The Clark Rockefeller saga and a profile of San Marino

There's tons of news out there about the man suspected of having a link to the 1985 disappearance of a San Marino couple, and possibly a bag of bones that was buried in a Lorain Road backyard. First the Boston Herald. Gotta love the lede -- and all the great adjectives:

Investigators plan to grill bogus blue blood Clark Rockefeller to see whether the fugitive accused of snatching his daughter is the same "person of interest" linked to the apparent 1985 murder of a young man in a toney southern California enclave.

There's also this story by Herald reporter Jessica Van Sack that reveals Clark Rockefeller/Chris Chichester/Chris Mountbatten had a new identity prepared in Baltimore, where he would transform into "Chip" Smith. Gotta wonder about Chip Smith...doesn't sound like a blueblood name to me...

Then there's the stories like this one from the U.K. where Rockefeller's attorney takes a stand on his client's behalf.

Finally since I'm heavily touting the Herald this morning, their profile of "toney" San Marino is pretty funny, especially this passage and quote:

All of which now has the residents of San Marino - an old-money city of less than 13,000 residents where brown lawns and self-service gas stations are forbidden by law - gossiping like trailer-park hairdressers.

"There are no wild nights in San Marino," said Shirley Donovan of the San Marino-Pasadena Newcomers Club. "Basically, San Marino is just a beautiful, quiet, elegant place where nothing much seems to happen, but when it does, everybody knows about it."
