Rumor has it that this tribe brutally murdered with Michael Rockefeller in 1961.

23-year-old son of a politician and banker Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, one of the richest men in America, got into trouble when his catamaran overturned off the coast of New Guinea. Guy explored the island in search of treasure, hoping to bring them home and show in new York.

Writer Carl Hoffman claims that Michael sailed about 16 km, and then tossed it ashore, where a young man was found and killed by the spears of the natives. Then they made him over his terrible ritual.

Unlike the Amazon, this area was not enough natural resources, so the researchers came from the West, has left these people behind. Interest in the life of the colony was shown by the Netherlands, which received the archipelago from the East India company in 1800. Max Labre, Dutch leader, known for his harsh temper, ordered the shooting of five members of the elite of the Asmat people. This act angered the tribe which followed the law of "an eye for an eye." Since that time, the cannibals were eager to take revenge on white.

The assassination of the heir to the Rockefeller could be revenge for the death of members of the tribe at the hands of the Dutch. The writer Goffman casts version of drowning or be eaten by sharks of the researcher: things belonging to the traveler who has not been found, and among them the two cans of gasoline which a man is tied to his. And marine predators in those places don't attack people.

Relatives Rockefeller went to New Guinea after his disappearance and were looking for Michael during the week. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy family expressed their condolences and offered support. After nine days of fruitless search for relatives of the deceased returned home, and Holland found him drowned.Despite the fact that in the tribe for 30 years are not held bloody rites, a risk few.
