In 2008, Gerhartstreiter, then claiming to be Clark Rockefeller, made headlines when he abducted his 7-year-old daughter. The Rockefeller family made it clear that he was not a part of their family. What he was, according to police, was a killer on the run. “48 Hours" correspondent Erin Moriarty reports. This classic "48 Hours" episode last aired on 3/22/2014.
