    Unsolved Taman Shud Case - The Somerton Man

    I wonder if Harkness was Jessica's mum's maiden name? Can happen, if she no longer wanted to have her dad's surname. Could happen due to an abusive father or incest rape. Especially if she didn't want the resultant baby to have her father's surname. Sent from my HTC 2PQ910 using Tapatalk

    Yes. Konstantin Volkov had the goods on Philby, Burgess & McLean and he was only asking for £27,500 and a promise of political asylum to give up the names.

    Very few clues to his age. The few pages released in his ASIO file just say EYL member. Doesn't say whether he was an organiser or music/dance coach, or just an ordinary member. The fact that it's still embargoed suggests the former rather than the later, and someone of some importance. The...

    Photography is a funny thing. Especially in the days before automatic exposures. The f stop, shutter speed, lighting, the type of film, and how it's developed all make huge differences to the final photograph. It could well produce vastly different images of the same subject. The black and white...

    On the other hand... Maybe Somerton Man was redressed and placed upon the beach. Maybe the suitcase was also left to be found as a decoy.
