A Dictator, a Commune, and the U.S. Embassy: The Disappearance of Boris Weisfeiler

Conspiracy Theories

In 1984, Boris Weisfeiler went on a backpacking trip in Chile and never returned. Chilean investigators insist he drowned, but his family and the U.S. Embassy don’t buy it. It takes decades for the truth to emerge, one bit of evidence at a time. With each new piece of the puzzle, a more and more outlandish picture emerges.
