## Resource

In today's episode, we’re traveling to Dutch New Guinea in 1961, where Michael Rockefeller — heir to one of America’s most powerful families — disappeared under haunting circumstances. His small catamaran overturned off the coast of one of the most remote places on earth. Some believe he drowned in the treacherous waters. Others think he reached shore … only to encounter something far more terrifying waiting in the jungle beyond.
