The Somerton Man (Taman Shud)

TRUE CRIME - On this episode we take on one of Australia's most mysterious deaths in the shape of The Somerton Man also known as The Taman Shud Case. A man found on the beach in Adelaide with no ID, no next of kin, some strange items on his person and, as it turned out, a very secretive local history. Was there some international spy carry on? Maybe a murder to hide some embarrassing secrets? Who knows but some new scientific revelations could shine some light on the identity of the man at least.Jarlath Regan joins me on this episode and you can find his chart topping show called 'An Irishman Abroad' here https://apple.co/2QHG8E4 and check out his Patreon page here http://www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad where you will find his other podcasts 'Men Behaving Better' and 'An Irishman Behind Bars' or if you want to hear the episode where I join him on his show to talk about podcasting, life and loads more you can find that here https://apple.co/2QDFaZx________________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.
