LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles County sheriff’s spokesman says a Boston kidnapping suspect who went by the name “Clark Rockefeller” is actually a German man wanted for questioning in the 1985 disappearance of a San Marino couple.

Steve Whitmore told The Associated Press on Monday that investigators “positively identified” Christian Gerhartsreiter as the man being held in Boston and wanted for questioning in the disappearance of Jonathan and Linda Sohus.

Whitmore says Gerhartsreiter went by the name “Christopher Chichester” when he lived in the Sohus’ guesthouse at the time they went missing.

He had been going by the name “Clark Rockefeller” when authorities say he abducted his daughter in Boston on July 27. He was arrested in Baltimore Aug. 2.
