Australia’s Greatest Mystery: The Somerton Man

from The Internet Says it’s True · host Michael Kent

A well-dressed man is found dead on an Australian beach with no identification, no known family, and a hidden scrap of paper reading “Tamám Shud” - “it is finished.” What followed became one of the strangest mysteries of the 20th century involving secret codes, missing labels, Cold War spy theories, and a question that haunted investigators for more than 70 years. This week, Michael Kent dives into the eerie true story of the Somerton Man. Then we play the Yap Yap Quiz with The Cosmic Romantics!
