CA CA - Linda Sohus, 28, San Marino, 8 February 1985

I keep waiting to read the headline:

Dog-cloning woman with Mormon sex slave also identified as 'Clark Rockefeller'

Birth certificate zeroes in on Rockefeller’s true identity

germany like other european nations in the european union do not allow america to use the death penalty on non american who come from europe that includes terrorist cases.

Never heard that one before. Do you have a citation on that? Thanks.

San Marino police said Friday they again plan to search the backyard of a Lorain Road home where human remains were found 14 years ago.
San Marino police Lt. Steve Johnson said investigators will use equipment that can X-ray through concrete when they search the property where John and Linda Sohus were living when they disappeared in February 1985.
Human bones, believed by coroner's investigators to be those of John Sohus, were unearthed in the backyard in May 1994 by workers installing a swimming pool. Linda Sohus' remains unaccounted for, officials said. Police

I don't think that's correct... They may (like France) have a policy on returning a fugitive to the US who is facing the death penalty, but, they cannot tell us how to try and judge those already in the US.

Take, for instance, the case of the mexican immigrant Texas just executed...

if a person in britain is facing extridation to america for crimes like hacking to murder depending on if the charges and the punishment ends up with the death penalty britain would refuse america request for that person to be handover as britain do not and will not except the death penalty as it is seen to be wrong in the eyes of the british govenment and also britain like all european members from italy to spain france germany denmark portugal and ireland and the rest do the same as britain as this is a policy of the european union and it members not to allow european facing trail in america to face the death penalty but if that european person now live in america then that would be something different as it would only mean that person could request the help of the country he or she was born in for help.

The issue over foreign countries and the ability to use the DP is only valid if extradition is involved. They will refuse to return them to the US if the DP is involved. But if the suspect is caught in the US, he can only request that his home country use diplomacy to help him evade the DP. And that often doesn't work.

Joanie, great insight into why Linda might not have been buried with John. That was the part that I couldn't figure out if she had been killed.

BTW WELCOME to WS!

I find it hard to believe though that Christian G would leave the States. He was so determined to be here and had to fear that leaving might expose him. Though I am now recalling that I read somewhere that he did have a passport in the name of Smith or Brown?

It would make sense that after the murders that alias man may have left the country out of fear of being discovered as a murderer. And there is a time period that his whereabouts haven't been determined. Maybe he went to Europe, but he could just as easily went to Canada.

With Sandra, alias man did leave the country frequently for vacations and such.

Just In: LA authorities link Clark Rockefeller to Calif. case

“They are confident this is the same person,” said Lt. Paul Becker, who runs the unsolved homicide division for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.

Joanie,

Any idea as to previous owners/residents of the house Linda and John lived in? Did they own that house? And if they did, since it's been said repeatedly that the San Marino area is one of "old" money, how did they fit in there?

No, I don't know, but am trying to make contact with someone who might. Also, if they owned the house, how did it sell later?

How do we know this? I thought he did not have a passport. I figured this is one of the reasons Sandy Boss moved to London - hard for him to go there.

John was adopted by Ruth “Didi” and Bob Sohus. Bob moved out after the couple’s divorce, while John stayed in the San Marino house with his stepmother. His wife would later move in.

---------------
After Didi's death the house was sold, that's probably because any other remaining family members could not/would not pay for the taxes on the property and didn't wish to live there.

If there were no other family members the county/state would see that it was sold.

Thanks! I found this forum while looking for info on the Smiley Face Killers (my son is off to college and lives by a major river in CA, but he doesn't drink and isn't athletic..whew!It scared me because he told me about a young man who drowned in the river, who was in a different class, but apparently it was witnessed by his friends) This forum has kept me up far into the night, many times! Then, staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep...

Anyway, if Rockefeller killed Linda first, he must have had a very short time to get rid of her.

If the friend of Rockefeller who came and played a board game with him, in the apartment/back house, is correct... and the back yard was dug up... she might be there. But the other alternative is taking her out to the wilderness and getting rid of her. We need to check for bodies that were found in the surrounding area in the following years, that were unidentified. She probably didn't have fingerprints on file, and DNA wasn't used at that time.

I just don't believe that she was alive when John was dead, and hiding or being fooled by Rockefeller. She wasn't guillible or naive. She wouldn't have left the country without John, fleeing and leaving her cats to an uncertain fate, nor would she have written cheery postcards if she had been hiding out. She wouldn't have looked for a job (presumably in the states) if she were hiding. She would have gotten word to someone she trusted, to take care of her cats, or that she was in trouble. It would have been much more difficult for him to talk her into leaving the US if she didn't have John to discuss it with. And if he did get her out of the country, she would have been a liability to him when she figured out what he had done. It just doesn't make sense. Much more likely that she never left her home alive, that John was killed after that, and that Rockefeller took a little time to gather what he could, possibly cash a check of theirs, sell off or steal some of their valuables, then pack up the truck and leave. His confidence that he couldn't be traced is shown by his use of the truck for an extended period of time.

Welcome to WS Joanie! I believe that both John and Linda were killed at the same time. Her body has to be somewhere close by.

Whoops, I was thinking that an article I posted yesterday was out of the UK, but it wasn't. So scratch that. Still, he could easily have gone to Canada as that time period is unaccounted for.

 

[Joanie]

He must have had a passport when he was 17, to get into this country. It would have been in his original name. How hard is it to renew? What papers do you need to show? He may have carried that passport for years, as an escape. Fleeing to Europe would make sense. His last wife would not have known about it, if he even still had it, but he may have had it in 1985.

[mollymalone]

You have a point Joanie. He may have kept that passport current or gotten a new one along with his green card in the new name. I saw it reported that he had held one in the name of Michael Brown.
