One of the world’s great mysteries is on the verge of being solved. For over 70 years, investigators have sought to identify the unknown man found dead on an Australian beach in 1948. There were no signs of foul play and an examination of the victim’s stylish clothing strangely revealed that all of the labels had been removed. In his pocket was found a passage from a rare book that eerily translates to: It is ended. Was this a suicide or something much more complicated? We are joined by Dr. Lars Petersen to discuss how newly collected DNA evidence may finally reveal the identity of the Somerton Man.  Ready to learn the identity of the Somerton Man? Join us for Episode 142 – The Somerton Man Mystery: SOLVED!

The building's unique blend of history, architecture, and ghostly tales makes it a captivating site for dark history enthusiasts.
