A preliminary hearing for a man who allegedly posed as a member of the Rockefeller family and who is suspected in the 1985 killing of a San Marino man and the disappearance of his wife is set for January 18.
“Clark Rockefeller”, a 50-year-old German national whose real name is Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, returned to Los Angeles County in July after being charged with killing John Sohus. Gerhartsreiter had previously been in prison in Massachusetts for kidnapping his own daughter.
The criminal complaint alleged that Gerhartsreiter killed Sohus by using a “blunt object” and may have had something to do with the disappearance of Sohus’ wife.
Gerhartsreiter, who was renting a guesthouse from the couple, disappeared after the couple went missing in February 1985.
He faces up to 26 years to life in prison if convicted of first-degree murder.
