In 1967, well-known fashion tycoon Jim Thompson went on vacation in the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia and vanished without a trace. His disappearance resulted in the largest manhunt ever conducted on land in Southeast Asian history. But who exactly was Jim Thompson? In this episode, we will walk you through the life and legacy of this charismatic millionaire, adventurous intelligence officer, and founder of a renowned fashion empire that still exists today.
Information for this series was taken from William Warren's book, Jim Thompson: The Unsolved Mystery (1999); Joshua Kurlantzick's book, The Ideal Man: The Tragedy of Jim Thompson and the American Way of War (2012); a variety of popular newspaper and magazine articles, and Lew Toulmin's extensive report on the Thompson case, which can be found here: http://www.themosttraveled.com/The%20Disappearance%20of%20Jim%20Thompson%20FINAL%20redacted.pdf
