The Somerton Man .. 
Grandpa is a short-arse 5’6″
Grandma is a short-arse 5’0″
And Charlie is about the same as Roy 5’8″ both short-arses
and not 5’11” like Somerton man
Interestingly Humphrey Bogart was a short-arse 5’8″ and Ingrid Bergman was 5’9″ so they made some platforms to go under his shoes that he strapped on so that he looked taller than her. That’s how they shot Casablanca, with a bit of trickery. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=772417584700479&id=100057967334737&set=a.145693114039599
A bit of trickery here too. Charlie is standing back 20 meters and he has super long arms, so some would have us believe. Nah, he’s typical of the family height and he’s 5’8″ They’re a short-arse family and they are all roughly the same. Short.
And some more trickery, Grandma and Roy were moved to the (our) right and Charlie slotted in using photoshop. The photo is a fake, shadows on clothes, hands, length of arms give it away. So we can’t compare Charlie to anyone in this photo anyway because he wasn’t originally in it

Alan Ladd was quite short, I read somewhere that all his co-stars had to stand in a trench in order to make Ladd a ‘normal’ height! Could be a tall story? Paul Lawson told me that he reckoned the SM was about 6 foot.

No 1 … never bullshit a bullshitter … the sun is hitting the four of them in all the right places. Play the game sport.

Simple. Can they produce the photo for inspection, with all four of them in it. Grandpa, Grandma, Roy, Charlie. Then we can all accept it and work from that.

We’ve got the photo … either you accept it or not, and by the way, according to his arrest record the old man is 5’8” – same as Royo
And I notice that Cramer has decided to join the party .. he must be desperate if he’s following me around.

“We aren’t disputing the work done by Colleen Fitzpatrick in identifying the Somerton Man as being Charles Carl Webb….”
I am….
The hair sample belongs to Charles Carl Webb but that doesn’t mean the corpse on the beach does. CCW had different colour hair, different height and a different “boat race” to the bod deady…
