The Savage Death of Michael Rockefeller | And the Cover-Up

FORGOTTEN HISTORY

In 1961, Michael Rockefeller — son of New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller and heir to one of the world’s most powerful families — vanished off the coast of New Guinea.

The official story? He drowned at sea. But decades of whispers, missionary testimonies, and even a forbidden photograph tell another version: that Rockefeller swam to shore and was speared, butchered, and eaten by the Asmat people as part of a ritual blood-debt. Why did colonial authorities bury the truth? And what role did the Rockefeller family play in protecting their name from scandal?

Join us as we uncover the savage death of Michael Rockefeller — a story of cannibals, cover-ups, and the photograph that could change everything. 👉 Do you think he drowned… or was eaten alive?
