1 – Start at the beginning, again.
Over the next little while the plan is to re-post the more relevant from the over 176 posts accumulated here since 2016, the view being that there might be some information in them that is not available in other sites or is too hard to find.
This post was first published in April 2016.

The Somerton Man .. 
Pete…Fascinating to watch, hypnotic. An amazing job in putting pics together and love the sprinkling of humour. Isn’t collaboration, sharing and trust a wonderful thing, and what a great result. Have you guys considered dabbling into the movie business? Or are slide show evenings more the pace these days.

Does Jessica’s handwriting match the inscription on Boxall’s Rubaiyat?
Does the portly Cleland look as if one of the broad -shouldered Somerton Man’s coats was a ‘snug’ fit?
Would it have been possible that a Red Cross nurse working at the George’s Head Convalescent Hospital was recruited to pass on overheard information to the Australian Communist Party?

Remember when….Adelaide Advertiser 1st. Oct. 2016 reported “a remarkable series of physical similarities for investigators to conclude a 99% probability the two were related”… That was enough evidence it seems to convince American forensic genealogist Colleen Fitzpatrick to publicly announce that “SM was from the U.S. East coast Virginia, with strong links to Native American and Thomas Jefferson”. This was DA and the powers of persuasion at work…’the magician’ I think was the term Mr. Feltus used. The matching two of course, were SM and Robin Thomson. As Charles Webb’s backstory could also have these same investigators conclude a 99% probability, it feels like we’ve been here before. So in order to be totally convinced, I’d like to see a mole above Charles Webbs lip, an SM ear match , and some dental comparisons. It shouldn’t be hard to find the same facial details for Charles Webb, if these were enough to give Robin Thomson a 99% probability match to SM back in 2016. While the contenders may have changed, SM’s morgue shots haven’t.
