Clark Rockefeller Gets Back Some Of His Gold

BOSTON (AP) ― The man who calls himself Clark Rockefeller will get back about half of the gold coins and cash seized by authorities after he was arrested for allegedly kidnapping his 7-year-old daughter.

Prosecutors and attorneys for Rockefeller signed an agreement Monday to turn over 160 cold coins -- worth about $140,000 -- and $6,480 in cash so he can pay for his defense. Both sides said Rockefeller got the money from a divorce settlement with his ex-wife.

Authorities say Rockefeller is actually German citizen Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter (GAYR'-hahrtz-ry-tur), a German national who has been labeled a "person of interest" in the 1985 disappearance of a San Marino, Calif., couple.

He has pleaded not guilty to parental kidnapping.
