  Michael Rockefeller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Clark Rockefeller (born 1938 - died November 18, 1961?), was a member of the Rockefeller family and youngest son of Governor Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller and Mary Todhunter "Tod" (Clark) Rockefeller, who disappeared during an expedition in the Asmat region of southwestern New Guinea.
Rockefeller graduated from Harvard University cum laude in 1960, served for six months as a private in the U.S. Army, then went on an expedition for Harvard's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology which studied the Dani tribe of western New Guinea.
He dismissed reports of Rockefeller's living as a captive or as a Kurtz-like figure in the jungle, but concluded that there was circumstantial evidence to support the idea that he was killed.

 BookPage Interview March 2004: Samantha Gillison
Michael Rockefeller, the son of New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller and a member of one of the wealthiest families in America, disappeared in the Arafura Sea off the coast of New Guinea in 1961 at the age of 22.
