It is already Friday and the daughter of Sandra L. Boss has been missing since Sunday when she was abducted from supervised visitation by her father a con artist. On behalf of other victims of love fraud, I want to tell Sandra that we are praying for her and her daughter. We also understand how an intelligent, loving, successful person can be duped.
Sandra L. Boss asks for return of daughter
Last night Sandra appeared before the cameras to ask that her former husband return the child, age 7. To see the video visit ABC News. She gave the following message: “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. I ask you now, please, please bring ‘Snooks’ back. There has to be a better way for us to solve our differences than this way. Reigh, honey, I love you and miss you so much. Remember you’re always a princess,”
Who was this woman who married and had a child with a con artist?
According to ABC News Sandra Boss, “is a senior partner in the London office of McKinsey & Company. She has done consultant work for New York Sen. Charles Schumer and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and has ties to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.” According to the New York Post, Sandra met her husband when he dated her identical twin sister. Apparently a friend said, “There was nothing to suspect, really. He said he was a Rockefeller and he always seemed to have money,” said the friend. “Her parents loved him.”
Who is this con man father?
According to ABC News and America’s Most Wanted, Sandra’s ex-husband and Reigh’s father is a con man with no social security number or driver’s license. He used the alias Clark Rockefeller and claimed to be a member of the Rockefeller family. He also used other aliases. Police in Boston have said Rockefeller, who is believed to be 48, has used several aliases with variations on the names James, Frederick, Mills and Clark, as well as Rockefeller. Police are actively searching for prior school records.
According to ABC news, “Investigators also are unclear about Rockefeller’s education history, the official said, despite reports that he commonly told acquaintances he attended Yale and Harvard. Some people have told authorities that Rockefeller said that his parents died in a car crash when he was young; others were told he was homeschooled as a kid.”
People apparently continue to be fooled. One neighbor who knew Rockefeller is quoted as saying, “He had a lot to offer as a person,”
The divorce
Boss and “Rockefeller” divorced last year. All the documents were sealed so we don’t know if Boss was ordered to support “Rockefeller.” Several news agencies allege a custody battle. We know that he was granted only supervised visitation.
The kidnapping
The kidnapping was planned with malice and forethought. “Rockefeller” conned a livery driver into believing he was picking up the daughter from a gay lover who would resist. So when the male social worker tried to retrieve the girl, the livery driver sped off. Another unwitting accomplice was paid $500 to drive the kidnapper and the kidnapped girl from Boston to New York.
The public is confused- and so is Sandra
To give you the full story here I read a number of articles on this story. There is a commentary today in the Boston Herald by Peter Gelzinis, Amid hoopla little girl remains missing. In it he accuses Sandra of being “self-absorbed” and equates her to the con artist! He also points out that Sandra told authorities she did not believe “Rockefeller” would harm the little girl. Police issued the Amber alert though when they gained information that led them to believe otherwise.
One person commenting on the story wrote, “I’m confused if this guy is a fraud, why do they keep saying he kidnapped his daughter. They aren’t related right? This story is confusing me. It’s his daughter? THEN WTF ARE YOU BLABBING ABOUT HIS SECRET BS IDENTITY!!??!?! Stop it and find some real information. “Ohhhh i’m abcnews, here’s a bunch of fake information this guy tells everyone. Wooooh” Find this kidnapped girl.”
Lovefraud’s Mission
It is our job here at Lovefraud.com to end the confusion and ignorance. Thankfully, I found out about this story from an ABC reporter who contacted me through Donna. The reporter asked me if I had a message for Sandra. I’ll print it here then perhaps you who also understand will add yours.
Sandra, although you might have loved this man he appears to be a psychopathic con artist. You have to put your love aside and think with your head about what that means. He is dangerous! You also have to ignore family members and the public who say “A child needs her father.” The child does not need a psychopathic con artist in her life at all. I pray that the child will be found unharmed. I am sorry that the family courts failed you. Remember the judicial system has also failed others including Dr. Amy Castillo. We have to get the courts to recognize the plight of victims of love fraud and the children that result from these acts of psychological rape.
ADDENDUM
Aug 2 The Boston Herald reports that Boss paid “Rockefeller” over 1 million dollars in the divorce settlement. He was denied custody and placed on supervised visitation when he refused to reveal his identitiy. I wonder if anyone related to Boss really understood the nature of this man.
abc News story quoting Donna, myself and Trish.
