    The way he was found, sitting with his legs extended and cross, leaning against the sea wall, facing out to sea, with an unlit cigarette on his shoulder... sounds pretty obviously like he knew he had been poisoned and went to sit on the beach for one last ciggy and a sunset.

      If he had been poisoned, he more than likely would have vomited all over. Because the human body will react in ways to get rid of anything that is toxic to the body. Not to mention that most anything toxic enough to kill somebody will also show signs of other side effects. Like discoloration, burns, rashes. Muscular reactions. Because the body is fighting death.

      @kellyblack2010 Před rokem +1

      Same I saw the that video too yesterday… this I starting to sound more like a serial killer/copycat or a group with the same “signature” of removing identifying information from the victims and seamingly planting evidence that doesn’t add up to confuse the cops. The fact that the woman after 50 years still seemed afraid to tell who the man was suggest that it’s probably a organization because the actual killer probably was long dead by then or at least very elderly as she wa at the time. This sounds like something an fbi profiler would have to solve

    • @masonrz
      @masonrz Před rokem +1

      The two might be related in some way. unidentifiable person, mysterious death, labels removed from clothes, few items on the person (none of which can identify the person), suite case left at a train station with items in that also can not be used to identify the person (labels removed as well), both were close to military/rocket sites 10:16 (nuclear rocket range) in this case and the "Isdal Woman" was also thought to have followed the penguin missile testing locations. That might also explain why the nurse was so scared to talk, since she knew the man from seeing him and might have been involved in his death in some way (or saw the murder at least), so she knew/saw the dangerous people that was after the man and wanted her name to stay out of anything related to the case in fear that they might come after her (also her reaction when she saw the man's face tells me that she was just a bystander that got dragged into this, since a trained person would not react that way in order to avoid suspicion). the same group might have gone after the Isdal Woman as well hence the similarities in how the bodies and their artefacts were found.
      Sounds like a conspiracy theory, but the similarities are just to close

We do know that he reportedly had an alcohol problem and had divorced a year before his death, and that he was very fond of poetry (which could explain the note found on his body). As for the code in the book? We may never know.

    There is another very strange detail about this case. The book from which the scrap "Tamam Shud" was torn out had a format that did not match the actual edition indicated on the inside cover. In fact, it did not match the format of any other Rubayat edition published between 1930 and 1945. It resembles most closely the 1941 Whitcombe and Tombs edition of the book, but there are still slight differences in the font and the size of the paper. Somerton Man's copy of Rubayat appears to be bespoke. No other copy identical to it has ever been found.

    As soon as you said all the labels had been removed from the clothing, it can be assumed this man was a clandestine operative. Labels are removed from operative’s clothing so it can’t be traced back to the country/region/area where it was purchased which can potentially compromise the operative.
    Personally, I think the man either poisoned himself or was poisoned by someone else.
    They’ll never find his true identity. Most likely his family (if he had one) was quietly notified of his death and were warned not to talk about it by the government he worked for.

Some thought she might be a spy but others did not. She had a lot of wigs and different sunglasses and non prescription eyeglasses in a suitcase, too, among other things. All of her makeup had the labels removed, also. She had died from being caught on fire but she had a bunch of pills in her stomach as if she had been forced to take them before she was caught on fire.

      @@npc6817 no, it was only on one piece.
      The gum was issued once, only one created per code that was to be used.
      Having a bunch of codes on a bunch of gum sticks would defeat the point.
      More often, they had a one time code written on paper they entered the field with, or was acquired in a dead drop.

In the 70's, Outer Harbour was way out with vacant land separating it. Jetty Rd Glenelg neighbouring Somerton Beach, neighbouring Jetty Rd Brighton - all within walking distance but quite separate in those days because of the lack of transport, and now just tourist traps for the locals to avoid.

      Yup! Me as well. With the exception of external clothing. Like jackets, coats and all of my fedora hats. All of which have a label on the upper inside and never come in contact with me extensive bald spot. So all in all I think he was some kind of Spook!

      ​@@confusedbadger6275 Totally agreed. My father worked as a teller in the bank for many years. He had a closet full of white shirts, all of which were labeled with his name. The dry cleaner would check the label and be able to return the correct white shirt to the correct customer. Very different world in the 1940's and 50's.

      @VivPhotography Před 2 lety +1

      I don't think the labels back then were scratchy like they are now (made of a completely different material). Plus, the label had your name on it, so it doesn't make sense for him to take it off.

      If they thought he had been poisoned by an exotic poison of the type spies might use and the other strange background or lack of them items involving the deceased, I would think the police would have the intelligence services monitor the nurse. She may not have had an important position in her work, but maybe early in her life she was active in communist organizations and they found her useful in facilitating their espionage activities in the area. She may have been the local spy contact. Lover, spy contact or both. After determining he was the father through DNA, the question comes who was he before the pregnancy? Tracing DNA should go upward and outward.
