The man who calls himself Clark Rockefeller gave a jailhouse interview with the Today Show and did not admit to not being part of the famous clan, "I really couldn't tell you. Perhaps at some point we can do a DNA test and find out." But he does claim he grew up in NYC!

As the mysteries around Clark Rockefeller, the apparent con man who abducted his daughter during a social worker-supervised visit, are still being unraveled, here's an definitely bizarre addition: The German national actually used the Son of Sam's Social Security number to get his stock broker's license. The NY Post reports that Rockefeller, born Christian Gerhartsreiter, was fired from his firm when it learned he used David Berkowitz's SS#. A German man, a friend of Rockefeller's father, described Rockefeller as "crazy, always crazy He was like Batman before there was Batman, always going into different roles." Some classmates in Bavaria, Germany suspect he fled the country to avoid military service.

Finally! 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."

After Clark Rockefeller abducted his daughter in Boston and went on the lam--through NYC-- for days, only to be found in Baltimore a week later, the mystery about who Rockefeller really is continues to rivet people. While he falsely claimed to be part of the famous clan, now it's suggested he might be a German national named Christian Gerhart Reiter. Reiter had stayed with a Connecticut family an exchange student in the 1970s (the family said he acted oddly). Rockefeller, who has not provided any passports or other information about his past (and claims not to remember anything before 1993), is also being questioned about the deaths of California newlyweds. A man named Christopher Chicester--who looks like Rockefeller--had been staying with them.
