it jokingly, at first. I apologize to Mrs. Lewinsky, Monica’s family. I want you to put that in there, my deepest apology. There’s no connection. It’s just that I’m a woman who’s very distraught. Women are victimized in our culture.
DR. LEVY: Even though she’s intelligent, she’s not been exposed to evil. She expects people to have good motives, and when she’s close to someone she believes what they say.
DR. LEVY: Yeah, she’s in a relationship with someone whose marriage is not really a real marriage and she [thinks they] might get married in a few years.
DR. LEVY: Well, we didn’t really know. As far as I knew, she was seeing a divorced congressman from southern California.
MRS. LEVY: She skimmed around it. She was trying to keep a secret, as she was told to.
MRS. LEVY: Even though he apologized to me because he lied to me, my intuitive gut feeling was that he wasn’t [lying]. I can’t see how someone could have brought up a story like that in the first place if it wasn’t [true].
MRS. LEVY: Early April, end of March. We were talking about daughters in general, and it just kind of came out about his daughter. I didn’t tell him anything about whom [Chandra] was seeing because I did not know. But I used a mother’s intuitive thing to put two and two together and that’s how I knew, and I asked my daughter about it directly afterward on the phone. And told her to be careful, because I didn’t want her to get hurt. [Later] she told me she had talked to her friend and she said, “Everything’s OK. He knows everything,” and then a little bit later my daughter no longer has her job and a few days later she disappears. What can I say? Kind of strange to me. Real strange.
MRS. LEVY: I have no idea. I know the relationship was supposed to be very secret. And something happens and it gets out, and all of a sudden my daughter’s missing. I feel responsible in a way. Maybe if I hadn’t raised that story, things would be different. I don’t know. It makes me wonder.
