Admin says it has to do with cookies in the system but I've done what they suggested and still not working properly. It started when we switched to the new server. I'm on aol so.. it has the most problems with this. I'm hoping it clears up soon or I won't have any hair to pull! LOL
 
Yes Knoxx, thank you. I can't get the videos to play for me though. I'm also having trouble staying logged in but I'm still reading!!


I've had that problem also. I've also found that the forum loads faster for me when I'm logged out.
 
Yes, I saw this when the Amber Alert first came out. I am in MA and The Mont, Whartons estate, was in the news quite a bit recently as it was facing foreclosure. Sandra Boss was involved with saving The Mont from foreclosure.

East Coast hi...
 
Capoly, misery loves company! Sorry you're having the same problems.

You are welcome Knoxx! Beats having your emails overflowing.

This is such a fascinating story. I hope that they are able to track down everything this guy has done, every alias and every dirty deed he may have done.
 
What do you Friday news will say?

Seems like there is a blackout with anything about "Snooks and Sandra or is that just me thinking it?
 
I think that the news is concentrating on who he is. Sandra and her daughter are known, and are trying to get their lives back to normal. I suspect we'll hear more about them when he goes to a trial.
 
The man was truly amazing in his ability to get people to trust him. This RE company gave him access to their computers. And, somehow, he got the code to the office alarm.


"Mr Rockefeller recently paid cash for a $450,000 (£230,000) carriage house in Baltimore and told the seller that he planned to live there with his daughter. John Day, the seller, told The Boston Globethat Mr Rockefeller used the name Chip Smith.

“I met him like a month and a half ago, when we were doing a walk-through in the house, and it’s funny, he mentioned that he was bringing his daughter here to live. So I guess he thought he was not going to get caught,” he said.

Bruce Boswell, who sold Mr Rockefeller a dilapidated 26ft (8m) catamaran for $10,000 at the start of the summer, toldThe Baltimore Sunthat he claimed to be the owner of a property company in Baltimore called Obsidian Realty.

To conclude the boat sale, Mr Rockefeller took Mr Boswell into Obsidian’s office after hours by typing in a code to the alarm. Mr Rockefeller said that his name was Chip MacLaughlin but he wanted to buy the boat in the name of Chip Smith because he “didn’t like the name MacLaughlin”. The owner of Obsidian is called Harry MacLaughlin, but a company representative said that he was not the phoney Rockefeller.

Julie Gochar, the managing partner of Obsidian, said that she contacted police after recognising Mr Rockefeller as the man she knew as Chip Smith. Mr Rockefeller had got in touch with the property agency last year, saying that he intended to buy a two-bedroom or three-bedroom house for himself and his daughter. The firm arranged for him to stay in temporary rental housing and allowed him to use the internet in its offices before selling him the carriage house, where he was arrested on Saturday"

Scratch one name from the list of alias's!
 
People see what they want to see. If he talks a good talk and has the cash to back it up.. comes across as personable, people will accept him. It might take awhile for him to weasel his way into society in some sections of the country but he's done it several times already. He probably would have continued as long as he didn't get caught.

MM, since we don't have an actual name for this guy, I have just been calling him "alias man". LOL, he isn't real, he is just an alias.

Alias man isn't the first to have wormed his way into the money crowd with false credentials is he? It always seems weird to me. The people who have the most to lose, the people who are leaders in companies, the people who have the resources to run checks don't do so. Someone gives them a promenient name, claims a distant relationship or a close friendship and they are accepted- not verified.

It kinda amazes me. He worked his way into the money crowd on the west coast, then again on the east coast. And in this day and age he never crossed paths from the west to the east? Never ran into old friends or acquaintances? This guy was eccentric, nerdy and also sounds obnoxious. It isn't like people he used to know wouldn't remember him. Those are the kind that stand out in memory.

One thing I am surprised about. We aren't hearing that Alias man took John's identity after John allegedly disappeared. He could have most likely ran around Europe for years, using his income for years before getting caught.
 
Clark Rockefeller probe points to Germany

The web of lies spun by the man who calls himself Clark Rockefeller may be close to unraveling, as a school transcript possibly linked to him leads not to any grand American, British or European lineage, but to a small resort town in Germany’s Bavarian Alps.

A 1978 10th-grade report card obtained by the Herald yesterday for a Christian Gerhartsreiter of Siegsdorf, who would now be 47, an apparent German national the FBI suspects is accused Boston kidnapper Clark Rockefeller, suggests the youth described by acquaintances as a snooty, self-aggrandizing exchange student was a mediocre scholar.

LOL, according to the attorney his client doesn't remember anything about his life before the 90's.

Ya'll do realize that if he is determined to be German, that will get the Consulate involved in the rest of this mess. And I don't think the Germans like us, lol.

LOL, he wanted to work in the film industry when he first arrived in the US

Family glad oddball Cristian Gerhartsreiter hit the road
Conn. townspeople leery of German visitor

Prior to moving in with the Savios, Gerhartsreiter said he had lived with a Connecticut couple he had met while they were vacationing in Germany, Savio said.

The charming teen exchanged addresses with the couple. Months later he showed up on their doorstep looking for a place to stay, Savio said.

He then moved in with the Savios - until he locked little Maria Savio out of the house in the dead of winter, Steve Savio said.

“My sister was scared of him,” Savio said. “I just want to make sure this clown doesn’t get out.”

Savio said Gerhartsreiter would call his mother Gwendolyn for years after he left Connecticut to “brag” about his success in various enterprises, including film.

Silence keeps cops scrambling for clues in Clark Rockefeller case
And the geek who’s become Suffolk county’s latest celebrity inmate has continued to shroud himself in a curious fog. He calmly shunned the California cops who traveled cross-country to talk to him about the disappearance of a newlywed couple some 23 years ago. But then, what else was he going to do? Invite them into his cell for a cup of coffee?

Jailhouse sources describe a strange, enigmatic little man who tends to bury his nose in a book and keep largely to himself. Even with something as ominous as a possible double homicide hanging over his head, Clark Whatshisname seems absolutely indifferent.

Case of Clark Rockefeller, Accused of Kidnapping Daughter, Suggests Man of Many Faces

Police could have a real-life "Talented Mr. Ripley" on their hands — mystery man, multiple identities, a taste for high society — if their theories of his web of lies and false identities prove true.

Rockefeller and his attorney have been mum on who he is, who he has claimed to be and where he comes from. Rockefeller refuses to speak to detectives from Los Angeles and Boston or to the media, and defense lawyer Stephen Hrones says his client won't start spilling the beans any time soon.
 
By this time next week, Cristian, Christopher, Chip, Clark Whatshisname will most likely have charmed his fellow guests at the Nashua Street Jail as skillfully as he once wormed his way into the hearts of those Back Bay blowhards at the Algonquin Club.


Right now, the only way Clark/Christopher/Cristian spends any serious time in jail is if his ex comes back from London to enlighten us about their bizarre life together. Sandra Boss once bought her ex-husband’s silence, along with custody of their daughter, for a million bucks. I’m guessing the faker knows she will never testify about how she was snookered by the man who stole their beloved Snooks.
