Show Notes

In 1948, a well-dressed man was found dead on an Australian beach with no ID, no known cause of death, and a Persian poem torn into a scrap in his pocket. For decades, he remained nameless. Was he a spy, a jilted lover, or a victim of foul play? This cinematic true crime investigation dives deep into one of the world’s most haunting cold cases—from the strange suitcase and the coded book to the emotional unraveling of a family that may not be his. In 2022, a DNA match finally gave the Somerton Man a name. But the truth only raised more questions. Who was Carl Webb? And why did he die in silence?
