1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: On a stormy night on the small island of Guernsey,

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: a young paranormal expert joins a skeptical history teacher to

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: record the first in a series of podcasts based on

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: the island's incredible folklore and paranormal history. As the expert

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: regales his horrifying stories, the teacher learns that we all

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: have our own truth, our own story ghosts that haunt us.

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: Starring Olivier nominated actor and former Blue Peter legend Peter Duncan,

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: When Darkness Falls is a spine chilling ghost story that

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 1: delivers a twisted, terrifying and thrilling tale that The Guardian

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: said will leave you cowering in your seat. Catch the

11
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,760

16
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: two pm on the eleventh of December twenty fifteen when

17
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: a stranger walks into the Clarence Pub in the village

18
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: of Greenfield at the edge of Saddleworth Moore, in Britain's

19
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: Peak District. On brighter days, the nearby Moors can seem

20
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: a place of stark majesty, colored by vibrant tufts of

21
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: pink and purple heather and swathes of thawny grass, a

22
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: place where, from any number of its rocky ledges, you

23
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: feel you need only hold out your hand to reach

24
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: through to the heavens. But on days like these, in

25
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: the dreak and dreariness, the Moors seem charged with a

26
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: far more ominous beauty. Green and grays of their gritstone

27
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: crags are turned black, and all color seems washed from

28
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: the land. The shadow lands at the edge of an

29
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: apocalyptic John Martin painting, perhaps shortly before the ground is

30
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: ripped asunder and the fiery boughs of the earth are

31
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: revealed from below. The man is middle aged, around six

32
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: feet tall and wearing a cedar brown mac He has

33
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: white and graying hair at the sides and only a

34
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: small tuft of it on top. After approaching the bar,

35
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: he asks for nothing but directions to the top of

36
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: the mountain, and is pointed towards Chew Reservoir by the

37
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: pub landlord. It's the highest place he can think of

38
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: but one. He warns the man that he will not

39
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: be able to return from after dark. Undeterred, the stranger

40
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: thanks the landlord, and as a light drizzle begins to fall,

41
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: sets off into the gloom. The following morning, on a

42
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: path between the dove Stone and Chew reservoirs, a cyclist

43
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: spots a body lying parallel to the road that was

44
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: oddly unresponsive to the unforgiving rain lashing down and the

45
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: bitter coldness of the air. It's the Stranger from the Clarence.

46
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: When police and Mountain Rescue arrive, they find no form

47
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: of ID, and only some cash train tickets and a

48
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: container emptied of its thyroxine sodium tablets with which to

49
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: determine his identity. In the months that follow, media outlets

50
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: across the globe pick up the news of the body's discovery.

51
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: It's hard not to be intrigued by the mystery of

52
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: why the man who was eventually discovered to have committed

53
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: suicide chose to enter his life in such a way.

54
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: But more than anything, we're gripped by the mystery of

55
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: the man's identity. We seem compelled regardless of whether anonymity

56
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: had been his desire to want to name him, Although

57
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: it's fairly likely that names were used verbally for many

58
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: years before the first to be recorded by Homo sapiens

59
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: appear sometime around three thousand, five hundred to three thousand

60
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: BC in Samaria, Mesopotamia. They were scrawled on to what

61
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: were essentially ancient receipts made from clay. The Cushim tablet,

62
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: thought to describe the transaction of twenty nine thousand and

63
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: eighty six measures of barley, also seems to bear the

64
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: name of the person who'd regulated the transaction. Turn in

65
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: a corner from the combination of two symbols that are

66
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: believed to translate phonetically as Ku and shim, the name

67
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: Kushim may well be the first ever name to be

68
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: recorded in the history of humanity. As writing and language evolve,

69
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: so too does our capacity to comprehend ideas and, by extension,

70
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: the world around us. In this sense, the Cushim tablet

71
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: represents a key moment in the evolution of communities. As

72
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: Yuval Noah Harari notes in Sapiens, A Brief History of Humankind,

