The man who would be Rockefeller

Father and daughter
The man who called himself "Clark Rockefeller" but whom police have identified as Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter is pictured here with his daughter, Reigh Boss, in an undated photo provided by the FBI. Gerhartsreiter became the object of an international manhunt in July 2008 when he allegedly abducted Reigh from his ex-wife during a custodial visit.

Helping in the hunt
Julie Gochar, managing partner of Obsidian Reality, spoke to reporters in Baltimore about her firm's role in helping authorities find Gerhartsreiter. The man known as Clark Rockefeller had contacted Obsidian about buying a home in Baltimore, where he apparently planned to start a new life with his daughter under the assumed name "Chip Smith."

The 'Rockefeller' boat
A "concerned citizen" tipped off authorities that the man known as Clark Rockefeller was living in a Baltimore apartment and had a 26-foot catamaran docked at a nearby marina. Police lured "Rockefeller" out his apartment by calling him and telling him that the boat was taking on water.



Multiple identities
This image provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department shows a wanted poster of the suspect variously known as “Clark Rockefeller,” “Chris Chichester,” and what authorities say is his real name, Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter. The poster asks for information regarding the 1985 disappearance of John and Linda Sohus, of whom Gerhartsreiter had been a tenant.

The couple who vanished
This undated image shows Jonathan and Linda Sohus, in whose San Marino, Calif. guesthouse the man now identified as Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter had been a tenant. The couple disappeared in 1985. Authorities believe an skeleton unearthed in 1994 to be the remains of Jonathan Sohus; Linda has never been found.

Jailhouse interview
In August 2008 Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter spoke with NBC News’ Natalie Morales during an exclusive jailhouse interview in which he gave a cryptic account of his life, claiming not to remember much of it. The man who called himself “Clark Rockefeller” refused to definitively deny that he is related to the famed Rockefeller family.

Ex-wife takes the stand
During Gerhartsreiter's kidnapping trial at Suffolk Superior Court in Boston, June 1, 2009, Sandra Boss was asked to produce her daughter's birth certificate. She described her ex-husband, who is facing charges for kidnapping his daughter, as attractive and charming when she met him. But, she said, things changed for the worse when they married.


Judgment day
Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, also known Clark Rockefeller, listens to the verdict in his kidnapping trial in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston on June 12, 2009. Rockefeller, whom the FBI and prosecutors have identified as Gerhartsreiter, was found guilty of kidnapping his 7-year-old daughter and of one of two charges of assault on a social worker.
