Casefile Revisited: The Somerton Man

About this episode

Casefile Revisited features newly re-recorded versions of classic episodes, revisiting the stories with enhanced production, fresh narration, and updated research where possible.


In December 1948, the body of an unidentified male was found on Somerton Beach in Adelaide, South Australia. It initially appeared the man had simply passed away in his sleep, but as police looked into his death, they discovered a series of bizarre and unexplainable clues that presented more questions than answers. Was the Somerton Man an international spy? If so, what was he doing in Adelaide? And what significance did the ancient Persian text found in his pocket hold?
