Summary

Sara and Danny take a look at one of the most well-known mysteries from Australia, the death of the Somerton Man. They dive into the unexplained circumstances under which the body of the unidentified man was found, and the few clues that investigators were able to find. They also get into the cryptic piece of paper found in his pocket, which only said "Tamam Shud." Then they discuss the various theories that have been circulated throughout the years about the identity of the man and the cause of his death, and why investigators believe that they finally might be getting some concrete answers to their questions. To end the show, they play a game called "A Milllion Ways To Die On A Beach," where they try to deduce which are the deadliest dangers on a beach. Learn more about your ad choices.
