Sean Flynn
Sean Flynn spent years in the shadow of his legendary Hollywood father, Errol Flynn. He tried acting for a while, but it didn’t work out because most of his films were flops. However, it was the Vietnam War that gave him his big break, not a film. He enlisted as a photojournalist and was dispatched to Vietnam, where he sent back chilling images of the war that fueled the anti-war movement. He and journalist Dana Stone went to a Viet Cong checkpoint to take photographs and were never seen or heard again.
Michael Rockefeller
Nelson Rockefeller served as governor of New York and vice president under Gerald Ford, but his son died in suspicious circumstances. Carl Hoffman wrote Savage Harvest: A Tale of Cannibals, Colonialism, and Michael Rockefeller’s Tragic Quest for Primitive Art in 2014 claiming to have immersed himself in the culture of the land’s native Asmat tribes, immersing himself in a warring culture that frequently engages in ritualistic cannibalism. However, due to a lack of actual evidence, this case remains officially “unsolved.”
