520 The mysterious disappearance of Michael Rockefeller in
remote New Guinea in 1961 has kept the world, and even
Michael's powerful, influential family, guessing for
years. Now, Carl Hoffman uncovers startling new evidence
that finally tells the full, astonishing story. On
November 21, 1961, Michael C. Rockefeller, the twenty-
three-year-old son of New York governor Nelson Rockefeller,
vanished off the coast of southwest New Guinea when his
catamaran capsized while crossing a turbulent river mouth.
He was on an expedition to collect art for the Museum of
Primitive Art, which his father had founded in 1957, and
his expedition partner--who stayed with the boat and was
later rescued--shared Michael's final words as he swam for
help: "I think I can make it." Despite exhaustive searches
by air, ground, and sea, no trace of Michael was ever
found. Soon after his disappearance, rumors surfaced that
he'd made it to shore, where he was then killed and eaten
by the local Asmat--a native tribe of warriors whose
complex culture was built around sacred, reciprocal
violence, headhunting, and ritual cannibalism. The Dutch
government and the Rockefeller family vehemently denied
the story, and Michael's death was officially ruled a
drowning. While the cause of death was accepted publicly,
doubts lingered and sensational stories circulated,
fueling speculation and intrigue for decades. The real
story has long waited to be told--until now. Retracing
Michael's steps, award-winning journalist Carl Hoffman
traveled to the jungles of New Guinea, immersing himself
in a world of former headhunters and cannibals, secret
spirits and customs, and getting to know generations of
Asmat. Through exhaustive archival research, he uncovered
hundreds of pages of never-before-seen original documents
and located witnesses willing to speak publicly for the
first time in fifty years.
520 Retracing the steps of Michael C. Rockefeller, who went
missing in 1961 during an expedition to New Guinea, an
avid traveler immerses himself in the world of former
headhunters and cannibals to uncover the truth behind
Rockefeller's disappearance.
