Clark Rockefeller charged in California death
Clark Rockefeller (born Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter) was charged today in the death of John Sohus, his landlord when he lived in California. John and his wife Linda went missing in 1985, and his body was found buried in his backyard in 1994. There has long been speculation about Rockefeller’s possible role in the disappearance. Today’s indictment accuses him of one count of murder, specifically with a blunt object.
Rockefeller, of course, is the man who made headlines in Boston after he kidnapped his young daughter from his ex-wife, and his secret life of false identities and tall tales was revealed. He is currently in prison in Massachusetts for his conviction in that case, but L.A. County prosecutors reportedly want him sent there to be tried on the murder charge.