Saturday, “Rockefeller” was captured in Baltimore, MD. The girl was found unharmed and reunited with her mother. To read about the capure on CNN
Tuesday, 8/5/08 GMA reported this AM that “Rockefeller” may be tied to a CA murder. Stay tuned. As we found out regarding Fred Brito there is no such thing as a benevolent con artist!
Aug 7 The evidence linking Rockefeller to the disappearance of a California couple is quite compelling see the Boston Globe today
Today a family who hosted a German High school student says they are 100% certain that Rockefeller is Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter who came to them from Bavaria at age 17. The family of Christian in Germany has also identified him. One of the aliases used by Gerhartsreiter links him definitively to the missing/dead CA couple. Reports of Christian personality indicate he had psychopathic traits going back to at least age 17. see Baltimore sun Story
This is terrifying news.
To go through all the work of getting supervised visits, only to have them fail. Terrifying indeed.
Sandra, if you read this, I am so sorry.
My thoughts are with you.
DEar Bird,
I am so glad that you read this and see for yourself how evil these people can be and why all of us here at LF were so concerned about Baby Birdie and the “father” having ANYTHING to do with Birdie. EVER. If you ever weaken in that resolve, come back here and reread this, and read about Dr. Amy CAstillo’s children murdered by their father to “punish” her. These people are SO EVIL and they have no care for the children, even their own children, except as pawns to beat the mother over the head with in a horrible attempt at revenge.
I am so glad that you are NO contact with your P and that Birdie is safe. There are so many people here who care about you and Birdie. (((hugs for Bird and Birdie))))
Birdie, this is exactly why I think you and other parents need to keep things as cordial as humanly possible with your ex. I know you want to keep him as far away from baby bird as possible, but the courts won’t support you on that most times.
And everyone with kids, if you talk down the other parent all the time, eventually the kids might turn on you. If you talk about them like they are great people, you are lying to your kids and also making it easier for the ex to woo your kids away.
The best thing to do is deal with reality, keep thing outwardly cordial if possible, at least polite, and tell your kids the blunt truth about their other parent.
My middle son, who is a lot like his father, just recently said to me, “I decided I’m’ going to believe you instead of Dad, because he always says bad things about you, but you just say honest things about him.” And I didn’t even know they were e-mailing each other!
Kat, I’m not sure how much you have read of Bird’s situation, but they were not married and her P left her 6 months preg to go off with his “soul mate” so I’m not sure the courts would even support his visitation, plus the fact, that he would have to come up with the money to prove it is his kid (expensive) and then fight with a lawyer in court to get visitation rights, etc. so she isn’t in the position to have to (at least at this point) let him have any contact with the child and in truth, it isn’t even likely that he would be able to come up with the money to harass her for “visitation” much less custody.
Having been both the child of a psychopath and the mother of one, I can tell you for sure that I am glad that my P-bio father was out of my life when I was little and my step father was able to adopt me because my P-bio father never made any effort to pay support etc.
Hopefully at some point in time, Bird and Birdie will have a GOOD father in the picture for the Baby Bird and legally the P won’t be able to harass them. I just wish that I had been educated with the “truth” about Ps, as your son has been before I DID encounter mine.
They might not, but in the mean time she had better keep an eye on him, is all I’m saying. My first husband was out of my kids’ lives for many years, then he came back into the picture and took me to court for custody of one of our sons, and WON. These guys don’t like “losing” and they don’t like paying child support. I’m not saying the courts would take his side.. I’m telling her to be wary.
Oh and by the way the case was financed by his new source of money, a girl he had lied to about me. She talked him into taking me to court which he then had to do to save face with her.
Then followed a grief period like I’ve never known.
A few years after this I asked my son how his father was managing to keep his bills paid, as it was unusual for him to have the same phone number for over a year. And my son answered, “It’s called Erin’s (my exes new wife) credit card.”
After she finally left him as well, we found out she was actually a lesbian that was just using my ex for cover so she could keep going to church and have a baby. I guess it was “mutual usury”
Dear Kat,
I agree, they can really be snakes in the grass and you never know where they will pop up their nasty heads. It never hurts to have an eye on them if there are children involved. I just am hopeful that he will leave Bird and her Baby Birdie alone.
“Mutual ursury” That is one that is worthy of Aloha, she always comes up with these great “terms” to apply for the Ps and the things they do! That’s a good one Kat!
They’ve been found!
