TL;DR Summary

A man living in downtown Los Angeles under the name Mark Clemens was discovered to be Christian R. Basham, a suspect in a Seattle-area child-rape case who had faked his own death in 2009. The shocking revelation came after his death, uncovering a decade-long hidden identity. Residents were stunned by the news, as "Mark" had been their maintenance man and was well-liked in the building. Basham had been arrested in 2008 and charged with second-degree child rape, and his presumed death in 2009 led to his removal from a most wanted list. Further investigation will now be conducted to trace Basham's movements and actions after 2009.
