In this episode, we go over the mysterious case of the Somerton Man—the unknown body found on an Australian beach in 1948 with no ID, no cause of death, and no signs of a struggle. Dressed sharp, staged like he sat down for a smoke and just… died. But the deeper investigators dug, the stranger it got.

A hidden pocket. A cipher no one’s ever cracked. A nurse who recognized him but swore she didn’t. And a torn piece of paper tucked in his pants that simply read: Tamám Shud.Was he a spy? A victim of Cold War assassination? Or something even stranger?

We break it all down—clues, autopsy, theories, and more. And this is just Part One.


So the next time you and your loved one decide to take a late night stroll on the sand… you might want to check who else is already there.

This is True Terror on Tap.
