The Somerton Man ..

Who’s who here?

This is Norman Webb, born 1921, aged about 16 in 1936.

The young fellow reclining on the grass has been labelled as Leo Keane by Stuart Webb, who also claims the photo was taken in the mid twenties. Others claim he is really Norman Webb and the photo was taken in the mid thirties or later.

Some folks might think that re-opening old Somerton Man theories here is a waste of time, others new to the case and wondering why the SA coroner’s office is taking so long to come up with a ruling (2.5 years now) might appreciate a little background.

Why hasn’t somebody else raised these questions about SA forensic’s method of identifying the Somerton Man?

This could be good.

How I see it ..

I don’t believe Carl (Charlie) Webb is the Somerton Man, moreover, I believe the man identified in the photo as Charlie is in fact the other Charlie in the family ..

Some folks think that the Somerton Man being Carl Webb means all the questions have been answered. But maybe not.

There could be another book in this.

'Feltus hates my guts.' Abbott.

If asked, would Derek Abbott be able to prove that the hair he used to identify the Somerton Man as Carl Webb belonged to the body?

Shouldn’t be hard .. Professors are smart. So what do you think his response might be ..

Yes,

or no,

or maybe.

And if it’s a yes, how will he do it.

… or is this a possible explanation?

Carl Webb’s hair.

What do YOU think?

In the initial inquest, coroner Cleland ruled he didn’t know where the Somerton Man died, then he later ruled that the Somerton Man died where he was found.

Why did he change his mind?

Provenance, who needs it?

Provenance is the place of origin, earliest known history, or the documented chain of ownership/custody of an object. It traces an item’s journey from creation to the present, verifying its authenticity, history, and legality in fields like art, archaeology, and computing, including the provenance of competing forensic evidence.
