Who is SomertonMan?
Is he Carl Webb AKA Somerton Man??

Will the South Australian Coroner confirm that Somerton Man is Carl Webb? Or will he confirm that Somerton Man is Viennese Miliner, communist and atomic spy Carl Josef Halban who was nominated to SAPOL by Sophie Holsman on 4 January 2022. Or will authorities refute the overwhelming forensic evidence before them which supports Halban as SM and make no finding....again.

Previous forensic analysis of Somerton Man's hairs, provided to the University of Adelaide by the expert witness in the Somerton Case, Mr Paul Lawson MBE revealed abnormally high levels of strontium 90 in SM's hair. Professor Abbott who claims SM to be Carl Webb previously supervised a project entitled "Who killed Somerton Man" which concluded that by virtue of the strontium 90 in SM's hair, SM must have visited another country before travelling to Adelaide. As Carl Webb never travelled internationally, this alone rules Webb out as the man who died on Somerton Beach on 1 December 1948.

Was SM a spy, or a victim of a conspired killing?
Was there ever a cover up of his identity?
Did the visit of Mi6 soviet mole hunter and Mi6 Australian station chief, Robert Victor Hemblys-Scales to Adelaide weeks earlier, to visit Dr Lica Sprod who had once studied indigenous tribal use of exotic poisions in Indonesia, have anything to do with this case?
Dr Elizabeth Theodora Johanna Stoffelina 'Lica' Sprod is the sister in law of Sir Douglas Mawson, OBE FRS FAA and became the Aunty in law of Robert Hemblys-Scales the following year.

Did he die of natural causes, poisioning, exposure to toxic substances, suicide, assassination or murder?

Were other multiple deaths linked to this case?
SM was deemed the author of the code page; what bearing does the code within it have on the case? Was it a Russian one-time pad.

What happened to Carl Webb's widow, Dorothy Jean Webb ?
Why did she not identify him?
Why are there no photos of Dorothy Webb and Carl "Charles" Webb?
Who was she associated with at the time? Were they involved in his death?
Why did Dr John Barkly Bennett not recognise his own cousin in law?

What had Jessica Ellen Thomson and or associates have to do this him being in Adelaide and were they involved in his death? Why was her address written on SM's suitcase? Why did SAPOL withhold her name? Why are there no birth or death certificates for her or her son Robin?

Is his death directly linked to the death of Viennese Jew Dr Tibor Káldor 2 weeks later?
Tibor was a relative of William Peter Sher, AM who was Carl Webb's employer at Red Point Tool Company. Sher was also Viennese, as was Carl Halban, who also used the name Charles.

Also related to Sher is Major Sydney Arthur Hunn, OBE, MVO, MC, CdeG, MID who was found deceased from a gun shot to the head in 1942 in the Park in Melbourne opposite the Army Signals Directorate.

Why does the evidence left behind by Webb, including his affiliation with Viennese Sher and Kaldor, also align with the Viennese atomic spy nominated to SAPOL on January 2022. Was Webb his legend?

Are ASIO files related to people at the Red Point Tool Company, Mount Painter geologists, and other associates of Sir Mark Oliphant and communists in government circles connected to this case?
Why does Dr Dwyer, the pathologist involved in this case,appear as a nominated referee in security pass applications to visit Woomera in the ASIO files of the SA Uranium geologist, Dr Reginald Claude Sprigg, BSc, 1942; MSc, 1944; AO 1983, Dr
After he left his planned itinerary for social visits to a senior officer at Woomera why did ASIO approve the following year's security pass application when he nominated Sir Douglas Mawson and Sir Mark Oliphant as referees, but no longer Dr Dwyer?

One of those ASIO files belongs to Dr John Stanley Gooden who died of a disease associated with radiation exposure. Dr Gooden worked with Sir Mark Oliphant in Birmingham and had visited the Manhattan Project. He died within weeks of arriving in Adelaide in 1950. His wife, Claire Russel Crocker was Sir Mark Oliphant's private secretary, and she is mentioned in many different ASIO files, yet she never had a file created for herself. Why is that?

Carl Halban also had intimate familial connections at the Manhattan Project and was overseas in 1947-1948. Somerton Man had an abnormally large spleen which the expert witness Paul Lawson believed was related to exposure to atomic material.

The Tamám Shud case, also known as the Mystery of the Somerton Man, is an unsolved case of an unidentified man found dead at 6:30 am, 1 December 1948, on the Somerton Park beach, just south of Adelaide, South Australia. Died: 1 December 1948; Somerton, South Australia.

Whilst his resting place is alleged to be West Terrace Cemetery, Adelaide, South Australia; Gravesite: P3, 12, 106, the expert witness's 1949 diary describes a meeting with Detectives and a call from police relating to the disposal of the original body. At an undisclosed date, the grave was also interfered with and modified - why?

Born: c. 1903 Known for: Mysterious death Other names: Unknown Man (police terminology), Somerton Man

This project is a collection of as many profiles and their trees that are connected to the Somerton Mystery as possible in an effort to eventually discover the cause of death of Somerton Man. Profiles can be added to the project that are vicariously connected in anyway e.g. similar like cases, or connected to theories, people, events, organisations and agencies etc. Add how the person is connected to the case in the profiles info about box when adding to this project if you can.
