Indian police trying to recover the remains of an American missionary killed by an isolated tribe are consulting anthropologists and staking out the island where he was attacked. “Because they have killed somebody from outside, they have to have suffered a psychological shock,” he said. Should the Sentinelese do the same with Chau, it could present the only opportunity to identify or retrieve his body. Two fishermen saw the Sentinelese dragging his body and burying it the next morning. Since 1996 the Indian government has had a policy of leaving the tribe alone, enforcing a buffer zone around their island.
