Police Searching For Girl Allegedly Snatched By Father

UPDATED: 12:22 pm EDT July 30, 2008

BOSTON, Massachusetts --

The search is widening for a 7-year-old girl who police say was snatched by her father in Boston.

NewsCenter 5's Gail Huff reported that the woman who said she drove the pair to New York City
claims she had no idea about the alleged plot.

Now, sightings of Reigh and Clark Rockefeller have been reported in Delaware, leading authorities
to question if Clark Rockefeller's alleged boating plans were all a hoax to throw police off his trail.


Aileen Ang, 30, of Ipswich, Mass., was one of the drivers who helped Rockefeller, 48, flee the
city after allegedly kidnapping his daughter Reigh during a supervised visit near Boston's Public
Garden Sunday.

Ang is an out-of-work financial services professional who Rockefeller reportedly paid $500 to
make the trip from Boston to mid-town Manhattan.

"He has his identity for excess of a decade," Boston Police Superintendent Bruce Holloway said.

"Under the circumstances, we are concerned for her safety."

Boston police also found the missing sport utility they believe was used to help Rockefeller flee from the
Marlborough Street area after allegedly grabbing Reigh and taking off. The vehicle is owned by a Darryl Hopkins, 54.

The hired limousine driver told police Rockefeller paid him several thousand dollars to drive him to Massachusetts
General Hospital, where Rockefeller hailed a taxi cab.

Rockefeller then met up with Ang, who said she drove them to New York's Grand Central Station. He told her he was
going to Bermuda on a newly purchased yacht called Serenity, which he'd bought with $300,000 in gold bullion.

Neither the limo driver nor Ang are currently facing charges.

Rockefeller was divorced from his wife, Sandra Lynn Boss, 41, in December 2007 and was on his first supervised
visit with his daughter since she and her mother moved to London, where Boss works for the global management
consulting company McKinsey & Co.

The search for Rockefeller and his daughter, involving both the FBI and the U.S. Coast Guard, is now focusing
on Long Island and the Smyrna, Del., area, where a state worker on her lunch break Tuesday insists she saw
the pair in front of a car dealership.

Some family acquaintances in the Cornish, N.H., area, where the Rockefellers lived in an 1889 mansion, said they always
thought Clark Rockefeller was a little strange.

"Her biological father is a little weird. He may try to sue me for that, but he is weird," Alma Gilbert-Smith said.

Representatives for John D. Rockefeller family said Clark Rockefeller is not related to the wealthy American clan.

Authorities said Clark Rockefeller called himself a scientist, but did not appear to have a job or a Social Security
number, although officials at the exclusive Algonquin Club said he was a director there but dropped his
membership a few months ago.
