“A German who calls himself Clark Rockefeller has been indicted on kidnapping charges for the alleged snatching of his 7-year-old daughter from a Boston street during a supervised visit in July.”

“Defense attorney Stephen Hrones said the indictments “reflect the same weaknesses as the original charges.” Hrones said he will enter pleas of not guilty on Monday, and likely will seek bail for his client.”

Crockefeller’s attorney is as nutty as he is.

Hadn’t they already found one body in that yard when the current occupants went to put in a pool or something?

Yep, sure did. They thought it might be the guy, but I haven’t seen where that’s been confirmed anywhere.

Today, LA County Sheriff’s investigators conducted a search in the yard of the home that once belonged to Jonathan and Linda Sohus, the couple who disappeared in ‘85. Rockefeller/Chichester/Gerhartsreither was living in their guesthouse has been named a “person of interest” in the case. Anyway, they brought in the cadaver-sniffing dogs, the ground-penetrating radar, etc. They’re not saying much about the results of the serach, other than it was “very productive.” So, may be more developments on this soon.

The FBI has confirmed that “Clark Rockefeller & Chris Chichester” is really Christian Karl Gerhartsreither from
Germany.

Looks like this weirdo may be even creepier than initially suspected.

Today it was confirmed that LA is sending police to Boston to interview him in the murder of the couple and disappearance of their friend.

That would explain why nobody knows who he is.

I read on AOL that they were investigting him for some other “stuff”. He is creepy. How do you just “assume” a new identity. Does it come with a new ass? If so, sign me up!

Gee go figure.. ‘Mr. Rockefeller’ might have a criminal past..

He was arraigned today and denied bond.

ETA: Oh, what I really want to know is how do you MARRY and reproduce with someone about whom you know so little? No family? No records? I think I’d have caught on a bit sooner, don’t you??

AYup (in my best Goofy voice)

Sad for the little girl. Now she’s probably being raised by nannies (REAL ones NOT named Zannie). Hope they are better for her than mom and dad.

Two scenarios spring to mind:

1. He’s got some truly horrific criminal past and would spend the rest of his life behind bars if anyone knew who he was.

2. He is a quirky, eccentric billionaire son of some big family (yes, like the Rockefellers) who wanted to make a complete break with them. They probably don’t know where he is or haven’t seen him in 25 years or so.

Oh, or 3. He’s actually D.B. Cooper.

I was just reading more of the story below. I can’t believe he agreed to give up custody of her to the mother instead of saying his real identity. Who is this guy?

Clark Rockefeller, the man accused of abducting his daughter in a Back-Bay neighborhood Sunday, chose to give up custody of the 7-year-old girl in order to keep his identity a secret, according to the Boston Herald.

Rockefeller reportedly signed off on a divorce settlement with his ex-wife last year after she exposed him as a fraud in court. The Herald cites an unnamed source who said that Rockefeller agreed to relinquish all custodial privileges in the arrangement, and was allowed only supervised visits with his daughter.

Ex-wife Sandra Boss claimed that Rockefeller had created his phony alias to pretend he had a connection to the wealthy oil family. It is still unclear whether Boss ever knew Rockefeller’s true identity. He was unable to provide a copy of his birth certificate to Boss’ lawyers.

In exchange for full custody of her daughter, Boss agreed to give Rockefeller almost $1 million. Reigh Storrow Mills Boss then moved to London with her mother, a wealthy managing consultant, in December. Boss had finished paying out the settlement to Rockefeller only weeks before he allegedly abducted the girl, according to the source.

Rockefeller was his daughter’s primary care provider from the day she was born, sources said. He took Reigh to and from school, watched her while his wife worked long hours and was in charge of her discipline.

“The mother was always working and he essentially raised the child . . . but the father was a control freak,” said the source. “Ultimately, he refused to say who he really was, so she got custody.”

By all accounts, Rockefeller had raised the child since she was an infant while the mother worked. He ceded custody of her to Boss earlier this year, however, rather than reveal his true identity, according to a Boston Herald report.

Boss paid him nearly $1 million as part of the divorce proceedings, the Herald reported.

A spokesman for the famous Rockefeller family, descended from Standard Oil billionaire John D. Rockefeller Sr., said he was not part of the wealthy clan.
