Urgent Memo to the SA Coroner
Sir, you may not realise that your relaxed approach in finalising the results of the Somerton Body case has effected my readers to such a degree most of them have buggered off and are enjoying sites not peripheral to the subject matter- they have become dissociated; ask Nick Pelling, nothing since April.
This situation is deplorable, a tragedy.
Some of my most regular and trusted commentators, all hard earned by exhaustive elimination processes have abandoned the site, men and women of high learning and razor-sharp intellect. Lost. Tomsbytwo is the forgotten man here and you are the one responsible.
Given that, it is my intention to travel to Adelaide in the very near future and encamp on the footpath by the front door of the Coroner’s Court, providing it has the capacity to accommodate the many thousands who are expected to accompany me and if you think this will be a useless exercise then let me assure you this protest will attract many disgruntled locals, not to mention those who will willingly travel from far and wide.
We are not happy.
Respectfully, Pete Bowes.

In order to facilitate this pending demonstration, and to be sure those who have decided to show up have the proper facilities required for what may be some hours encamped on the streets of Adelaide, the organising committee have decided to provide food and drink for the participants – sausage rolls, meat pies, baked bean sandwiches, this being so we earnestly request that you make a small contribution to the cost of same.
And in order to facilitate your concerns we hope it does not trouble you to supply your banking details, and rest assured, we have your interests at heart.
I remain your voice in this matter.

The reason that every sensible person has stopped commenting on this case is that it’s yesterday’s papers. All the smart folk have moved on to investigate the Great King Parrot Creek Skeleton Woman Mystery. Just in case you had forgotten Pete, as inabiskit put it in their recent three part write up on Reddit:
“In 1954, a farmhand discovers the skeletal remains of a woman embedded in the banks of a creek in country Victoria, Australia. Despite a media frenzy and a wealth of publicly available information, the case eventually fades into total obscurity…”

Do you do links? Anyways I’m sure our old mate David Morgan is onto it as we speak. As for myself I’m as happy as a pig in shit. I have just made the biggest breakthrough in the Yuba County Five case EVER! Look out for my name in lights in the coming days. Just call me Supersleuth. FYI it was the “town bully” and – as a staunch anti-conspiracy theorist I hate this by the way – the Freemasons (yes, honest, I have proved a connection beyond all doubt). They were all loggers and Past Masters of the local Lodge – or relatives of said gentlemen!

You’re being a bit harsh there, Steve, all the sensible people are just waiting for the coroner’s ruling .. and even if he finds Carl Webb is the man plenty of mystery remains.
There are too many gaps in evidence and police failings for a few of us to sign off the case. Too many to ignore.
Something was afoot with that fellow ..
So don’t go away.

I hate to be the grammar-nazi Pete (ok, maybe I don’t), but shouldn’t it be affected not effected?
Affect = Verb = “impact or change”
Effect = Noun = “result (of a change)”
Effected does sometimes get used these days, but it means “put into effect” rather than “impacted”

One thing that Cramer avoids having to deal with is where and from whom Boxall and Harkness received their training in the exotic arts of clandestine coding – to date he claims to have identified three different types used both in the code and the Rubaiyat and where he once claimed that the two were involved in exchanging secret messages, he now says the Rubaiyat was only a training manual.
This was the only way he could explain why Boxall was waving it around in front of a camera…

I’ll go back to what I said probably a year back.
The coroner desperately wants to pin the ID to Webb, no matter what, and then cremate the body…putting the whole cover-up to bed forever.
But I expect they are worried sick that one of our sleuths is waiting in the wings with totally unshakeable evidence that the body is nothing to do with any of the Webb family.
This “wait and see” tactic is being heavily accommodated (either on purpose or unwittingly) by the local media’s total lack of curiosity on why the analysis on the body…and the report…is taking so friggin long.

Guzz Rating: I’m sure if the SM was suspected to be an old sports star, from South Australia it would be guaranteed, to be on the front cover of “The Advertiser”, 6 days a week. Perhaps, the editor of said newspaper, has had someone whisper in his ear not to print anything, if so, what could the big secret?
LikeLike
Clive…obviously it’s only speculation on my part but I think the reason for the “big secret” as to SM’s identity is that, if he were positively and truthfully identified, then the whole thing of who killed him…and why…would unravel very quickly. (And Gawd knows, the authorities have never wanted that!)
When Charles Webb was named, I think we all thought that within weeks we’d all know the “who” and the “why”…yet three years down the line no one has even come up with a coherent reason for Webb being in Adelaide at all…let alone the rest of it.
The only thing interesting about Webb is the total inconspicuousness of the guy. Shit…we can’t even find a photo of the bugger later than about 1929!
He was barely a household name in his own house. Manna from heaven for someone who wanted to pin the SM identity onto someone else. Whoever gave Abbott those hair samples certainly did their homework.

“The Man Who Never Was” comes to mind. When you come to think of it, look at the countless refugees from WW2 who landed on these shores. A lot of them probably had false papers or, lost their i.d. due to the war etc. A few knew relatives living in Australia, but to so many, it was chance for a new life and, they kept their heads down and got a job. An anonymous man in his 40’s could easily be the SM, especially if he had no relatives, kept to himself, hardly spoke English etc.

Clive, this is a good analogy as the person exhumed never knew he would become so anonymously famous. He was just surviving day to day around the parks of Adelaide when he wasn’t in the home being tended to by Jess. Just so Chuckles could slip across the waves to anonymity himself.

And if this anonymous man, looking for a job, any job and money, was approached by someone. This someone offered him easy money, just dropping off envelopes to certain properties, no questions asked or answered. Then one day, the authorities acted and no one was the wiser, apart from that someone, who chose another to do his bidding.
