Well this was an unexpected surprise. So there's a new program on Travel Channel called Lost in the Wild whose gimmick is they take a procedural approach to unsolved disappearances. But with an exploration theme. So in remote territories like the Amazon jungle, as an example. I flipped to it on a whim and became intrigued almost immediately. I recognized one of the 2 hosts as the same woman from that show Legend Quest, a poor man's Expedition Unknown from like seven or eight years ago that was pretty bad from what I remember.
The latest episode was about the case of a self styled 'Brazilian Indian' named Tatunca Nara who in the 1970s and 80s claimed he was from the lost underground city of Akakor. He collaborated with a German journalist named Karl Brugger to sell his story which became pretty popular amongst the New Age crowd. Some people went to the Amazon offering Nara substantial payment to serve as their guide to Akakor. Three went missing during these trips and presumed murdered;in fact one victim's skull was positively identified. Brugger became suspicious but was himself murdered in 1984;no one knows who killed him but many think it was Tatunca Nara. The two hosts even interview Nara himself at the end of the episode but he refused to admit to anything.
The program was surprisingly gripping. I'd recommend it.

whats your thoughts about it. He definitely did it. I mean, it's the jungle. It's a perfect dumping ground for a body (or bodies). It''s a miracle they found Wanner's skull at all.