73
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: it's a reflection of how increasingly complex societies needed more

74
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: sophisticated ways of keeping track of their engagements. Perhaps the

75
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: recording of the first name marked another transition of sorts,

76
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: moving away from communal ideas into a world whereby we

77
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: all began to think personally about who we were and

78
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: our place in that world, and how, as individuals we

79
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: could shape it. Before the written name, we could leave

80
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: handprints or unique symbols painted on rocks, such as those

81
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: found in the cast caves of Sulawesi in Indonesia, but

82
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: their ownership has long since been lost to time. Without

83
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: recorded evidence to attest to who we were individually, whole

84
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: swathes of society could be forgotten, ignored, and left out

85
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: of the conversation. But now exemplified by Kushim's bureaucratic cornerstone,

86
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: here was the chance for anyone to be able to

87
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: exist in print. You would know we existed, because it

88
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: says so right there. It equipped us with a tool

89
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: with which, even in the most forgotten and marginalized of corners,

90
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: like a New York et artist of the nineteen seventies,

91
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: you could scream your refusal to be ignored in Fire

92
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: and Thunder, emblazoned on the side of a subway carriage

93
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: as it rolled out at the Bronx. In January twenty seventeen,

94
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: after an exhaustive search lasting over a year, the body

95
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: found on Saddleworth Moore was finally identified as being that

96
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: of David Lytton, who'd been living in Lahore, Pakistan for

97
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: the previous ten years, before returning to the UK when

98
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: he decided to take his own life. David's story, as

99
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: described in William Atkins's twenty sixteen article for The Guardian,

100
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: The Mystery of Saddleworth Moore, who was Neil Dovestone, or

101
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: at least what little we know of it has parallels

102
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: with another that began seventy five years earlier on the

103
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: other side of the world. Like all such story, it

104
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: two begins with the discovery of a body. You're listening

125
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: on a ledge of rocks down by the water's edge

126
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: when they found him. Judging by the state of the

127
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: corpse and the newspaper dated twentieth of May nineteen forty

128
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: five tucked neatly under his head, he'd been dead just

129
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: over two weeks. The calm cobalt waters of Sydney's Tailor's

130
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: Bay a little duller than usual that afternoon under the

131
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: overcast skies lapped gently against the rocks below. As the

132
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: officers in spe did the scene. To the left of

133
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: the body, they found a small glass and a half

134
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: emptied bottle of lemonade, next to an open sachet, now

135
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: void of its contents. On his chest, still nestled in

136
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: the grip of his right hand, a small hardcover book

137
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: no more than five inches in length. Pages flapped back

138
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: and forth in the light breeze. As one of the

139
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: officers bent down to pick it up, he blew the

140
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: sand from the cover and held it out to read

141
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: the Rubayat of Omar Khayam printed in gold across the front.

142
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: A quick glance inside revealed a faint cross marked in pencil,

143
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: next to the lines, ah, make the most of what

144
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: we yet may spend before we two into the dust,

145
00:10:54,640 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: descend dust into dust, and under dust to lie, sans song,

146
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: sans singer, and sans end. The man was later identified

147
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: as thirty year old Joseph him Saun Marshal, who lived

148
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: in Sydney for the past six years after arriving from

149
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: Singapore in nineteen thirty nine. Although Joseph would sometimes prefer

150
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: to be called George and the name Marshal had in

151
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: fact been changed from Maschau, an all too common attempt,

152
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 1: perhaps to disguise the family's true Jewish and Bagdaddy heritage

153
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: for fear of how others might receive them. The inquest

154
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: into Joseph's death revealed the empty sachet found next to

155
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: his body to have contained barbituric acid, and death by

156
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: suicide was confirmed. It was also revealed that the night

157
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: before Joseph was thought to have died, he met with

158
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: Gwyneth Dorothy Graham, a young Sydney based hair dresser. Graham,

159
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: who had become close friends with Joseph over the last

160
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: four years or so, attended the inquest as a principal

161
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: witness in the case. Less than two weeks later, Dorothy

162
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: Graham's body was discovered bent over and partially submerged in

163
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: the bath tub of her Roslin Road flat in King's Cross, Sydney.

