More details have emerged on yesterday's arrest of Clark Rockefeller, whose wife divorced him after learning that his claimed membership in the Rockefeller dynasty was totally bogus. Rockefeller allegedly abducted his daughter last Sunday from a street in Boston; yesterday afternoon the FBI arrested him and took the daughter (pictured) into custody unharmed.

After a weeklong search, this afternoon the FBI found Clark Rockefeller and his kidnapped 7-year-old daughter, Reigh "Snooks" Boss in Baltimore. The NY Post did not have many details to offer up other than that Clark was taken into police custody and that Reigh is "safe and sound." In Boston, where the child was first abducted, officials said that they would hold a press conference later this evening.

Sandra Boss, the mother of missing 7-year-old Reigh Boss, made a police-filmed video statement, pleading with her ex-husband to return their daughter. The child was snatched by Clark Rockefeller during a social worker-supervised visit in Boston on Sunday, and the paid were driven to NYC's Grand Central. Boss said, "Clark, although many things have changed, you will always be Reigh's father and I will always be Reigh's mother. We both love her dearly and have only her best interests and well-being in our hearts." It's believed that Rockefeller, described as a con man who had exchanged hundreds of thousands in cash into gold, cut Reigh's hair short to make her pass for a boy; authorities are currently investigating sightings of the pair in the Caribbean.

The FBI, Coast Guard, and police from Boston and NYC continued to look for a 4-year-old girl and her father, after he abducted the child in Boston on Sunday. The authorities say Clark Rockefeller (not related to the well-known Rockefeller family) grabbed his daughter, Reigh, during a social worker-supervised visit and got into an SUV; the social worker held onto the vehicle and was dragged a distance. Then a female friend drove Rockefeller and Reigh to Grand Central Terminal; when she realized the child was missing, she went to a Queens station house and said Rockefeller mentioned heading to Bermuda. However, the Daily News reports "Rockefeller...may have given her wrong information expecting that she might later go to police." Rockefeller, who is described as a "con man" with "four aliases," has a yacht on Long Island.
