Description

In today's episode, we're heading to Somerton Beach in Adelaide, Australia, where a man was found dead in 1948 — with no ID, and labels cut from his clothes. Police found a small scrap of paper with the words “Tamám Shud" in a hidden pocket of his clothing. It was torn from a copy of the Persian poetry book Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám. Although the phrase means "it is finished," for investigators, the mystery was just beginning.
