The Tamám Shud Case: Australia's Strangest Unsolved Mystery

On December 1st, 1948, a well-dressed man was found dead on an Australian beach. No ID. No labels in his clothing. No fingerprints on file. Hidden in his pocket was a scrap of paper with two words: "Tamám Shud" — meaning "It is finished." For 74 years, his identity remained a mystery. Police chased leads through secret codes, Cold War espionage theories, and a mysterious woman who seemed to know more than she would admit. In 2022, advanced DNA technology finally revealed his name: Carl "Charles" Webb. But knowing his name doesn't solve the mystery. Why was he on that beach? How did he die? What was the code for? And why did he erase every trace of his identity? This is the story of the Somerton Man — one of history's strangest unsolved mysteries. 💬 What's YOUR theory about the Somerton Man?
