Send Kris and Rob a Text Message!FROM THE VAULT: Christian Gerhartsreiter. Or was it Clark Rockefeller: The Con Man Who Killed He said he was a Rockefeller…He said he was a Yale grad, a Wall Street genius…But what Christian Gerhartsreiter really was… was a killer.In this shocking episode of Hitched 2 Homicide, we pull back the curtain on one of the most outrageous imposters in modern American history. From his small-town roots in Bavaria to the exclusive country clubs of Boston, Christian Gerhartsreiter lied, schemed, and ultimately murdered to protect the fantasy he built.This is the bizarre and chilling story of the man who called himself Clark Rockefeller.

It is always a thrill to have Frank on the show, and once again we get great true crime insights from both Frank and Burl. who give us preview of their new true crime book coming out this year.****Best-selling author Frank C. Girardot has been called the "Demon dog of true crime" by none other than Black Dahlia author James Ellroy. Praise for his writing has come from authors as varied as Walter Kirn and Michael Fleeman.His books have ranged from "Name Dropper", a chronicle on the bizarre antics of a murdering imposter who called himself Clark Rockefeller to "Betrayal in Blue" a look at cocaine dealing cops in 1980s New York City, which was co-authored by Burl Barer and Ken Eurell, one of the actual cops.In all of his writing, Girardot's ability to interview complicated characters like drug kingpin Adam Diaz, German imposter Christian Gerhartsreiter and serial arsonist John Orr, add a depth to his story telling that is often lacking in police procedurals masking as true crime. In each of his books, Girardot has displayed a unique ability to locate long-hidden public records and distill narratives from complex court records that brings his stories to life. Girardot's career in journalism began as a copyboy with the now-defunct Los Angeles Herald Examiner. As a reporter he covered stories as fascinating as the O.J. Simpson murder trial and as complex as the mistaken gang execution of three trick-or-treaters on Halloween 1993 in the Los Angeles area.

BECOMING CLARK ROCKEFELLER by Frank C. Girardot Jr. Spans Three Decades of Intrigue and Unravels Two High-profile Crimes • WildBlue Press True Crime Website BECOMING CLARK ROCKEFELLER: Murder, Love, Deception, and the Con Man Behind It All delves into the life of a young immigrant entangled in a multi-generational murder investigation ensnaring some of the wealthiest Americans. Posing as bogus aristocrat Clark Rockefeller, he duped the affluent, leaving a trail of deception and national headlines in his wake. Yet the story would grow even more sinister. In 1985, Linda Sohus, a talented, outgoing artist, and her husband John, a computer geek with dreams of space, mysteriously vanished from their quiet San Marino, California life. But why? Were they on a secret government mission, chasing elusive dreams, or had something terrible happened to them? The police investigated while the public and media speculated. But all leads came to a dead end, and eventually, the mystery faded into the shadows. Then, in 1994, a shocking backyard discovery reignited the case. Bones were unearthed, revealing a convoluted tale of murder, lust, and trickery. At its center, the same audacious grifter, whose real name was Christian Gerhartsreiter, who had conned his way into high society as Clark Rockefeller. In this thrilling true crime masterpiece, tenacious investigative journalist and bestselling author Frank C. Girardot Jr. unveils this transcontinental, decades-long mystery with interviews from witnesses, court documents, and exclusive insights from the con man himself. Joe's father, now standing in the hole, began to pull the bag away. He peered into the shadows and saw bones. He grabbed a piece of rebar and hoisted a skull aloft.“I found the plastic bag,” he recalled later that day. “I thought it was dog bones. The head, with some hair, was in the bag.”Upon closer examination, Perez realized the bulldozer had unearthed a human skull. There were other bones in the bag too: A piece of shoulder; bits of spine. Two similar bags lay nearby. Someone called the cops.

Con man Christian Gerhartsreiter had many identities - but his most famous was "Clark Rockefeller,” a black sheep relative from the iconic American family. For over 20 years, he duped rich people from coast to coast to share in their privilege and their money. But in 2008, he finally got caught in his web of deceit. Investigators would soon realize that his dirty crimes not only included impersonations but were much darker than anyone ever imagined.

A German born foreign exchange student, Christian Gerhartsreiter, conned his way into a U.S. citizenship and it's elite society. When John and Linda Sohus got in the way of Christian's plans, they suddenly disappeared under strange circumstances. Keeping just ahead of law enforcement, Christian managed to out run his crimes for 23 years before his finale when he kidnapped his own daughter while living under his most infamous alias, Clark Rockefeller.  Join us as Elysia details how this seemingly delusional con artist nearly got away with murder and Savannah finds fulfillment in creating the illusion that Christian was a die hard Green Bay Packers fan.   Don't forget to leave us the weekly emoji!

