'Rockefeller' to Boston for arraignment

BOSTON, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- A mystery man calling himself Clark Rockefeller, charged with kidnapping his daughter, was set to be arraigned in a Boston court, officials said Tuesday.

Rockefeller, 48, was to be transported from Baltimore to Boston Municipal Court Tuesday or Wednesday, where he is to face charges he abducted his 7-year-old daughter, Reigh, during a supervised custody visit, aiming to change his identity and begin a new life with the child, the Boston Herald reported.

The man's true identity remains a mystery, but prosecutors say they want to throw the book at Rockefeller, who fathered Reigh "Snooks" Storrow Mills Boss with ex-wife Sandra Boss, a Boston socialite and London businesswoman. In divorce proceedings, Boss claimed she was deceived by the man, who said he was a blueblood descended from the famous wealthy family, the newspaper reported.

"Clearly, the defendant deliberately and with premeditation took his daughter from her legal guardian when he had no right to do so," Jake Wark, spokesman for Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley, told the Herald.

Police say Rockefeller had purchased a townhome in Baltimore with the child in tow, allegedly telling a realtor his name was Chip Smith and saying he was a charter yacht captain.
