Conspiracies & the Unknown: The Somerton Man

In 1948, an unidentified man was found dead on an Australian beach with no wallet, no ID, and a cryptic message hidden in his clothing. Despite decades of investigation, his identity, and cause of death, remained a mystery. Was he a spy, a poisoned lover, or something else entirely?

For today's second episode, Carter Roy unpacks one of the world’s most enduring cold cases, filled with coded messages, missing clues, and a relentless search for the truth that continues more than 70 years later.
