This short clip from Casefile True Crime Podcast, Episode 2 (2016), about the 'Somerton Man' case, details some interesting findings in the coroner's report which in turn leads to growing media and public interest.

Police detectives also unearthed some peculiar clues, and what looks to be a mysterious code, during their investigation.

The 'Somerton Man' is the case of an unidentified man found dead on Somerton Beach near Adelaide on 1 December 1948.

The mystery also became known the 'Tamam Shud case' and, to this day, the man's identity and the truth about how he met his fate are still unknown.
