He's murdered, at least one he's convicted of now, today. But I covered a case, his kidnapping, before he was indicted for murder. It's like a crazy story. There's been a book about him, maybe a couple documentaries. I don't know if there's been a movie about him, but Clark Rockefeller, his real name is Christian Carl Gerhardt's writer.

He's one of my favorite defendants because I was like, he became like an art expert, but he was dealing in fraudulent art, like fake art. He had this Harvard Business School educated woman fooled for a decade because when he kidnapped their child and the FBI was questioning her, they're like, where does your husband keep his money? Where's his bank? He says his money's tied up in family issues.

I don't know. I don't know. Well, what's his social security number? I don't know. What about his driver's license? Do you have his driver's license number? No, he doesn't have one. She knew nothing about her husband. She was the breadwinner. And they would eat at, like, private clubs in New York. He never wanted to go out in public because he was a well-wanted man. It's a crazy story.
