Episode 11: The Somerton Man

from Mainly Murder With Meg & Mum

TODAY’S CASEIn this episode, we dive into one of the most baffling true crime mysteries of the 20th century: the case of the Somerton Man. Found dead on an Australian beach in 1948, this unidentified man had no ID, no labels on his clothes, and a tiny scrap of paper in his pocket with the words Tamám Shud—meaning “ended” in Persian. Was he a spy, a lost lover, or something even more mysterious?🔗 LINKSPatreon - www.patreon.com/mainlymurderInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mainly_murderBuy Us A Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/mainlymurderwithmegandmum📩 CONTACT [email protected] 🌐 CASE SOURCEShttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerton_Manhttps://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-body-on-somerton-beach-50795611/https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jul/27/somerton-man-mystery-identity-solved-identified-australia Hosted on Acast.
