====The Case====
At 6:30am on December 1st 1948, a man was found deceased on Somerton Beach, South Australia, resting on the rock wall at the top of the beach. The victim contained no form of identification and his fingerprints and dental records didn't match any international registries.  The only items on his body were some cigarettes, chewing gum, a comb, an unused train ticket and a used bus ticket.

The report from the autopsy identified the man's stomach and kidneys were congested and there was excess blood in his liver; this suggested that his death was unnatural, and most likely the cause of an unknown poison.  44 years later, in 1994 under a review of the case, it was suggested that the death fits that of the poison digitalis.

A month and a half later, a suitcase was found left at Adelaide Railway Station and believed to belong to the victim.  However none of these items contained any further clues on the identity of the man or his killer.
