Missing Pieces: The Curious Case of the Somerton Man (2018)

Who is he?

The Somerton Man mystery has baffled a global audience for over 70 years. A dead body found on Adelaide's Somerton Beach has never been identified. Now a new documentary, including interviews with friends, witnesses and detectives who worked on the case, some now in their 100's, reveals a fascinating first hand view of this extraordinary, enduring mystery. Was he murdered? Did he commit suicide? Why did he have a tiny piece of paper in his pocket with the words "Tamam Shud"? Missing Pieces examines the case in detail and cast new light on the woman he came to visit.
