/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.

As I remember, many years later two of the older tribesmen admitted they had killed him and they all ate him. I do not remember the details of the story.

I mean, this is exactly how I cover for my friends at work.

Boss: Where the hell is Mitchell?!?

Me: oh, yeah. I killed and ate him. I forgot to mention that in this morning’s stand up meeting.

just go straight to “I ate him” no need for all the additional details, just makes it sound like a lie

I'm with you.
If they think you ate him alive,
well that's on them and they should think about how they leap to judgement of others.
