August 4, 2008 Maryland firm tipped police in Rockefeller case Play video

(NECN: Boston, Mass.) - Clark Rockefeller is headed back to Boston to face charges in the abduction of his seven-year-old daughter. He was arrested over the weekend, outside a home in Baltimore, Maryland.

The head of a Baltimore real estate company says her staff recognized a man accused in the abduction of his daughter in Massachusetts from news reports and called police.

Rockefeller contacted Obsidian Realty late last year, saying he wanted to buy a home because he and his daughter were moving from Chile to Baltimore. Obsidian's managing partner, Julie Gochar, says her firm arranged for temporary housing and in mid-July, the company brokered Rockefeller's purchase of a home.