164
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: Her wrists seemingly cut by the razor blade found at

165
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: the bottom of the bath, yet her autopsy later revealed

166
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: that her death had in fact been caused by drowning.

167
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: Just across from Taylor's Bay, barely three kilometers from where

168
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: Joseph Marshall's body was discovered, lies Chowder Bay, a popular

169
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: scenic spot for twilight walks by the sea or swift

170
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: dips in the sheltered waters of its Grand seapool. One

171
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: especially popular location, owing largely to the Army barracks located nearby,

172
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: was the Clifton Gardens Hotel. Built in a striking Federation style,

173
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: it was perched just a few yards inland from the bay,

174
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: peeking out from a surrounding cover of woodlands, the perfect

175
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: place to spend an evening with friends in the soft

176
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: glow of the winter sun. The perfect place, too, perhaps

177
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: to surreptitiously watch the movement of warships as they pulled

178
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: out of Sydney Harbor, past Watson's Bay and beyond into

179
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: the treacherous waters of the South Pacific. There was something

180
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: special about evenings at the Clifton during wartime, often materializing

181
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: out of the moment, an embodiment of the spirit of

182
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: the age for those only too familiar with how precious

183
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: such moments might ultimately prove to be. One night in

184
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: early August nineteen forty five, around the time of the

185
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: inquest into Joseph Marshall's death, a group of friends from

186
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: the barracks chanced their luck at the hotel's back door,

187
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: despite it being passed the usual six o'clock closing time.

188
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: Moments later, ensconced in the bar and raising toasts to

189
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: the hotel staff for letting them in. One of the group,

190
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: thirty nine year old Army Lieutenant Alfred Boxall, is introduced

191
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: to a young training nurse of the Royal north Shore Hospital.

192
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: The pair strike up an instant rapport, so much so that,

193
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: at only their second meeting, with Boxall due to ship

194
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: out the next day, the nurse is moved to offer

195
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: him a parting gift, a copy of the Rubaiyat of

196
00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: Omar Khayam. Inside the front cover is Britain. Indeed indeed

197
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: repentance oft before I swore? But was I sober when

198
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: I swore? And then came spring and rose in hand

199
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: my threadbare penitents A pieces tour. The number of the

200
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: verse seventy is marked just below, and the inscription is

201
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: signed Jest. In the following day, Boxall leaves for the

202
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: Northern Territories to join up with the rest of the

203
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: Fourth Water Transport Company. The pair will never see each

204
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: other again. Look at the way that man slumped, says Helen,

205
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: as they make their way across the sand. On warm

206
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: evenings like this, with the sound of waves lapping softly

207
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: at the shore and the light turning pink and gold

208
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: under the darkening sky, Helen and her husband John Lyons

209
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: could often be found taking a stroll along Summrton Beach.

210
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: Today is Tuesday, thirtieth November nineteen forty eight, the last

211
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: day of spring, and as Helen and John amble north

212
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: towards the quiet Adelaide suburb of Glen Elk, it has

213
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: just gone seven when Helen first spots the smartly dressed

214
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: man lying on the sand just below the Summerton Children's Home.

215
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: John looks to where his wife is pointing at the

216
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: figure lying down with his legs crossed over and stretched

217
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: out towards the ocean. He certainly seemed strangely propped, as

218
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: if he hadn't quite the strength to pull himself fully

219
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: up against the wall. Helen is greatly relieved to see

220
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: the man raise his arm as they pass. Someone's had

221
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: a bit too much to drink by the looks of it.

222
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: Maybe we should report him to the police, jokes John.

