7. The Taman Shud Case
On December 1, 1948 a man was found dead on Somerton Beach in AdeLaide, Australia. In a hidden pocket of the man’s pants a piece of paper was found with the words “taman shud” on it. Those words was later translated to mean, “finished” or “the end” in Persian. Despite many years of effort, the man’s identity remains unknown. It is also not known exactly how he died, although it is believed to have been caused by an unknown poison.
