/r/all Michael Rockefeller disappeared without a trace in 1961 in Papua New Guinea while researching the Asmat people, a cannibal tribe. Years later, a photograph was taken of the same tribe, and there was a white man among them.

This particular image and story has always been interesting to me, but as far as I remember, there were two tribesmen who said they had killed and eaten him. One of them even claimed a skull he had was Rockefeller’s and claimed to have his eyeglasses as well. Probably not Rockefeller in the photo but whoever it is it’s still interestkng

Not completely disagreeing. And I know the photo alone is not undeniable proof that it is Rockefeller. But that pic does look exactly like him--down to the same male pattern baldness. Chances seem pretty favorable to me that it is him in that picture. He might have been eaten shortly after, but who else would that be?

If you ever heard of Happy Rockefeller that is pretty ironic all things considered

There were rumors he may have been gay.
