Investigators have found an important clue in the case of the missing girl snatched off a Boston street by her own father.
Clark Rockefeller is suspected of hatching an elaborate kidnapping plot to take his own daughter, Reigh.
CBS 2 HD has learned more about the mystery surrounding Clark Rockefeller's true identity.
An international manhunt is underway from marinas to highways to airports searching for the father who allegedly kidnapped his own daughter and planned an escape to the Bahamas.
Boston police late Tuesday confirmed that they have found the SUV adorned with Red Sox stickers and a Red Sox license plate they say was used to kidnap the 7-year-old child and are interviewing the operator of the vehicle.
The last time Reigh "Snooks" Boss was seen was Sunday around 7:30 p.m. near Grand Central Terminal. Just hours earlier her father, who is involved in a bitter divorce and custody battle with his London-based ex-wife, met his child and a social worker on a supervised visit in Boston's posh Beacon Hill neighborhood. During the visit, Rockefeller suddenly and forcefully pushed the social worker aside and leaped into a black SUV that had just screeched to the curb. Rockefeller and his daughter got in the vehicle and sped off.
On Tuesday NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly said that a woman came forward admitting that she brought the father and child from Boston to New York unaware there was an AMBER alert out for little Reigh at the time. It's unclear if this woman was the one driving the car in Massachusetts at the time of alleged abduction.
"The woman goes to the 114 Precinct in Queens. She states that he made references to a yacht or boat named 'Serenity,' but there are 380 vessels named Serenity so we are checking with marinas," Kelly said.
One such Serenity was in Sag Harbor. Captain Kal Moore was smiling when CBS 2 HD caught up to her, but it was a different story earlier when her catamaran -- chartered out of Sag Harbor -- was suddenly surrounded by the Coast Guard and furiously searched for the missing girl.
Police say the mysterious father claimed to be related to the Rockefeller clan, but a spokesman for that family confirmed to CBS 2 HD that he is not. The father, who goes by several aliases, purchased the 72-foot yacht, reportedly as part of his plan to escape with his daughter to the Bahamas, Alaska or even Peru.
