ROCKEFELLER "was a German Exchange Student"

Steve Savio, 39, of Berlin, Connecticut, said Thursday he is "100 percent certain" Rockefeller is the same person who boarded with his family in 1980 at age 17 under the name Christian Gerhart Reiter.

"The first pictures I saw of him when he didn't have any glasses on, didn't look anything like him," Savio said told The Associated Press. "But the pictures after he was apprehended, with the glasses, those look just like him."

Savio said Greenwich Police interviewed his family in 1988 about a possible connection between Reiter and the disappearance of Jonathan and Linda Sohus, of San Marino, California. The FBI and German authorities interviewed them this week about Reiter and Rockefeller, he said.
