Wife of Rockefeller impostor hired detective to look into his background

For more than a decade, Sandra Boss thought she was married to a Rockefeller.
Clark Rockefeller had appeared charming, well-spoken and quirky when he wooed the Harvard Business School student in New York in the early 1990s. Later, as a high-powered business consultant, Boss never questioned her husband’s stories about his famous family and their falling out over an inheritance dispute. Or his claims of being involved with secretive government work. Or even his reasons for keeping the couple’s property, bank accounts and official records out of his name.

It was only when she discovered online that the actress who he had said was his dead mother was still alive that Boss grew suspicious, she told a packed downtown Los Angeles courtroom Tuesday. She said she hired a private investigator to look into the man who was the father of her daughter.
“They couldn’t find out,” she said. “They couldn’t tell me who I was married to.”
