(Newser) – A love triangle could be behind a California couple's 1985 disappearance, which police say involved Christopher Chichester—potentially yet another alias for accused kidnap dad Clark Rockefeller, reports the Boston Herald. Authorities theorize Chichester, a tenant of Linda and John Sohus, may have become romantically involved with Linda before growing envious of her husband—a love triangle that may have resulted in murder.

It's a theory that Ellen Sohus, John’s half-sister finds credible. “It is certainly a possibility that she had something to do with it. It is hard to explain why she was never found."
