Clark Rockefeller to be questioned over possible homicide

A man accused of kidnapping his seven-year-old daughter is to be questioned over a possible San Francisco homicide, US authorities have confirmed.

Clark Rockefeller is accused of abducting Reigh Storrow Boss during her visit to Boston on July 27th.

He was arrested by the FBI in Baltimore, Maryland, on Saturday after a week-long manhunt.

Mr Rockefeller is thought to have a number of different aliases and authorities are still trying to figure out exactly who he is.

Suffolk district attorney Dan Conley said they had no record of him before 1993 adding that Mr Rockefeller claims not to remember where he is from, where his parents are and even if he is from the United States.

"At this point he has provided essentially no biographical data about himself before 1993," assistant district attorney David Deakin said in court.

Los Angeles county sheriff's department spokesman Steve Whitmore confirmed yesterday that homicide detectives were being sent to interview Mr Rockefeller in Boston.

He is understood to be a "person of interest" in the investigation into the disappearance of San Fransisco couple Jonathan and Linda Sohus who went missing in 1985.

According to reports a man called Christopher Chichester lived on the Sohus' property and disappeared at the same time as the couple.

"We want to find out if he is indeed Christopher Chichester," Mr Whitmore said.

"And if so, if there's anything he can tell us about the disappearance and possible homicide of the Sohuses."

Mr Rockefeller is charged with felony custodial kidnapping, assault and battery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and a pre-trial has been set for September 3rd.

After he was arrested on Saturday, London-based Reigh was discovered unharmed and later reunited with her mother Sandra Boss.

Mr Rockefeller separated from Ms Boss last year.
