In fact, images may provide clues about what happened to Rockefeller after his mysterious disappearance all those years ago.
About a decade after his mysterious disappearance, National Geographic sent a film crew to Asmat, and their footage may have revealed the shocking truth behind Rockefeller’s fate.
The footage captured dozens of naked tribesmen rowing boats, and amidst them was a naked Caucasian man who bore a striking resemblance to Rockefeller.
While many quickly assumed the man in the footage was Rockefeller—given his prior contact with the Asmat tribe before the capsizing—the person who filmed the scene did not draw the same conclusion.
A skeptical Malcolm Kirk remarked, “I can’t say I was particularly aware of a light-skinned figure in one of the canoes, but I do recall coming across a reference to an albino male when I glanced through my journal a few weeks ago.”
But we aren’t going mad – surely not?
In 2011, Fraser Heston produced a documentary called The Search for Michael Rockefeller, focusing on Rockefeller’s story. It seems he aligns with our perspective.
In the documentary, he remarked, “This image of a bearded, light-skinned Caucasian paddling in a canoe with naked Asmat warriors raises more questions than it answers.”
“The resemblance to Michael Rockefeller, who was known for his bearded appearance and skill in canoeing, is strikingly clear.”
