Christopher Chichester

Bot-the-chris · 05-31-2008, 08:15 AM

Does anyone know remember Christopher Chichester of the John & Linda Sojas case? Could this guy be mr. chichester? http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/149umva.html

Also, are there any updates to the Sojas case?

Aside from the composite/bust sort of looking like the one photo of Chichester that has been shown, I really don't see the similarities. For one thing the age is all wrong.

Okay, and what else is wrong?

Hmm, interesting Bot-the-chris!

I just rewatched this case and I was wondering if there's any way to check the passenger lists to see if "Chichester" (Christian Gerhard Strider?) and Linda Sohus ever boarded a plane? Is that even possible?

What do we know about christian gerhard strider? Why use an alias?

Well he probably wanted a name that sounded more American and not German. I mean he could have used his real name here and I doubt anything of real consequence would have came of it. However maybe he used the Chichester alias so that it would be harder for authorities to trace his identity if he killed someone? I dont really know, it is certainly a strange case. I wouldnt be surprised if Chichester and Linda Solis are back over in Germany now living a nice life.

It seems that Chichester drove John Solis's truck all the way across the country from southern California to Greenwich, Connecticut. If the truck could be found that would be crucial. It looked like a early 1980's Toyota single cab pickup truck. The mysterious woman that picked up Linda's cats might very well have been Linda herself or it was someone Linda sent to pick them up. Linda had an attachment to her cats and for a mysterious woman to go and specifically ask for those cats is interesting.

Honestly, I just think that the only logical explaination for this is that Linda Solis was in someway involved with Christopher Chichester. Obviously John Solis was either lured to the guesthouse or perhaps he even caught Linda and Chichester in the act!

The fact that just his body was there and that it was in seperate plastic bags tells me that Chichester dismembered John and then buried him in the backyard. It seems he was buried relatively deeply and I just dont think he could have done that without someone noticing. I am not sure if Linda helped kill John but I think she is alive and has knowledge of what happened.

The only other possibility I can think of is that Chichester wanted Linda and John was in the way of him achiveing what he wanted. So he killed John through some twisted scheme to try to win Linda over? The fact those postcards were in Linda's handwriting tells me that Linda was in Europe, wrote them out herself and sent them. Unless of course Chichester for some reason had European postcards in his possession and had Linda write on them and then mailed them when he got to Europe to frame Linda for her husbans murder.

Although it seems to me that Chichester thought that it would never be known that John was murdered. I think he thought that everyone would just assume that John and Linda would run off to Europe and he told John's mother not to talk to the cops and because she was a severe alcoholic that was easily controlled he just thought the cops wouldnt look into it.

when he was living at the house in San Marino. My mother knew him from the Friends of the Library and a bunch of us played Trivial Pursuit in the guest house once.

I spoke with the San Marino police about him about ten years afterwards. Guess they didn't find anything useful.

charmedsignora · 06-05-2008, 05:56 PM

Welcome, Celia!

What, if anything, do you know about this case that the UM segment failed to mention?

Celia · 06-05-2008, 06:08 PM

I'd watch it and maybe call the police back! No statute of limitations here, eh?

Who are you referring to? The guy in the bust or mr. chichester himself?

Hi. Long time lurker here. Nice to meet you all.
Apparently, they're looking into the possibility that the 'Clark Rockefeller' guy involved in the recent kidnapping in Boston could be Christopher Chichester!

There is a resemblance...that's for sure. Whether it's him, I can't say I think so for certain. What do you all think?

joetnymedic · 08-05-2008, 11:07 PM

let's see:
1. looks the same
2. uses several aliases
3. likes to hang out with the upscale crowd
4. while living in mass and nh, told people he did work for the govt (john and linda were supposably on a top secret "mission" for the govt.
5. finger prints match
6. chichester disappears in 1993, rockefeller appears 1994
7. here's an iteresting little note. rockefeller has a close friend who is a pediatrician in ny and she lives in-you guessed it greenwich, ct
8. chichester tried to unload the truck in greenwich
9. early in the rockefeller investigation authorities mentioned that rockefeller or could be an alias used by him was supposably issued a social security number in CT
10. chichester disappears, rockefeller appears, rockefeller disappears, chip smith appears.

can ya feel me - guilty as charged. only thing missing is where is linda?
