Hi, I'm Anamari Cox. This is with friends like these Good Intentions Edition.

This was a journey American missionary, John Chow, was warned against taking. The island

was off limits to protect outsiders and the tribe, which has no immunity to modern diseases.

This morning, investigators are trying to figure out who else might have been involved in

that fatal mission.

With reports of arrests, Indian police say they're investigating whether more people

may have been involved in this illegal trip. The police chief calling it a misplaced

adventure to an island where the people reject contact with the outside world and then

that gruesome ending a young American's body buried in the sand.

Today, this remote island in the Indian Ocean is the focus of an investigation. Where is

American missionary John Chow's body? This morning, seven people, including Fisherman

accused of taking him there are under arrest, more maybe under suspicion. Chow was no

stranger to exotic adventures trekking in South Africa, snowshoeing across the Pacific

Northwest, diving in the Andaman Sea, curious about the tribes, but his trip to North Sentinel

Island in the Andaman Sea was both perilous and illegal.

That's coverage of the death of John Chow. You probably remember John Allen Chow. History

was everywhere, even though it started in one of the most remote places on earth. How remote?

Well, there's a string of islands that used to be a land bridge between Burma and Indonesia.

Then, as I say, about 10,000 years ago, the ice caps melted, the seas rose, and they became a string

of islands. There are more than 800 islands, of which only 30 are inhabited. And that is why you

have these tribes living in isolation. They were literally cut off from the world.
