Ep. 119 | The Body on Somerton Beach


Listen Later

In 1948, the body of a well-dressed man was found slumped on an Australian beach. A half-smoked cigarette was resting on his collar, and there was a line from a Persian poem in his pocket - but investigators had no idea who he was. Theories abounded, including that the person - dubbed Somerton Man - was a spy! 

**UPDATE: After more than 70 years, and thanks to advances in DNA technology, a researcher says he's solved the mystery man's identity as Charles "Carl" Webb.
