What Really Happened to Michael Rockefeller

What Really Happened to Micheal Rockefeller - by Carl Hoffmann/ History/ SmithsonianMag.com

A journey to the heart of New Guinea’s Asmat tribal homeland sheds new light on the mystery of the heir’s disappearance there in 1961

The Baliem Valley was a “magnificent vastness” in Rockefeller’s eyes, and its people were “emotionallly expressive.” But Asmat proved to be “more remote country than what I have ever seen.” (President and Fellows of Harvard University; Peabody Museum of Archeology and Ethnology [155700080])

Spoiler. I skipped ahead. P. 4 says he was eaten. Had never heard about him. Before my time. What sadness for the family.

As a kid, I remember hearing about the desperate search for him on the news.
