BOSTON -- The FBI says it has conclusively identified the kidnapping suspect who calls himself Clark Rockefeller as a German man who came to the U.S. as a youth and later adopted several aliases.

At a news conference today, the FBI said it had pulled fingerprints from immigration documents from the early 1980s of Christian Gerhartsreiter. The FBI said those fingerprints matched those taken from Gerhartsreiter around the time of his Aug 2. arrest in Baltimore.

Earlier this week, authorities in California identified Rockefeller as Gerhartsreiter, though they did not provide forensic evidence.

Gerhartsreiter is accused of kidnapping his daughter off a Boston street during a supervised visit.

Authorities are seeking to question Gerhartsreiter about the disappearance of a California couple who owned a guest house where he lived.
