Bogus U.S. ‘Film Director’ Suspected of Killing Woman and Baby in Europe Extradited

A bogus film producer suspected of killing his partner and their baby in Rome has been extradited to Italy after fleeing to Greece following their deaths.

On June 13, a 46-year-old man going by the alias Rexal Ford was detained on the Greek island of Skiathos under an Italian arrest warrant. Italian authorities had linked him to the horrific double-murder of a 30-year-old woman and her 11-month-old daughter in Rome on June 7. Ford, whom The Times in England dubbed the “Untalented Mr. Ripley,” was in fact Francis Charles Kaufmann from California.

Their naked bodies were discovered in the Italian capital’s Villa Doria Pamphili park, concealed by black bags and bushes.