For three decades, the man born Christian Gerhartsreiter claimed to be someone else. He posed as a British baronet, a cardiologist in Las Vegas, a Hollywood producer, a bond broker in New York, and, finally, as a member of the famous Rockefeller family.Gerhartstreiter was arrested in 2008 after a weeklong FBI hunt for him and his daughter, whom he abducted during a scheduled custody visit. Within days of his arrest, Rockefeller's true identity was discovered and word spread that he was the primary suspect in an unsolved 1985 murder in California.SOURCESThe Man in the Rockefeller Suit by Mark Sealhttps://www.npr.org/2011/07/10/137624164/30-year-con-from-german-kid-to-rockefeller-scionhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/jan/18/clark-rockefeller-murder-chargehttps://www.oxygen.com/dateline-secrets-uncovered/crime-news/christian-gerhartsreiter-convicted-of-john-sohus-murderThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5307439/advertisement

This is the second part of a 2 part series.  He said he was a screen actor, a film director, an art connoisseur, a physicist, a seafaring captain, a financier, and a member of the English aristocracy.  The truth was, he was none of those things, with possibly the exception of an actor.  In a sense, that is what he spent nearly his entire adult life doing - acting.  But it wasn’t ever for film or for television.  No, it wasn’t that kind of acting.  The kind of acting this man was somewhat masterful at has another name - imposter.  He lived an inauthentic life as a pretender, a charlatan, a grifter.  He was drawn to all the finer things in life, the high society, money, wealth, status...the more bombastic, the better.  But he would not be made to earn it on his own.  He jumped from country to country, state to state, city to city and name to name in order to con, deceive, cheat, and double-cross anybody taken by his charm.  And he would go to any lengths to ensure his secrets were kept - even murder.  This is the Tale of the Rockefeller that Never Was…

There’s the short con and there’s the long game. The short con is quick, over in the blink of an eye while the long con can take days or even weeks. Then there’s Christian Gerhartsreiter.

Las historias de quienes llevan una doble vida son atrevidas y desconcertantes. ¿Qué mueve a una persona a intentar convertirse en otra? ¿Es simplemente el beneficio económico ? ¿La demostración de su ingenio? ¿O hay una razón más profunda? En un momento u otro, todos hemos fantaseado con adquirir una nueva identidad, pero, en el caso de grandes impostores como Ferdinand Demara, Christian Gerhartsreiter, alias Clark Rockefeller, y Anna Anderson, sus fantasías, en cierto sentido, se hicieron realidad. ¿Cuándo se vuelve borrosa la línea que separa la suplantación de la transformación? ¿Es posible que alguien que finge ser otra persona se convierta en ella al menos en su mente?

Best-selling author Frank C. Girardot has been called the "Demon dog of true crime" by none other than Black Dahlia author James Ellroy. Praise for his writing has come from authors as varied as Walter Kirn and Michael Fleeman. His books have ranged from "Name Dropper", a chronicle on the bizarre antics of a murdering imposter who called himself Clark Rockefeller to "Betrayal in Blue" a look at cocaine dealing cops in 1980s New York City, which was co-authored by Burl Barer and Ken Eurell, one of the actual cops. In all of his writing, Girardot's ability to interview complicated characters like drug kingpin Adam Diaz, German imposter Christian Gerhartsreiter and serial arsonist John Orr, add a depth to his story telling that is often lacking in police procedurals masking as true crime. In each of his books, Girardot has displayed a unique ability to locate long-hidden public records and distill narratives from complex court records that brings his stories to life. Girardot's career in journalism began as a copyboy with the now-defunct Los Angeles Herald Examiner. As a reporter he covered stories as fascinating as the O.J. Simpson murder trial and as complex as the mistaken gang execution of three trick-or-treaters on Halloween 1993 in the Los Angeles area. Most recently, Girardot wrote a weekly column on the 2016 election for The Hill. Born in Texas in 1960, Richard Ramirez was an American serial killer who killed at least 14 people and raped and tortured at least two dozen more, mostly during the spring and summer of 1985. After developing epilepsy as a child, he became a heavy drug user and cultivated an interest in Satanism, which became a calling card for investigators at his crime scenes. Apprehended in August 1985, Ramirez was sentenced to death at the conclusion of his trial in 1989. He spent the remainder of his days at California's San Quentin Prison, before dying from cancer on June 7, 2013, at age 53. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/burl-barer/support

In 1995, Sandra Boss married who she thought was “Clark Rockefeller.” What she didn’t know was that his name was actually Christian Gerhartsreiter, and he held within him a slew of secrets, violent tendencies and increasingly erratic behavior. A wild divorce settlement and kidnapping would send Gerhartsreiter on the run. 

Born in Germany in the 1960s, Christian Gerhartsreiter had dreams of going to America...conning his way when necessary to get there. He would assume a number of identities, including an exchange student and a long-lost relative of European nobility. But his greatest deception was yet to come.

