Soon we will know who the Somerton Man was, or was not.

The website at the bottom of this post is where we can expect to read where the facts of the Somerton Body Case will be finally published and his identity confirmed as being Carl Webb or not.

This investigation has been a complicated years long exercise as it has involved the Australian Federal Police, Forensic Science South Australia, SAPOL and various un-named overseas institutions, possibly but not necessarily including the institution used by the Abbott Fitzpatrick investigation and which resulted in their decision confirming the Somerton Man was Carl Webb.

And it has been a long journey indeed.

So be the first to know ..

    The SA Coroner better get his skates on because, according to my “YouTube Recommended channels”, it’s the end of the world (again) on 8th of April.

    Sumfink to do with an eclipse and the CERN hydrogen collider being cranked up on the same day.

    It’ll be pretty heartbreaking to go to my death not knowing that SM isn’t Webb (even though I know he isn’t, NO MATTER what that dodgy report will say.)

    If not Carl/SM, then I’m sure that Paul Lawson will be happy to explain.

      Took quite awhile to finaly pin down SM’s real ID, plus initiative initiative and investigative nouse. Punters can be assured that Hee Haw Bray and Safcol still have not a clue who SM be even when pointed in the right direction

      Don’t think too hard min, George be more likely British heritage with a Perthshire lilt, if’n the RAF tie and his tartan scarf be anything to go by.

    Well, the RAF tie and the tartan scarf could both be ‘props’ as found in the suitcase?

  6. The list of items sent back to Keane’s family after his death and found by NickP did not include a white tie.

      ..and guess what all the items you mentioned might have been either made or readily purchased in Australia. Even a genuine Tennessee coon skin Davy Crocket cap could be had locally in days of yourn. Ask tpt resident mule skinner Byron Deveson.

  9. No One - Carl Webb's profile doesn't fit #

    There are many items linked to the US

    The US striped tie (they still wear them) probably from Cain-Sloan, Nashville TN. I have one exactly the same from there.

    The US khaki tie

    The US feather stitched jacket

    The US shoes Bostonians

    The US Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit chewing gum (Yanks chew gum)

    The US Jockey underwear

    The US style laundry markings

    The name Keane or Kean has strong history links in TN

    Some items he had may have been purchased in Sydney on his arrival by Pan Am and while waiting for his connecting flight to Melbourne by domestic airline.

    There are too many US items for me to not say he was American or from the US or that was his last port of call. Everything says he came to Australia from the US at that time.

    I don’t like the simpletons answer of Carl Webb. His profile just doesn’t fit.

  10. I just had a look back at Wikipedia and the whole SM thing has been rebuilt with a lawyer putting up a candidate. And it’s one that didn’t get a mention till now. I don’t like the way this is heading.

    Holban’s done and dusted as a serious contender seeing’s he died years later in Salzburg Austria. Think it was intended as a joke, his facial profile being a dead spitter for the professor.
