Reconstructing a botched case
The Washington Post and washingtonpost.com team up to produce a 12-part series detailing the "chain of mistakes" that has left the high-profile murder of Chandra Levy unsolved for seven years. A lot of resources appear to have gone into this multi-platform effort. I count 21 names in the project credits.
From the "About This Series" page: The Post series provides a rare look at an unsolved homicide case from the inside, following the twists and turns of an investigation that was filled with false hopes, false leads and false suspects. It would tarnish a police department and wreck a reputation. It would move with tremendous energy and purpose in one direction and end up in another. It would be marked by an enormous effort by police - and a chain of mistakes that got longer and longer.