Stirbt der Berufsstand der Spionage-Omas aus, weil Apps bald die Nachbarschaftswache übernehmen? Paulina und Laura fordern in dieser Folge von „Mordlust - Verbrechen und ihre Hintergründe“ den Erhalt der Türspioninnen. Chefarzt Schmidt ist angetan von dem Oberarzt Gert Postel, der ihm von einem Kollegen vorgeschlagen wird. Dabei weiß er nicht, dass der, der gerade die Empfehlung an ihn ausspricht selbst Herr Postel ist. Ein Hochstapler, der sich als Gott in Weiß über Jahre einen Namen macht - um nach seiner eigenen Aussage den Tod seiner Mutter zu rächen. Weil er für diesen Abend keinen Tisch in einem Restaurant bekommt, trifft Christian eine Entscheidung. Er muss jemand werden, den man nie wieder ablehnen kann: Ein Rockefeller. Dies ist die letzte Rolle, in die er schlüpft. Sein Täuschungsspiel gipfelt in einer medienwirksamen Entführung und einer Hetzjagd bei der die Ermittler auf eine Leiche stoßen. Außerdem diskutieren Paulina und Laura über die Faszination der Hochstapelei, warum niemand auf die Opfer schaut und warum die Betrüger ihre eigenen Geschichten irgendwann selbst glauben. Und ihr erfahrt wie Lauras Oma in einen dreisten Schwindel verwickelt wurde. Diese Folge ist Teil von funk

Saturday Night Live writer and hilarious comedian, Anna Drezen, takes a break from 30 Rock to stop by the studio and talk to us about the amazing con-artist, Clark Rockefeller. aka Christopher Chichester. aka Christian Gerhartsreiter. aka Chip Smith. This guy has had so many names. And tinted glasses, and the audacity to give David Berkowitz’s social security number on a job application! (He’s the Son of Sam.) The balls! Anna, go put this in one of your skits for SNL. Anyway, we’ve got 17 aliases, 3 hilarious comedians, and 3 dogs in the More Banana podcast studio today. (Our producer, Cait, calls it Kill Room Studios. Should we be concerned?  If we go missing, check the Kill Room!)   One of the common themes we see with all of these scammers is that they have a crazy amount of gusto and confidence and people just bow down to that without verifying stuff. Indeed, a scammer is also referred to as a con artist, or con-man, which is short for “confidence man.” The deeper we get into these scams, the more we realize this to be true! It’s crazy that every subject of our podcast, every person we focus on, is super, super super confident. That’s what it takes to be a good trickster, we guess! Clark Rockefeller was so confident that he deserved to live in that lady’s house in California that he killed her kids and buried them in the backyard! Call it delusional, call it crazy, but he was, over everything else, absolutely certain that no one else would call him out on his bullshit. And that’s exactly how he got hired on Wall Street, too. He just walked down to the Financial District with a sharp jawline and a fake name and the Son of Sam’s social security number and knew that no one would question him! It’s wild.    As a woman, it’s much tougher to have that kind of confidence. We’re taught to second guess ourselves,and that something isn’t happening, even when it is. That’s what gaslighting is. When you call someone out on something and they’re like, “I’m not crazy, you’re crazy and here’s why!” Oh! We forgot to tell you this. We tweeted it from our account (@scamwowpodcast), but maybe you missed it because it seems like people don’t use Twitter anymore. Anyway, the New York Post reported over the weekend that Louis C.K. gave Sarma Melngailis an STD! Can you believe?! There were some emails leaked between the two of them and, MAN, were they gaslighty! Louis C.K. was like, “I never told you I was clean. No one is truly clean in this day and age.” Which is SOME BULLSHIT because, um, YES, you absolutely CAN be clean. All you have to is get a test and it will tell you and then get your ailments treated. Oh, in case you don’t recall, Sarma is the former vegan chef and owner of One Lucky Duck and Pure Food and Wine who was sort of brainwashed (we think) into giving all her money to a random guy and her businesses eventually folded and she ended up in a hotel room eating pizza. It was wild. We have an episode on it.   Anyway, things are a trash fire.

Kidnapping! Murder! Swindling Rich People! Fancy Art Shenanigans! This one has it all. Christian Gerhartsreiter, a man eventually known as "Clark Rockefelle," lived a life of deception; the FBI called it "the longest-running con in FBI history." After ingratiating himself into New York society and marrying a top banker with a Harvard MBA, "Clark" settled into his new luxurious life. The two had a daughter before they divorced after 13 years. When his wife won custody, a distraught Clark abducted his beloved daughter. Ironically, it was the search for the missing child that not only exposed a web of lies and multiple identities, but a double murder committed decades earlier .  Check out [our Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/TrueCrimeObsessed) where you'll find mini bonus episodes (2 there now!), monthly bonus full episodes (first one coming this week!), exclusive videos (we're gonna watch Unsolved Mysteries and talk about it) and more!

Kath and Pat discuss Christian Gerhartsreiter and the Clark Rockefeller scam. 

Concoctions, or confabulations.  In the end, they amount to nothing more than lies.  But as we all know, lies have a way of catching up to you.   But who in their right mind lies about being a member of one of the most powerful families in the world?  This guy.
