Kidnap father Clark Rockefeller is a ghost, say bewildered detectives
Times UK ^ | Aug 1, 2008 | David Brown

With his famous name, ostentatious display of wealth and upper-class accent, Clark Rockefeller was a pillar of respectability in the smart society of the American East Coast.

Yet police hunting Mr Rockefeller for abducting his daughter, who lives in London with her mother, admitted yesterday that they could find no trace of his existence before the early 1990s.

Detectives described Mr Rockefeller, 48, as a “ghost” who appears to have laid a false trail of clues as he planned the abduction of his daughter, Reigh Boss, 7, on Sunday.

His former wife of 12 years, Sandra Boss, 41, moved to London with Reigh this year. The wealthy socialite is a senior partner with McKinsey & Co, a management consulting firm.

She had taken Reigh back to Boston, Massachusetts, for an access visit supervised by a private social worker. Mr Rockefeller grabbed his daughter, known as Snooks, and bundled her into a waiting car.

Detectives are searching for any documentation, such as a social security number or birth certificate, that would give them an idea about who Mr Rockefeller really is. The oldest record traced is from the early 1990s, when he was listed as living on East 59th Street in Manhattan.

A high-ranking Boston police official told ABC News: “Nobody knows who this guy is. He is a ghost.”

The FBI last night revealed that Mr Rockefeller possesses a passport in the name Michael Brown.

Mobster? CIA? Witness protection?

I feel really sorry for mom, but this guy will be hard to find, seems like he knows a thing or two about changing identities.

So he isn’t actually a member of the Rockefeller family?

The couple lived in New Hampshire before the divorce.

Neighbors describe him as strange and weird.

I don’t feel too sorry for the mom. The mother moved the kid out of the country, away from her father, who had been her primary caregiver. If she hadn’t done that, he may not have felt the need to flee with the girl.

You are kidding, right? Tell me you’re kidding. So, if you don’t like a court ruling it’s ok to KIDNAP a child? You’re insane.

Kay..

Earlier the police was painting this guy to be a con artist or a fraud-ster....

Now they are saying the FBI can’t find a single trace of him at all?

WTF—Over?

I didn’t say it was okay for him to kidnap his daughter. But it seems to me that the ex-wife apparently thought little of the father’s rights to see the girl. The mother took the child to another continent. I see it as “what goes around, comes around”. I’m pretty sure,with her employment record, the mother could have gotten a job in the US so the father could continue to be involved in the child’s life on a regular basis. But instead, she moved the girl to Europe. If the girl’s reltionship with her father wasn’t important to the mother, then, no, I don’t feel too sorry for her.

Let me see now.

They may have changed their appearances, but the father speaks with an upper-class accent and the little girl is probably by now speaking with a slight British accent.
