DONNA KELLEY, CNN ANCHOR: The parents of missing Washington intern Chandra Levy are hoping that reward money will spur some new leads about her disappearance. In the meantime, D.C. police are assessing information from a fourth interview with California Congressman Gary Condit, one of the last people known to speak with Levy before she vanished. CNN's Kathleen Koch joins us now with more on the case -- Kathleen.

KATHLEEN KOCH, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Donna, police and FBI investigators this weekend are going over the results of the nearly hour-and-a-half-long interview Thursday night. In it, they focused on Chandra Levy's behavior and state of mind at the time that the 24- year-old disappeared. Congressman Condit's perspective is seen as critical, since police sources say he has admitted to them that the two were having an affair. Police though say that at this point, he is not a suspect, and they are nowhere close to solving the case.

CHIEF CHARLES RAMSEY, D.C. POLICE: But again, we have a lot of things going on in the District of Columbia, and we are doing everything we can to make sure that we give them all the kind of attention they need. But we're not draining resources off of one thing to do another.

KOCH: And police are hoping to get more facts by talking to residents of Chandra Levy's downtown D.C. apartment building. They questioned the majority of residents there, but still want those who haven't talked with police and who may know something to come forward.

D.C. police recruits, meanwhile, get a break this weekend from their arduous but so far unsuccessful search of local parks and wooded areas. It will resume on Monday, and police hope to conclude the labor-intensive and methodical canvassing by the end of the week -- Donna.

KELLEY: All right. Kathleen Koch in Washington, thanks very much.
