Rockefeller held without bail in child kidnapping

BOSTON — The father accused of kidnapping his 7-year-old daughter during a supervised visit in Boston has been ordered held without bail as authorities continue to try to figure out exactly who he is.

The man known as Clark Rockefeller was arraigned in Boston Municipal Court on Tuesday after being flown back from Baltimore, where he was captured Saturday. Rockefeller is charged with felony parental kidnapping, assault and battery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

Suffolk District Attorney Dan Conley said investigators are "stymied" in their attempts to figure out Rockefeller's true identity. He has at least a half-dozen aliases and has told authorities he doesn't remember his history.

Rockefeller's attorney said he did not "kidnap" his own daughter and denied a report in The Boston Globe that Rockefeller's fingerprints may have been linked to a California slaying.
