BOSTON - A judge has ordered the man who calls himself Clark Rockefeller held without bail in Boston, denying a request for lower bail by citing the defendant's history of deception.
The unusual move by Superior Judge D. Lloyd Macdonald came after Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter's attorney argued many murder defendants get lower bail than the $50 million bail set by a magistrate this week.
Gerhartsreiter has pleaded not guilty to charges related to the alleged kidnapping of his daughter in July in Boston. He was arrested in August in Baltimore.
Authorities say Gerhartsreiter has used numerous aliases. He is considered a person of interest but has not been charged in the disappearance of a California couple in the 1980s.
