July 9, 2001 Levy's family asks that Condit be given a lie detector test. Having interviewed Condit three times, police request that the California Democrat take a polygraph test and submit a DNA sample.

July 10, 2001 Police spend four hours searching Condit's Washington apartment, with the congressman's permission. Executive Assistant Police Chief Terrance Gainer, Washington's second-ranking police official, says investigators were looking for blood, hair and "telltale signs of a struggle."

July 13, 2001 Rep. Gary Condit takes a lie-detector test arranged by his lawyer. The test showed he "was not deceptive in any way" in denying knowledge of what happened to missing intern Chandra Levy, the lawyer said. Police dismissed the test as "self-serving."

July 18, 2001 CBS News reports the FBI has transferred the Levy case to an investigator who handles so-called "cold cases." Bureau sources say the investigation will now likely focus less on Condit.