223
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: Helen smiles, then turns her head for one more look

224
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: at the prostrate man, her smile becoming a little less

225
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: sure as she turns back to John, threading her arm

226
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: through his and pulls him a little closer. As they

227
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: continue along their way, a young couple pull up outside

228
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: the children's home on a motorbike. Olive and her boyfriend

229
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: Gordon have come for the sunset too, and pick a

230
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: prime spot on a bench just next to the small

231
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: set of steps leading down to the beach. There'd only

232
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: been there five minutes when Olive notices a pair of

233
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: legs in striped brown trousers sticking out from the base

234
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: of the sea wall. She taps Gordon and points leave

235
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: it out. You should mind your own business. What if

236
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: he's dead, you mean sleeping more like. The pair laugh

237
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: it off, but for the next thirty minutes it certainly

238
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: seems odd that the man hasn't moved once, especially with

239
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: so many mosquitoes buzzing about, But each time Olive tries

240
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: to get a better look, Gordon pulls her back, telling

241
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: her it's rude to pry. As twilight descends and all

242
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: around them the street lights are coming on, Olive notices

243
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: a man in a blue suit walking past, before stopping

244
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: just above where the man is lying. She watches him

245
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: as he looks down at the obscured figure on the

246
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 1: sand for what seems like a good few minutes, before

247
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: turning away and disappearing down one of the streets off

248
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: the seafront. Not long after, Gordon and Olive are back

249
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: on their bike and riding off into the warm, hazy night.

250
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: Now a word from our sponsor Better Help. It can

266
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: John Lyon is back at the beach for an early

267
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: morning swim. After emerging from the water, he notices two

268
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: men with horses looking at something close to the sea wall.

269
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: As John draws closer, the object of their interest slowly

270
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: begins to reveal itself. Although he can't be sure, it

271
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: looks for all the world to be the same man

272
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: from the night before, still lying strangely slumped, with his

273
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: head hanging limp to the right. The two other men,

274
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: local jockeys, Neil Day and Horry Patching, had just been passing,

275
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: they said when they found him like that. As John

276
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: draws closer in the starkness of the early morning light,

277
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 1: he sees him clearly now for the first time, his

278
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: broad shoulders and coarse, reddish hair receding from the front

279
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: and graying slightly at the sides. He's dressed in a

280
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: white shirt with a red and blue tie, under a

281
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: brown wool knitted pullover, with a gray and brown double

282
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: breasted jacket and brown leather shoes. John sees two immediately

283
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: and without question that the man is dead. Police Constable

284
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: John Moss of nearby Brighton Police Station arrives to find

285
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: John Neil and Horry, along with the steadily growing crowd

286
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: of onlookers waiting by the corpse. Moss inspects the body,

287
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: finding it cold, stiff, and damp from the morning dew,

288
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: then opens the eyelids to briefly examine the gray irises

289
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: and dilated pupils. He makes the routine and ultimately unsuccessful

290
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: check for a pulse and discovers a half smoked cigarette

291
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: between the man's right cheek jacket lapel, but no sign

292
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: of blistering, suggesting it had perhaps fallen from the mouth

293
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: after it had already gone out. The constable judges the

294
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: man to have been somewhere in his forties or fifties.

295
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: He notes the loose hanging arms by his side and

296
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: the lack of obvious signs of violence or damage to

297
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: the body, nor does the surrounding sand appear to have

298
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: been much disturbed. He notes, also with some surprise, how

299
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: clean the man shoes appear for someone who might have

300
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: been walking along the seafront. Searching the pockets for id,

301
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: he finds instead an unused second class rail ticket from

302
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: Adelaide to Henley beach, a seven p tramway bus ticket,

303
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: a thin aluminum comb, some chewing gum, a packet of

304
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: Army Club cigarettes and a box of matches. A short

305
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: time later, with the pale morning sun lifting ever brighter

306
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: and higher into the sky, a warm breathe sweeps loose

307
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: grains across the beach as John Lyons watches the body

308
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: being placed into the ambulance and finally driven away. Doctor

309
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: John Bennett is on hand to meet the vehicle as

310
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: it palls into the forecourt of the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

311
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: Going on the extent of cyanosis and degree of rigor mortis,

312
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: Bennett judges the man to have died no more than

