There are said to be nude photos of Anne Hathaway among the effects seized by the FBI in their raid of her boyfriend’s hidden storage space. Hathaway’s boyfriend of four years, Raffaello Follieri, was arrested late last month on federal charges of money laundering and fraud after an elaborate scheme in which he bilked investors out of millions. He claimed to be the CFO of the Vatican and told investors he could get Catholic land in the US at bargain basement prices.

The man known in Massachusetts as alleged kidnapper Clark Rockefeller has been identified as a person of interest in a double-homicide in California, authorities said Friday.
Rockefeller's real name is Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, who was born in 1961 in what was then West Germany, according to a joint statement by the FBI, the Suffolk County (Mass.) District Attorney, the Boston Police Department and the Massachusetts State Police.
They say they tentatively determined his identity before they arrested him on suspicion of kidnapping his daughter on July 27, after they compared his fingerprints on a wine glass in Boston to, among other things, a decades-old immigration file.
