Last week, we uncovered a body with no name, a rare book with a torn page, and a strange code scribbled in pencil. Now, the phone number found in that book leads us straight to Jessica Thomson—a woman just blocks from the crime scene, who denies knowing the man but nearly collapses when she sees his face.
And decades later, her story only gets weirder.
We’ll dig into her wartime connection to Alf Boxall—who turned out to be alive—and the strange twist involving her son, Robin, a dancer with the same rare physical traits as the dead man. Was the Somerton Man his father?
Enter Professor Derek Abbott—an Australian physicist who falls deep into the case and ends up marrying Jessica’s granddaughter. What starts as an investigation turns into obsession, love, and a decades-long search for the truth.
From wartime secrets to tangled DNA—this one’s just heating up.
This is True Terror on Tap.
