Boston police believe a little girl who was allegedly abducted by her father Sunday afternoon is now in New York.
An Amber Alert issued Sunday was lifted in Massachusetts Monday morning and Boston police are trying to have one issued in New York State now that they believe the girl has been taken there.
Right now, New York police have issued a "missing child alert," which is one step below an Amber Alert.
Sunday's alert was issued shortly after Reigh Rockefeller, 7, was taken by her father at 12:44 p.m. in the Back Bay. The girl was walking with her father and a social worker during a supervised custodial visit when Clark Rockefeller allegedly knocked down the social worker and took off with his daughter in an SUV driven by a white male.
A backpack and a doll were left behind.
Police believe the SUV, which is described as a black Chevy Tahoe or a GMC Yukon with a Red Sox license plate and several Red Sox stickers on the rear window, is still in the Boston area. A boat owned by Clark Rockefeller is also missing from Rowe's Wharf.
Officials believe Clark is heading to Long Island to pick up his recently purchased 72-foot boat named "Serenity."
Reigh's legal name is Reigh Storrow Boss and she goes by the nickname "Snooks." Reigh lives in London with her mother Sandy.
Sandy and Clark had their divorce finalized last December.
Reigh is white with blond hair and blue eyes. She is about 4 feet tall, weighs 50 pounds and speaks with a British accent. She was last seen wearing a pink and white sun dress, with red shoes and glasses.
Clark Rockefeller is white, in his 50's, 5 feet 6 inches tall, and about 170 pounds. He was last seen wearing khaki pants and a blue Izod shirt. Clark goes by several aliases, including JP Clark Rockerfeller and James Frederick Clark Rockerfeller.
His last known address is 73 Beacon Street in Boston.
If you see them, or the SUV, contact police immediately.
Clark Rockefeller has a warrant out for his arrest for custodial kidnapping, assault and battery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
A spokesman for the famous Rockefeller family says Clark Rockefeller is not a relative, although when asked years ago during a newspaper interview if he was related to the founder of Standard Oil, Clark would not comment.
State Police issue an Amber Alert when they believe a child is in imminent danger.
