Latest development centers on alleged 1961 footage showing a white man among Asmat warriors in New Guinea.
The reports tie Michael Rockefeller to post-disappearance theories, including survival with the Asmat or being eaten.
Some theories claim Rockefeller was killed by Asmat elders and cannibalized, based on anecdotal accounts.
Other explanations include Rockefeller being eaten by sharks, according to various sources cited in the piece.
The Daily Star frames the mystery as a blend of conspiracy theories and documentary investigations.
Historical context notes Rockefeller disappeared after attempting to swim to safety from a sinking boat in 1961.
The piece compiles statements from various figures, including Mr Ballen and explorers, to present competing narratives.
Claims about the footage and sightings are presented as rumours and speculative documentaries rather than confirmed fact.
The article notes that verifying the claims remains elusive, with no definitive evidence offered in the report.

Researchers find two distinct dispersal routes into Sahul dating to about 60,000 years ago.
Southern route lineages account for about two-thirds of early arrivals to Australia.
Northern route lineages linked to the Philippines, Sulawesi, and Papua New Guinea reached Sahul.
Sahul acted as a now-submerged landmass during the Pleistocene when sea levels were lower.
The study integrates genetic data with archaeological and climatic evidence.
Most extant Sahul and Near Oceania lineages originate from northern-route migrations.
Early pioneers via the northern route may have reached the Bismarck Archipelago and Solomon Islands soon after Sahul.
The two-route model supports an older, long chronology of settlement in Australia.
The Science Advances study combines mutation rates with population connections to map dispersals.
The full research was published in Science Advances.
