He Faked His Death, And They Just Found Him In….
These are by far the most horrific criminals but failed in the hands of the authorities.
Meet, Nicholas Rossi who also happens to be Nicholas Alahverdian, Nicholas Alahverdian Rossi, Nicholas Edward Rossi, Nicholas Alahverdian-Rossi, Nick Alan, Nicholas Brown, Arthur Brown, and Arthur Knight.
UTAH COUNTY ATTORNEY reports that this man is such clever for using so many names, to begin with, and this man is a suspect in a sexual assault case in Utah back in 2008.
County Attorney David O. Leavitt confirmed that the DNA submitted in 2017 have matched with the sexual assault kit in Ohio, which means Rossi was also the suspect.
After the approval of the prosecution, Rossi was then filed with charges.
The Providence Journal in Rhode Island reported:
Rossi has also been linked to several other crimes across multiple states, including opening at least 22 credit cards and loans under his foster mother’s husband’s name and racking up close to $200,000 in debt where Rossi was involved in politics and later on announced he had late-stage non-Hodgkin lymphoma and only weeks to live and then had his death announced in February 2020.
After his connection to the Ohio case, Rossi had faked his death and fled the country.
But COVID then saved the day.
He was found recently in Glasgow, Scotland, after catching COVID-19 and ending up in the ICU, where he nearly died.
Rhode Island State Police Maj. Robert A. Creamer said in a statement, “He was located in Scotland about a month ago, where he was on a ventilator.”
Scottish authorities have worked with U.S. authorities to detain and monitor the 34-year-old who was going by the name Arthur Knight, a.k.a. Nicholas Rossi.
The Scottish Sun reported:
It’s a very bizarre set of circumstances, Police attended the ward on behalf of their colleagues in the States and once it was established Knight was who they were looking for, a cop was stationed at his door non-stop. He was officially arrested in connection with the Interpol red notice and then the fiscal became involved to begin the extradition process back to America.”
But because of his bad criminal records, his former wife, Kathryn Heckendorn who was allegedly scammed by Nicholas for more the $60,000 was impressed that he was caught and claimed that she thought it was another scam at first.
She said, “At first I didn’t believe it, I said this has to be Nick; he probably hired someone to get in touch with me to scope out the situation, because that’s the very special kind of deception he would do.”

Attorney David O. Leavitt has expressed his gratitude for the seizure of this culprit.
He said, “Our office is grateful for the significant interagency collaboration of law enforcement to bring this suspect to justice, we credit Utah’s Sexual Assault Kit Initiative grant funded through the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Justice Assistance as playing a significant role in testing backlogged kits and ultimately identifying the suspect.”
