The Somerton Man: The Tamám Shud Mystery

On December 1, 1948, the body of an unidentified man was discovered on Somerton Beach in South Australia.
He carried no identification. Labels had been removed from his clothing. Hidden in a tiny pocket was a mysterious piece of paper bearing two words: “Tamám Shud” “finished.”
Then came a copy of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam, strange handwritten letters that looked like a code, an unexplained telephone number, suspicions of poisoning, and theories of Cold War espionage.
For more than seventy years, the world knew him only as the Somerton Man.
Then modern genetic genealogy offered an extraordinary possibility: the mysterious stranger may finally have a name — Carl “Charles” Webb.
But solving his identity did not solve his death.
Why was Webb in Adelaide? What did the mysterious writings mean? Was the Rubáiyát a crucial clue or an extraordinary coincidence? And how did he die?
In this episode of Traces of Truth, we separate evidence from speculation and revisit one of Australia’s most enduring mysteries.
We may finally know his name. But do we really know what happened to him?
