Episode 11: The Somerton Man

TODAY’S CASE
In 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?
