Discovered on Somerton Beach near Adelaide, Australia in December 1948 was a man lying against a sea wall. Thought to have been sleeping it was soon found out he was dead. With no identification, no signs of violence, and virtually no clues but a piece of an 11th century book hidden in a secret pocket, his name has never been revealed. Several theories have emerged about who is was, including stories of a secret love child, and international spies. As you listen the Australian Government has exhumed his remains and are beginning to re-examine the case. Hopefully soon we can finally put this 73 year old mystery to rest. Who do you think he is?
