It is our paper, after all.

There are lots of murders in D.C. I can see this being at the most a national interest story which might go for a news cycle. Lots of kids go to D.C. for intern jobs, etc., but this is complete overkill.

Besides the unwarranted Condit speculation, I don't see the big deal.

How is it overkill? 6 years have passed since her body was found, and it was over seven years ago that she disappeared. It's not totally unusual for a newspaper to go back and write an article about an unsolved case that shook its respective city. My teeny tiny hometown does it every so often, especially when the case involved a young female who was killed. I'm sure in 5 years or so, the Birmingham paper will probably do something similar with Natalee Holloway.
