Celebrity Disappearances That Remain Unsolved Mysteries to This Day

Michael Rockefeller, son of New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, disappeared while collecting artifacts in New Guinea, leaving only his boat adrift 12 miles offshore. Officially deemed a drowning, his fate remains enshrouded in mystery.

Carl Hoffman’s 2014 book Savage Harvest dives into New Guinea’s Asmat tribe culture, suggesting through witness accounts that they killed and ate Rockefeller, a theory aligning with rumors but still leaving the case unsolved due to lack of concrete evidence.
