The startling, dramatic story—five young, idealistic Americans using modern technology to physically reach the world's remotest regions and then being speared to death by the people they were trying to help, leaving five young widows and nine children—was played up in 1956 in publications across the United States. Not only newspapers (particularly in the men's hometowns or other places associated with one or more of them) but also magazines, such as Life and Time, carried the story. Follow-up articles appeared for some time afterwards, particularly in Life magazine. Photographer Cornell Capa contributed extensive photo essays to Life, not only on the killing of the men, but also on the later mission of Rachel Saint and Elisabeth Elliot (with her young daughter Valerie), together with Dayuma, to live among the Waorani.
