This is a new one on me. Michael Rockefeller was consumed by "savages" in 1961?
He was the son of Vice President Nelson Rockefeller and he went missing on a jungle expedition in November of 1961.
His body was never found. He was legally pronounced dead in 1964
NETFLIX is releasing a documentary about it.
Page Six reports the details
The complete story is on the Smithsonian website. Fascinating.

I read a book about this last year....very interesting
ReplyDeleteFairly common knowledge among history buffs. A friend of mine wrote a play about it. The general consensus in later years was that he actually drowned, but getting eaten by cannibals makes for a much sexier headline.
