Blood may be key evidence in ‘85 missing-persons case

Daily Bulletin

Frank C. Girardot and Nathan McIntire, Staff Writers

SAN MARINO - Forensic scientists will re-examine blood recovered from the guesthouse of the Lorain Road property where Clark Rockefeller, aka Chris Chichester, once lived, sheriff’s officials said Wednesday.

It may be a key piece of evidence in the 23-year-old missing persons case of John and Linda Sohus and a homicide investigation, officials said.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’ Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said “a bloodstain somewhere in the guesthouse” is being looked at in the probe of Rockefeller and his possible connection to the disappearance of the Sohuses from their San Marino home in February 1985.

“All the evidence that we collected then and all the evidence that we have now will be looked at and re-examined with modern technology,” Whitmore said. “That evidence includes a bloodstain on the carpet.”

At the time of the bloodstain’s discovery in 1994, officials simply said there had been evidence of foul play at the home…

….Clark Rockefeller, who remains in custody in Boston on suspicion of parental abduction, lived in the guesthouse behind John and Linda Sohus’ residence at the time of their disappearance in February 1985. In the 1980s Rockefeller used the alias Chris Chichester, according to his attorney, Stephen Hrones.

Sheriff’s Department officials said Monday that Rockefeller/Chichester is actually Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, who was born in Germany in 1961.

Rockefeller, using the Chichester alias, disappeared from San Marino a few months after the Sohuses vanished. In 1988, he turned up in Greenwich, Conn., using the identity of Hollywood producer Christopher Crowe.

As Crowe, Rockefeller was pulled over while driving the 1985 Nissan pickup truck belonging to John Sohus. He had previously tried to sell it to the son of a minister, officials said.

Once Again The Local Rag Sells Out It’s Readers Right To Know To The Powers That Be In Greenwich

Forget About “Let The Chips Fall Where They May” The Greenwich Police Department Is Giving Special Consideration And Playing Favorites With Anti-Wiffle Ballers.

The Greenwich Police Department should know that youth cases are shielded from the public by law to prevent minors from being stigmatized by the crimes they commit.

QUOTE:

“No child grows up to perfection,” said the mother, who Greenwich Time agreed not to name because it would reveal the identity of the juvenile. “I just want them to know how hurtful adults can be. What kind of lesson are they trying to teach by doing this?”

A Riverside man’s complaints to the town about an unauthorized Wiffle ball field that sprouted on a municipally owned lot next to his property may come back to bite him.

First Selectman Peter Tesei has ordered the Department of Public Works to survey the area near town Lot 5A on Riverside Lane to see if any of the abutting residential properties encroach on the parcel.

The directive comes after several of those who tried to save the ill-fated field from being shut down last month questioned whether a picket fence, bushes and driveway belonging to the homeowner at 100 Riverside Lane are located on town property.

“I think it’s a good idea, in light of all the controversy, to delineate what the boundaries are,” Tesei said…

VivaPop to Bring the All American Soap Box Derby Back to Greenwich benefiting the United Way

Vivapop
Greenwich, CT

Events

Vivapop is excited to bring the All-American Soap Box Derby back to Greenwich for a unique community and family event. Benefiting the United Way of Greenwich and to be held in conjunction with the United Way of Greenwich's 75th Anniversary celebrations this fall, the VivaPop All American Soap Box Derby is already generating great enthusiasm within Greenwich which in turn generates exposure for corporate sponsors and the United Way.

The last Soap Box Derby race in Greenwich was 1984, 24 years ago. It's been called "The Greatest Amateur Racing Event in the World", "The Gravity Grand Prix", and many other expansive euphemisms. But to most of the million plus youngsters who've participated, it's just the "Soap Box Derby." Celebrating its 75th anniversary also, it was christened back in 1933, when a Dayton (Ohio) Daily News photographer encountered three boys racing home-made, engine-less cars down an inclined brick street. 1936 would be a climactic year of growth, establishing the Derby as a national institution. Derby Downs, the first racing complex of its kind, was approved as a WPA project and constructed as promised in a city park near the Akron, OH Municipal Airport. NASCAR and Levi Strauss jeans have recognized the importance of the Soap Box Derby and are national sponsors of the event.

Corporate sponsorships are available. Contact TMK Sports and Entertainment for corporate sponsorship opportunities: 203.273.1166. See www.greenwichsoapboxderby.com for more information.

Race Date: Sunday, September 14, 2008.

Race Location: Greenwich Avenue

When Is Greenwich Time Editor David Warner Going To Realize That You The Local Newspaper Is Supposed To Inform And Not Infuriate It’s Shrinking Readership?

Here’s the HOTTEST STORY of the Summer - now attracting global attention, with hordes of German, Austrian & Swiss press (among other European media) arriving in Boston to cover the Crockafellah Case - and local Greenwich Time reporters are busy reading the Lands’ End Fall catalog. WAKE UP!

It’s Not That The Greenwich Time Reporters Are Too Lazy To Go Out And Cover The Story

It’s That They Just Don’t Give A Damn

It’s Up To Citizen Journalists And Local Bloggers To Step Up To The Plate And Crack Greeneich Crockafellah Story Wide Open For The Greenwich Time

1) ”JOHN DOE” (aka Christopher Chichester, Christopher Crowe, Christopher Montbatten, Clark Rockefeller, etc.) arrived in the Tri-State area sometime around May 1985. Using numerous aliases, “JOHN DOE” reportedly lived & frequented & worked in the vicinity of Greenwich CT in the late 1980s. Investigators said at the time that “JOHN DOE” was a con man who often “surfaces in affluent neighborhoods and mingles in social circles by making friends with wealthy influential people. He often volunteers for good causes like raising money for charity,” a sheriff’s press release said at the time. For example, he was seen at the Indian Harbor Yacht Club, and probably attended a highly-regarded Protestant church.

2) Among numerous residences occupied under a variety of pretexts & aliases, “CROWE” may have lived near/on LOCH LANE at some point in the late 80s. In this period, he reportedly drove a ‘65 Chevy and perhaps garaged another vehicle - a WHITE PICKUP TRUCK (1984? model) - somewhere in the Tri-State area. LA Police are especially interested to know anything about this vehicle, where it was parked or garaged, etc.

3) Please examine the WANTED! poster and if you have any detailed information about this individual, his whereabouts or activities in Connecticut between 1985-89, please contact LASD police immediately, at (323)890-5500 to speak with Sgts Bobby Taylor or Timothy Miley regarding Case# 094-00061-3199-011.

Himes Wins in a Landslide

Himes declares victory for right to face Shays

Greenwich resident Jim Himes declared victory over a pesky contender Tuesday night and made it clear that his ultimate goal is to unseat 10-term Republican Chris Shays in November.

Himes Looks Forward to Match Up With Shays

Democratic candidate says Washington not working for middle class

Jim Himes won the Democratic primary tonight, setting up a face off with 21-year incumbent Chris Shays in the fall. Himes issued the following statement in response to the news of his win:

“This campaign is about changing Washington,” said Himes. “For too long, Washington has listened to big oil and big pharma while ignoring the needs of our families. While Washington has been running up deficits and fighting wars we didn’t need while, the American dream was been slipping out of reach. In Congress, I will bring new energy for the American dream. This fall, voters will have a choice between the failed policies of the past, and opportunity for the middle class.”
