which he investigates the enduring mysteries surrounding the death is the disappearance of michael rockefeller and their rumors that rockefeller died at the hands of cannibals. please welcome mr. carl hoffman. [applause] >> thanks so much for coming out today. i have always wanted to give a sermon in a church. i will start with a story. when i was a kid when i was 11 or 12 just entering adolescence i lived in a house and we had a big front porch and i discovered one somewhere that if you opened the window to my bed room you could go to the roof of the front porch and for a kid that age that seemed a really daring fishing to do, you go out on a summer afternoon with your shirt off and i wasn't that while the kids so that was a wild thing to do. we like to do it but in the neighborhood you grow up in there is always that kid who is kind of a wild kid, who will do anything and in my neighborhood that was teddy hannibal. one day we were sitting out there on the roof feeling very daring and he is like what is up? next thing you knew, his head popped out the window and he started climbing out, never

frightening to me, the best example of this is my book "savage harvest" about the disappearance of michael rockefeller, i don't know how many of you know the story, in 1961 michael was the son of nelson, nelson was the governor of new york at the time, michael graduated from harvard and went to new guinea to work on the film and heard about the asmac people who worked in the southwest coast of what is now indonesia and papua in new guinea and they were magnificent carvers and very complex people and his father created what was then called the museum of primitive art which was opened in 1957 and michael was named a trustee at the age of 19 and he had been brought up in the world of art like most american kids are brought up in the world of jumping off roofs, of baseball. he heard about at and the quick reconnaissance mission. in 1961 and he liked what he saw, and went back in the fall. crossing of the mouth of the river, dutch colleague, and long story short he swam and violated the first rule of yachting and he swam for shore with two and the gasoline can strapped to his waist and disappeared forever

but he is incredibly important to the story of michael rockefeller. he is the leader of the -- who came there in 1957 and they were at war and he came but they had these complex connections and he convinced a bunch of men to go on this voyage to this sacred pool and about 50 miles south, and those -- that -- it was just a lure because they wanted these men's heads. so he convinced the men to go and then they massacred them all. which led to the max razz raid which led to the killing of michael. when you look at that you go, whoa and mike what didn't know that when he collected those poles. obviously -- he didn't know the relationship. there's absolutely no -- it's interesting. there's no reference in michael's journals or any letters i've seen dish haven't seen all of them -- that refer to a knowledge of this -- of those events. that were just three years before him. max was in 1958, so knowing all that makes the story on all sides more powerful. >> thank you for your great story. >> thank you. >> wonderful. michael rockefeller was an innocent victim.
