A new book claims to have solved the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Michael Rockefeller, the 23-year-old son of New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, who vanished in 1961 while filming a documentary in Dutch New Guinea.
Officials at the time declared that Rockefeller had drowned after his boat capsized. However, rumours soon surfaced that he had been murdered and eaten by local tribesmen from the Asmat region.
Author Carl Hoffman, in his book 'Savage Harvest', retraced Rockefeller's steps in what is now the Indonesian province of Papua, uncovering previously undiscovered clues that suggest the cannibalism theory may be true.
