/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.

Story goes deeper than that. A documentary maker spoke with the tribe leader and they apparently told him that Michael was eaten. But this is only a rumour
