Law enforcement identified him as Rossi, a former child welfare campaigner and political lobbyist who faked his death two years prior after becoming a convicted sex offender and the prime suspect in at least three rapes.<\/p>\n<p>The man found in the Glasgow hospital continues to claim he is Arthur Knight, and his wife, Miranda Knight, backs up his story. Law enforcement on both sides of the Atlantic, however, are convinced that the man is really Rossi based on fingerprints and photographs of distinct tattoos, and they want him back in the U.S. to face justice. In June, a Sheriff\u2019s Court in Edinburgh will decide if he should be sent to America to face trial.<\/p>\n<p><em>Extradition<\/em> (w.t.) will feature exclusive footage, first-person testimony and archive to follow the case in full.<\/p>\n<p>Nick Mirsky, executive producer at Five Mile Films, said: \u201cI am really pleased that Owen Phillips\u2014producer of<em> Leaving Neverland<\/em> (Channel 4 and HBO), <em>The Rise of the Murdoch Dynasty<\/em> (BBC Two), <em>Barrymore: The Body in the Pool<\/em> (Channel 4) and <em>Murder in the Valleys<\/em> (Sky Crime)\u2014is working with Five Mile Films to tell this story. He\u2019s an exceptional program-maker and has an unrivaled ability to get to the heart of a story.
