The Somerton Man
Have you ever heard of the Somerton Man? It’s a fascinating mystery that occurred in Australia back in 1948. This unidentified man was found dead on Somerton Beach near Adelaide with no identification and nothing in his pockets except for a torn piece of paper from a book of poetry. The message on the paper was cryptic, and to this day, no one has been able to decode it. It’s enough to make you wonder: who was this man, and what happened to him?
The story takes an even more intriguing turn when you consider recent developments in DNA analysis. It seems that the Somerton Man may have been identified as a man named Carl ‘Charles’ Webb. And the scraps of paper found on him are now thought to be from poetry books, some of which were his own poems. Despite this new information, there’s still so much we don’t know about his death. Who killed him? Why was he killed? And what was the meaning behind that mysterious message on a scrap of paper?
