Were any Japanese WW2 holdouts rumored to be in that area?

was all of New Guinea involved?

what kind of troops were stationed there?

I recall reading the cannibalism story circa 1970, in Argosy magazine.

No ping because of the turgid music and the narrator's annoying voice.

Nonetheless, a breaking-the-timeline image of MR rowing in that boat would support my general thesis. That is, that MR's disappearance from real life was a planned event, probably with the help of his family's intel community friends. In all likelihood, he didn't die as a result of some boating incident.

Just as was the C_A connected Loretta Fuddy's faked death:

Tom Hanks is from a very old U.S. family. He is related to Lincoln's mother Nancy Hanks. And the Rockefellers are a very old U.S. family. It does not surprise me that they resemble each other because of the archetypal old stock of Northwestern European settler families from the 17th & 18th centuries.

But I do not think that Tom Hanks is Michael Rockefeller, nor is he any close relative of the Rockefellers, whose looks I have studied over the years because I knew someone who actually was related to them; a cousin who was once or twice removed, and yet resembled Nelson so much that people did double takes when they passed him on the street.

Or perhaps I don't want to think Hanks is related, because I have met Hanks and disliked his snotty attitude intensely.
