“MK Confidential" opens in a hotel lobby in Annapolis, Maryland, in July of 2016. A sliding glass door closes on a golden retriever named Buddy, and a stranger gathers the animal up and carries him inside. He tells the dog’s owner his name is Phoenix. Over the next few days he tells her the rest — twenty years in prison, and still capable of doing horrific things when prompted. She gets frightened enough to start recording their conversations. By the time she stops, she has seven hours of a career criminal named Armando Morales, the witness who sent Ingmar Guandique to prison for sixty years for the murder of Chandra Levy. Megyn Kelly lays out how the murder conviction comes apart. On the stand, Morales swore he had never been an informant. Sitting in the government’s own files was a letter proving otherwise — a document the prosecution never turned over, and the defense was entitled to have. A judge vacates the conviction and orders a new trial. Then, the tapes surface, and the government’s star witness sounds nothing like the reformed man the jury voted to trust. On July 28th, 2016, prosecutors drop the murder charge. Guandique is deported to El Salvador, and disappears. A dismissal is not an acquittal, and it is not an exoneration. Megyn walks through what the evidence still shows, and what has never fit — the rough horse trail where Chandra’s family says she would never have run, the workout shoes still sitting in her apartment, an unidentified man’s DNA on her clothing, her missing keys and pinkie ring, never found. Chandra’s aunt never believed Guandique killed her; neither did the family’s private eye. In time, even Bob and Susan Levy stopped being sure. Twenty-five years after their daughter walked out of her apartment, the murder of Chandra Levy is, in the eyes of the law, unsolved. Her parents find consolation in ladybugs, the source of Chandra’s childhood nickname, which find them wherever they go, exploring the world in honor of the daughter who left so much of it unseen. This is Episode 5, and the conclusion of the Chandra Levy story.
