18 Celebrities That Vanished Without a Trace or Explanation

Michael Rockefeller

Young, rich, and exorbitantly handsome. Michael Rockefeller had everything going for him when he simply went missing. Michael could have been referred to as just another spoiled socialite who vanished while on vacation, but that would be doing his story a disservice. Instead, Michael would vanish while visiting Papua New Guinea to visit the local people and embrace their culture.

Rockefeller would see his boat overturned around the Asmat area of Papua New Guinea and his body was never recovered. Some local tribes are said to have seen Rockefeller reach the shore, only to be killed and dismembered as a trophy. Nobody knows for sure.
