Shared DNA
Charlie Webb wore his nephew John Russell Keane’s clothes. He and his nephew shared the same DNA. There is the possibility that Keane’s hair was the one used by Derek Abbott and Dr Colleen Fitzpatrick.

The Somerton Man .. 
If the hair sample doesn’t match the corpse sample then Abbott’s reputation will be under serious scrutiny.
Questions like “how and where, EXACTLY, did you obtain it…pal”…might be asked.
It always seemed strange (or, “luckily coincidental”, for Abbott) that this random hair matched someone who had seemingly not been photographed by anyone since that family gathering. Someone who we could never be absolutely certain of.
Anyway…if the corpse DNA isn’t Webb’s, I suppose all bets are back on it matching Harkness’s kid…so Mrs Abbott might have to dust down the SM portrait, bring it down from the loft and re-nail it to the kitchen wall again.

Similar farce to that of the Sydney Carley float body ID’d by much the same preferential DNA and personalised geni fit and match methodolgy. Confirmation for KIA Able Seaman Tom Clark, was coincidental with the release of a book on the Qld based James Clark South Sea trading empire. Released to predictable well received scholastic accaim by Tom’s National University based “carried me as a babe on his last home leave in mid ’41” rels.

Better be intellectually corrupt than bankrupt if one has a choice.

End of the day, when forensics come forth with supporting DNA evidence for Carl Webb being SM, now a done deal it seems for likes of Abbott, Pelling and FB followers, what cannot be proven to any resumed inquest be evidence of continuity. For that to be possiblle Sapol would need to prove beyond any doubt that SM’s grave had not been breached or otherwise tampered with from when Scan Sutherland sealed the coffin prior to burial on 17th June 1949 until exhumation 18th May 2021.