313
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: eight hours, previously putting the time of death loosely at

314
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: some point around two o'clock that morning. Doctor Bennett formerly

315
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: declares the man deceased, suspecting a possible coronal seizure as

316
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: the cause, although his unable to ascertain exactly how he

317
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: died at this point. From here, the body is driven

318
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: directly to the city Morgue at West Terraced Cemetery in

319
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: the southwest corner of Adelaide's Central park Lands. Piece Moss

320
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 1: helps to wheel the body inside, where moments later coroner

321
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: John Dwyer removes the clothes and ties a blank cardboard

322
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: label around the big toe. Dwyer places a sheet over

323
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: the body and wheels it up to the refrigeration unit,

324
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: opens the door and eases it on to one of

325
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: the racks. Moss bags up the items found with the body,

326
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: along with each piece of clothing, noting with some curiosity

327
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: how most of the labels appear to have been snipped out,

328
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: leaving only frage remains. With Moss's work complete, the task

329
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: to identify the man is transferred to the Adelaide Metropolitan

330
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: Police where Detective Sergeant lion Or Lean is instructed to

331
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: oversee the investigation committed as they are to putting a

332
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: named unknown bodies. Even with little suspicion of any foul play,

333
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: such cases can often prove to be lengthy distractions from

334
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: more pressing work, so there is some relief when later

335
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: that evening, Lean's department receives a call from Sergeant Fennick

336
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: of Glenelg Police Station with a strong lead on the

337
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: man's id. Fenix suspects the body to be that of

338
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: fifty five year old Edward Cecil Johnson, who'd recently gone

339
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: missing from his home in Paynham, a northeastern suburb of Adelaide.

340
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: Fennick asked them to look out for a fractured elbow

341
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: and partially missing little finger. The following morning, the second

342
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: of December, Constable Sutherland of the Metropolitan Police joins John

343
00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: Dwyer to oversee the unknown man's autopsy and watches patiently

344
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: as the sheet is pulled back, only to reveal five

345
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: digits clearly intact on each hand. Edward Johnson is not

346
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: their man. As Dwyer meticulously carries out the two hour autopsy,

347
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: something even more unexpected is about to come to light.

348
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,240

367
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: finds the body to be that of a man in

368
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: good physical condition who'd taken reasonably good care of himself.

369
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: His fingers and toe nails are recently clipped and clean,

370
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: and his face is clean shaven, none of which talies

371
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: with the police's first suspicion that the man was a

372
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: drunk or vagrant of some description, although there are a

373
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: significant number of teeth missing from both the up and

374
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: lower jaw eighteen in total. Dwyer puts him at roughly

375
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: forty five years old and measures him at five ft

376
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 1: eleven in height. He has a significant physicality, with the

377
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: broad and muscular body of a man possessed of considerable strength.

378
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 1: Dwyer pauses for a moment at his eyes. Looking a

379
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: little closer, he notes an odd unevenness in his pupils,

380
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: as if they'd been unnaturally reacting to something just prior

381
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: to his death. Moving round the back, Dwyer finds a

382
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,959
Speaker 1: deep lividity behind the ears and neck where the blood

383
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: has settled, consistent with the position the body had been

384
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: in after the man died. He also finds a small

385
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: amount of sand in the hair, but nothing in the

386
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: nostrils or mouth, suggesting, along with the cleanliness of his shoes,

387
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: that he'd not been on the beach before he died.

388
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: Like doctor Bennett, Dwyer too assumes a condition of the

389
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: heart to be the most likely cause of death, and

390
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: Dulie finds a congestion of blood in all the major organs,

391
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: a telltale sign of heart failure. So it's with some

392
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: surprise that when he examines the heart itself he finds

393
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: it not only in a healthy condition, but tough and firm,

394
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: like the heart of a younger man. He's even more

395
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: surprised when he opens the stomach to find blood inside,

396
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: which points to a very different cause of death. Indeed,

397
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: Dwyer can't yet be sure, but going on the evidence

398
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: so far, he's left with the suspicion that although it

399
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: may well have been heart failure that killed the man,

400
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: his death had not occurred naturally. He had been poisoned,

401
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: either by his own hand or by some one else's.

