My friend Hudson pointed me to a new show coming out that’s produced by a friend of his called Gone Missing: Vanished in Papua on the Travel Channel. Looks pretty radical, I’m definitely going to check it out. Watch the trailer here:

Gone Missing Trailer

In 1961, 23-year-old Michael Rockefeller traveled to Papua to pursue a career in anthropology and escape the silver straitjacket that came from being the son of New York governor Nelson Rockefeller. After his dugout canoe swamped in the Arafura Sea, he went missing. Almost 50 years later, reporter Tim Sohn and a film crew ventured to Papua to investigate whether he drowned, was eaten by cannibals, or survived to live Kurtz-like in a remote village.

    i hope it's not another one of those Al Capone's vaults deals.

  • Not sure I know what you mean by that. What's Al Capone's vault?

    Geraldo Rivera did a TV special when we were kids, and it had a lot of buildingup for this mystery but ended on a flat note.
