About Christian Gerhartsreiter

  • Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter (born February 21, 1961) is a convicted murderer and impostor.
  • Born in Germany, he is currently serving a prison sentence in California.
  • In his late teens, Gerhartsreiter moved to the US, where he lived under a succession of aliases while variously claiming to be an actor, director, art collector, a physicist, a ship's captain, a negotiator of international debt agreements, and an English aristocrat. In 1995 while using the assumed identity "Clark Rockefeller," claiming to be part of the noted Rockefeller family, he married a successful businesswoman, Sandra Boss.
  • They had a daughter together.
  • Gerhartsreiter lived well solely on his wife's income.
  • She became dissatisfied with his secretive, controlling behavior and sought a divorce.
  • Inquiries on her behalf revealed that he had fabricated his name and his family background.
  • The couple divorced and Gerhartsreiter agreed to accept limited access to his daughter on supervised visits.
  • Gerhartsreiter was arrested on August 2, 2008, six days after he abducted his daughter while she was on a visit.
  • He was subsequently convicted of the custodial kidnapping of his daughter. In addition to Clark Rockefeller, Gerhartsreiter's aliases include Chris C.
  • Crowe, Chris Chichester, and Chip Smith.
  • Gerhartsreiter's true identity was revealed after author Edward Savio -- who Gerhartsreiter briefly lived with upon arriving in the United States -- contacted the FBI during the manhunt after seeing a photo of "Clark Rockefeller" on the news.
  • Police had been seeking Gerhartsreiter since 1985 as a suspect in the disappearance of a married couple in California.
  • He was convicted in 2013 of the 1985 murder of Jonathan Sohus and is serving 27 years to life in a California prison.
