Writer and documentary-maker has failed to return from trip to visit remote tribe he last spent time with 30 years agoA British explorer is missing in Papua New Guinea, having failed to return by the expected date after setting off to find a remote tribe he last visited three decades ago. The father of three, who intended to make a documentary about the Yaifo, was travelling with no phone or GPS device. “It’s ghastly, but it’s not the first time it has happened,” she told Radio 4’s Today programme. Furthermore, no outsider has made the journey to visit them since the rather perilous journey I made as a young man three decades ago. This would make them the remotest people in Papua New Guinea, and one of the last people on the entire planet who are out-of-contact with our interconnected world.
