About this listen

 He was a man with no name, found dead on a quiet Australian beach with a secret hidden in his pocket. Was he a jilted lover, a Cold War spy, or the victim of a poison plot so perfect it remains untraceable? For over 70 years, the Tamam Shud Case has been Australia's most baffling unsolved mystery, but the story of the Somerton Man is far from over. We dive deep into the chilling details: the indecipherable handwritten code, the copy of The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, and the enigmatic nurse, Jessie "Jo" Thomson, whose phone number was the only lead.

Join us as we follow the groundbreaking modern DNA investigation by Professor Derek Abbott and Colleen Fitzpatrick that finally gave the Somerton Man a name: Carl "Charles" Webb. But solving one piece of this cold case only unlocks more questions. What really happened to the instrument maker from Melbourne? And does identifying him finally crack the mysterious code he left behind? This isn't just another true crime podcast; it's an active investigation into a story of secret love, potential espionage, and a mystery that has haunted a nation for generations. We'll explore every theory, from suicide to a clandestine affair, and question if the "end" was truly written on that scrap of paper.

If you love a gripping historical true crime story filled with twists, this is your next obsession. Follow our podcast, share with your most curious friends, and join the global community trying to finally put the ghost of Somerton Beach to rest.
