Small Town Mysteries

The Disappearance of Michael Rockefeller

• Kate, Christine, and Rachael • Episode 139

This week, Kate dives into an unsolved mystery, and a rather perplexing one, at that. This one is a great example/reminder of why colonialism is bad. When Michael Rockefeller (yes, of THE Rockefeller Family) disappeared during an expedition in the Asmat region of southwestern Dutch New Guinea (now South Papua), no one knew what had happened to him. 
There's a few theories. Some are simple, and some are sinister.
