The Somerton Man Case: The Death No One Could Explain

In 1948, a well-dressed man was found dead on an Australian beach: no ID, no name, and a note in his pocket with the words “Tamam Shud”. For decades, investigators chased theories of spies, secret codes, and poisons, but the case stayed cold. Morgan and Kaelyn unravel the story of the Somerton Man, the mystery that haunted Australia for 75 years, and the shocking modern DNA twist that may have finally revealed his name.
