A Baltimore real estate agency helped police capture Clark Rockefeller, who allegedly abducted his daughter in Boston and posed as a real estate mogul and a member of New York’s Rockefeller clan. Rockefeller told Obsidian Realty in Baltimore he was moving from Chile to the Maryland city, and Obsidian arranged for him to stay in rental housing as he searched for a home and gave him access to their office to use the Internet. Rockefeller was arrested on August 1, after an Obsidian employee saw on the news that he was wanted. New York area police and the U.S. Coast Guard had searched for Rockefeller, who owned a 72-foot catamaran docked in Long Island and hobnobbed at New York’s Metropolitan and Knickerbocker clubs.
