38: The Congressman & The Intern, Genocide in the Balkans

Chandra Levy, intern in Washington, D.C., disappeared in May 2001. Her case made headlines when her voicemail was checked- a message from Gary Condit checking on her was heard. Condit represented California's 18th Congressional district in the house of Representatives. His extramarital affair with the young woman would cause a world sensation of press coverage. He was ruled out as a suspect- but never could get over the damage to his political aspirations.

Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic pushed an agenda of nationalism and promoted xenophobia toward other ethnicities in Yugoslavia. In the 1990s, some 100,000 Bosnian Muslims and Croation civilians were murdered. Some 50,000 children and women were raped. Mass killing sites are still being discovered today.
