Though it would be nice to tidy them up.
Dorothy Webb's Affidavit makes for very ugly reading in that it describes in detail the atrocious behaviour of Carl Webb, her violent and abusive husband.
His two years and nine months in uniform.
You have to sniff around this mystery like a bloodhound, in this case tracking Prosper’s classified footprints prior to Webb showing up in SA.

Derek Abbott claims success. Colleen Fitzpatrick claims success.
SA police have no comment to make, neither verifying or confirming this claim.
Abbott has found Webb had a brother-in-law named Thomas Keane who lived in Brunswick, and believes the sharp objects were likely used in his work as instrument maker.
Abbott found family records showing he wrote poetry and liked a punt on the racehorses.
The following lifted from CNN, article written by Hilary Whiteman.
Who was Carl ‘Charles’ Webb?
According to Abbott, Webb was born on November 16, 1905 in Footscray, a suburb of Victoria’s state capital Melbourne. He was the youngest of six siblings.
Little is known about his early life, Abbott says, but he later married Dorothy Robertson — known as Doff Webb.
When Webb emerged as the prime person of interest on the family tree, Abbott and Fitzpatrick set to work, scouring public records for information about him. They checked electoral rolls, police files and legal documents. Unfortunately, there were no photos of him to make a visual match.
“The last known record we have of him is in April 1947 when he left Dorothy,” said Fitzpatrick, founder of Identifinders International, a genealogical research agency involved in some of America’s most high-profile cold cases.
“He disappeared and she appeared in court, saying that he had disappeared and she wanted to divorce,” Fitzpatrick said. They had no known children.

A definitive list (including items under dispute) of what was found and what might have been missing. The only clues we have as to where Carl Webb was and what he was doing before arriving in Adelaide.
There are many unanswered questions regarding same..
There comes a time when the accumulation of doubts leads to a different conclusion, one that allows us to step around the official facade to glimpse what it may be hiding.
As a personal note, my medical qualifications only extend to the ability to Google various medical words and phrases, find what I'm looking for then cut and paste it here.
Some of TSM’s medical conditions appear (to the layman’s eye) to be interrelated, but there is little doubt he needed medical assistance.
Fifty four years later .. and this is how that went.