402
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: With no obvious signs of anything lethal having been ingested,

403
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: Dwier wanders for a moment if a hypodermic needle had

404
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: been used. He checks in between the toes and the

405
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: knuckles for a puncture wound, but finds nothing save for

406
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: a light scar on the left arm and a few

407
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: abrasions across the hand. Later that afternoon, Constable Sutherland delivers

408
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: tissue samples to the state Government Department of Chemistry in

409
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: the north of the city, along with samples of blood

410
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: and urine. Each is received by doctor Robert Cohen, the

411
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: deputy government chemical analyst, and will be tested for cyanides, alkaloids, barbiturates,

412
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: and carbolic acids. It will be a few days before

413
00:30:53,800 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: the results can be known. The following morning, Detective Lean,

414
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: in his white panama and dark sea succor suit, grabs

415
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: the copy of the Adelaide Advertiser from a new stand.

416
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: Lean's attention is momentarily caught by a front page article

417
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: announcing the arrest of two spies captured in the British

418
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: zone of Vienna, before he flicks past to page two

419
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: and finds what he's looking for. Dead man still unidentified

420
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: reads the title. Satisfied that that will do the trick,

421
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: he returns the paper to the new stand and heads

422
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: off to work. A hot day as steadily brewing as

423
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: Lean makes his way to the City Detective's office on

424
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: Anger Street. The South Australian task Force consisted of fifteen

425
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: or so personnel spread out across four small rooms, and

426
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: base was at a premium. It wasn't uncommon to see

427
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: any one of Constables Sutherland and Storch or Detective Caney

428
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: squeezed onto the window sills or perched on the end

429
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: of tables as they compiled their reports and checked their

430
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: paperwork that morning. As they gather around, Lean takes the

431
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: team through Dwyer's report, advising them to start considering the

432
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: case as a suicide or a possible homicide, and to

433
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: step up their search for the man's identity. Later, after

434
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: receiving photos of the body and fingerprints from the morgue.

435
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: The team put together case packs to be mailed with

436
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: copies of the prints and photographs to all major police

437
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: headquarters in the nation. In late nineteen forties Australia, by

438
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: identifying a dead body could be a particularly arduous task.

439
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: The end of war had triggered a tidal wave of

440
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: mass migration, as many people unwilling or unable to return

441
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: home looked to re establish their lives elsewhere. For Australia,

442
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: the sheer scale of the hostilities, not to mention the

443
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: attacks on Darwin and Sydney Harbor, had left many in government,

444
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: perhaps recognizing the manner in which the nation had itself

445
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: been established, terrified that such a young and underpopulated country

446
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: was dangerously susceptible to invasion. Between nineteen forty seven and

447
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty two alone, what was called a populate or

448
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: Parish policy resulted in a hundred and eighty thousand people

449
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: arriving to take up homes and jobs. The policy was

450
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: heavily racially controlled, with Minister for Immigration Arthur Corwell terrified

451
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: that what he called the Yellow Races might one day

452
00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: take over. Corwell had hoped also to Most of the

453
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: new arrivals would come from the British Isles. However, with

454
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: British shipping crippled by war, the government was forced to

455
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: open its doors to Eastern and Southern Europeans, who often

456
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: arrived on makeshift papers with no friends or family to

457
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: receive them, and were sent to work on the most

458
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: manual and transitory jobs. Thanks to the newly revised article

459
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: in the Advertiser, more than twenty police have contacted the

460
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: City Detective's office by the end of the day, mostly

461
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: with info from distraught relatives worried for the safety of

462
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: their lost sons, brothers and fathers. But one call stands

463
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: out amongst them all. It came from a man named

464
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: Brian Joseph Dietmarch. You've been listening to Unexplained Season six,

465
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: episode twenty two to more Names, Part one of three
