L.A. Authorities Link Rockefeller To Calif. Missing Persons Case

Boston kidnapping suspect Clark Rockefeller is a German man wanted for questioning in connection with a 1985 California missing persons case, the Los Angeles County sheriff said Monday.

Officials in California said Monday that Rockefeller is in fact the same man who called himself Christopher Chichester in the mid-1980s. At the time, Chichester was a tenant of a property owned by John and Linda Sohus, who disappeared and are believed dead. Chichester disappeared before authorities could question him.

Last week, Rockefeller refused to talk with California investigators about the case.

Rockefeller's attorney Stephen Hrones denied his client had any link to the California case.

"They are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at him. This matter in California is all speculation," Hrones said.

Last week, a man in a small town in Bavaria identified pictures of Rockefeller as his younger brother, Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, who went to America in the late 1970s as a teen and then lost contact with the family.
