German Man on Crockefeller Pic: "It Seems You Found My Brother"

2008_08_crock2.jpgFinally! It looks like Clark Rockefeller, the mysterious con man who abducted his daughter (his wife had custody) and turned up in Baltimore a week later, is actually Christian Gerhartsreiter, a German national from Bavaria. When the Boston Herald handed Alexander Gerhartsreiter a photograph of Clark Rockefeller, he said, "It seems you found my brother." Gerhartsreiter said his brother admitted to changing his name to Christopher Chichester--who is wanted for questioning in the disappearance of a California couple. And Gerhartsreiter said, "As far as I remember, Christian was an open-minded and social person and he was able persuade people very well."
