...CONTINUING THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH...
We are the leading fact, evidence-based, and authoritative blog on the Somerton Man case.
The TAMAM SHUD case, all began with the discovery of the body of a man on Somerton Beach, South Australia on Dec. 1st 1948. He had been poisoned. No identification was found on the man or at the scene, and there were no signs of violence. The sand around the body was undisturbed.
The discovery of secret codes and a local telephone number add to this enduring mystery,
UNVEILING THE TRUTHS OF THE SOMERTON MAN CASE
Our blog's journey began in 2013, springing from my deep involvement with Professor Derek Abbot's Facebook page, 'The World Search For A Rare Copy of The Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam'. I joined this vibrant community in late 2009 and had the privilege to engage in enlightening discussions with leading researchers of the Somerton Man mystery. Notably, my exchanges with ex-Detective Sergeant Gerry Feltus, who once held the Somerton Man case file as a Cold Case, left a profound impression. Gerry's integrity and keen attention to detail stood out; a true embodiment of an 'Old School' copper deserving of utmost respect. I owe a great deal to Gerry and to the members of the Inner Sanctum Facebook group that spun off from the initial FB pages. We were also privileged to have numerous discussions with the late Paul Lawson, another good man of integrity. Paul shared some significant facts about his knowledge of the case and the making of the plaster bust. Those details have been shared with SAPOL.
I also hold in high regard the original investigators from 1948 and beyond. Facing challenges that we can scarcely imagine today, they undoubtedly gave their best, under difficult circumstances to unravel the mystery.
On January 21st, 2013, our blog took its first steps into the digital world. Over the years, we've been fortunate to welcome thousands of readers. By March 2024, we celebrated a significant milestone, surpassing 1 million page views and penning 899 insightful posts.
Our inaugural post delved into 'micro writing', a claim and accompanying evidence that has stood firm.
As we write this, we eagerly anticipate unveiling even more substantial evidence. Five years ago, we shared the initial decoded words from a previously hidden code. Since then, further discoveries have been revealed including the finding of a coded name DANETTA in TIBOR KALDOR's last letter and elsewhere.
Additionally, we identified three different encryption methods including the HILL CIPHER, MORBIT CIPHER, and recently the NIHILIST CIPHER, a tool once used by Soviet agents in WW2.
Amid the diverse theories surrounding the Somerton Man – from the 'rare' ear type, anodontia to the Love Child hypothesis and erroneous DNA connections – we remain committed to the pursuit of truth. Recently, the Carl 'Charles' Webb theory has emerged, and though it awaits concrete substantiation it is not something that this blog supports.
Many thanks to all who visit these pages, your support and encouragement means a great deal.

Why would anyone tamper with the image file? Who stands to gain from doing this? Every Letter on the page and the join between the two pages contains concealed micro writing/code.
Below you can see two images from the original Stuart Littlemore/Alf Boxall interview video:
You can clearly see that the name JESTYN has been covered over with tape, the version we now use had the tape removed.
In this next image you will see that the left page, opened to verse 70 of the book, has no marking at the top:
And yet in the Abbott copy there is a clear cross-like mark visible:
You can view the video here:
The evidence is here, deliberate tampering to hide the presence of micro writing which has now been proven, again and again, confirmation from Detective Brown's words, 'The telephone numbers were in really tiny lettering' and from Paul Lawson's interview with Clive, 'It was Loveday that found the tiny writing, not CIB'. It has been demonstrated on this blog and in the next post, I will show it's presence again in a most unexpected place.
Sadly for the amateur sleuths and trolls, they have been unable to disprove what has been proved on this blog.
With respect, I take it you have limited experience of image storage on digital media?
This amateur sleuth therefore counsels caution. You need to make sure you understand the meaning of 'date modified' in a file directory.
Since you're assuming Apple software was used, I did a little 'sleuthing' and found this basic introduction to the issue you highlight. I hope it is helpful:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8336260
Just in case your readers don't want to read it all, I'll precis: 'date modified' can change just by accessing (opening) the file, as that can cause metadata changes. This is normal behaviour.
Happy to help - in the spirit of cordial collaboration, which must (alas) include advice and correctives at times.
Ha! I'll pay that :) But it wasn't Apple editing software, it was in fact paint.net version 3.5.11, Version 3.5 was released in 2009. The computer used was a Mac. its operating system was 10.7.4. If you go to fotoforensics.com and upload the image in question, (there are two images, one being cropped, you don't want the cropped one), here's the link to a downloadable copy of the original version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dEKvRMYIhzznZ8Rh7qAu3gEu1hQ0-1G8/view?usp=sharing
The fotoforensics site will give you extensive data to work with plus an interesting view under the ELA option.
Please note that this is the one sent to me by Professor Abbott in 2016. Nick Pelling also had one sent but that was early 2013 and it was a cropped version thus it carried no EXIF data. However, it had been greyed over and matched the one I have in appearance.
I will henceforth exclude you from the 'Amateur sleuth' category! My apologies if it caused offence.
It seems that a well known and self-confessed plagiarist from another blog, Pete Bowes, has taken to direct copying of the work that has been done on this blog for the past 7 years. All he had to do was ask but apparently he just prefers to take things.
You are such a disappointment Pete. You used to have the ability, you were creative, honest, and you worked hard but lately that's all gone out of the window.
Pete, I have just read your email and now, seen your post. With great respect, you do have a reputation and it precedes you. In this post above, you will see the exact same image of the open book in the YouTube video that you have used in your later post, you took it from a different angle and from a distance but it's the exact same page with and referenced to the signature and the torn area next to ut. You will also see the written reference to the taped area in this post and your later post.
With regards to your self confession, here's a couple of comments lifted from the CM blog:

Of course we don’t hear much from that great site these days and must as the question, why?

You know that you do it Pete, the sadness I have is that you used to be original with your work. We used to be friends or, so I thought. But these days to paraphrase a line from a song, We both know that real friends are hard to come by.
In the end it doesn't amount to much though does it. It's not as if we both don't have enough going on in our worlds. As you can see I've removed my daughters name from the JS comment. Did you know that I only gave two people her name? That would be you and Clive. And somehow JS has used it in his comment above, just like he used it on your blog except it was creepier on your blog. You have no idea what damage the creepy reference he made regarding her has done.
So, Pete, there's your answer, you have my view. You do have a reputation mate, you constantly change your comments and your posts and remove them on a regular basis.
I hope you get back to your old self, like you once said, I also enjoyed the chats we used to have.
When you come back, here's a deal for you, you can use anything from the Tamam Shud blog, all I ask is that you acknowledge it's source. I have always done that for you whenever I have used anything from the TBT blog.
I sincerely wish you well.
For followers of this blog reading this comment: I hope you will forgive this break in the normal way we conduct business. It won't be happening again. On a happier note, we will cruise past 10,000 visits this month, I appreciate the support and the interest that you have shown and given to the blog. There are maybe six or seven more posts to go before they, and this blog come to an end. I will do my best to deliver the best content and posts that I can. Even when it's all done, there's always the after life :)
